Reviews and updates.

The Mistletoe Bride and other haunting tales by Kate Mosse

4 Stars

So, I am aware I haven't updated my blog since last Thursday - not because of lack of anything to tell you, I have literally just been busy. So I read this book over the past few weeks. There are about 16 stories in this book? Something along that line. There are a few stories which I wasn't keen on, such as the story about the opera which comes to life at night or ones which were too much about history. There were a number of stories which I did enjoy however, such as the mistletoe bride, or one about a young adult ending up at a church. A few others which I won't delve too much into if you want to read the book. They are short stories, which is better kept to my attention span and it was nice reading where some of the stories came from. However, some of the three page stories were hard to understand or even be engaged with due to the length of them. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and is good if you can't read every day so you don't get lost in the story too much.

The hunger games: Mockingjay part 1. 



4 Stars.
So you're probably reading this blog and thinking, do I never give anything 5 stars? Well, yes I do. There has been a number of books, films etc I have read and watched which I would give 5 stars. However, they just haven't fallen into the books I have read since starting this blog.

So we went to see the new hunger games at the weekend. I wasn't overly hyped like loads of people are - I have enjoyed the hunger games films but I don't think they are the best thing since sliced bread you know? I definitely enjoyed the Divergent film more. Anyways, back to the film.

The film is completely different to the last two as it wasn't set in the hunger games and was much better in my opinion, than the other two. This may be due to the fact that they aren't set in the hunger games and the lack of expectation. It was much more of what I feel the hunger games should be about. If you haven't seen the other two films, watch them so you can watch this one. Also, I have read some people didn't enjoy this film as much as the others, but I did and so did many others I'm sure. 


I also decided to buy a PS4 at the weekend in the Black Friday sales - so yes, I will now be playing on this in some of my spare time but not posting reviews. I would have no idea where to start on reviewing games, I just like to play them :)
