Book Reviews

Hiya Chummies!
So as I have mentioned in my other post, I luvvvvvvvv books! When people say thinks like, "Oh I haven't read a book for like 2 years" or, "Ugh I hate reading!", I look at them blankly for a while then walk away. However, I do know that there are a lot of books out there that you just cant get your teeth into ( not literally), you don't get sucked into the story line. It is so frustrating when you find that type of book so today I am going to give you some book reviews!

" Anna Dressed in Blood" is written by Kendare Blake and is a Horror book Anna is a ghost, murdered a long time ago. She kills people. Cas is a ghost hunter. He kills ghosts. Anna has had a curse put on her that anyone who came into her house, she would have to kill.  When Cas and his friends come in, she doesn't kill them. That gets Cas's attention. They soon fall in love and it is a love to DIE for. i recommend this book for people between 12 and 16. Obviously, it depends how advanced you are a as a reader. This is a very grabbing book but I am not very good at writing grabbing summarties. I highly recommend this. I aso recommend the sequel! Girl of Nightmares but I am half way through reading it!



The Mortal Instruments
PRAISE FOR THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!!!!!!!
That was a little spoiler alert for tomorrows post... So, I am not going to say that much except that there are 6 books in The Mortal Instruments series. 
City of Bones
City of Ashes
City of Glass
City of Fallen Angels
City of Lost Souls
City of Heavenly Fire.
They are about.. these people... who do this thing.. basically, just look at my post about it  tomorrow, I will put a link for it here.
The Fault in Our Stars is by John Green and is a romance novel with Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort. Now I am sure pretty much all of you have either heard of the book or the movie... or the song.  It is about a girl called Hazel Grace who has cancer. One day, she goes to a cancer support group and meets Augustus Waters. They fall in love and go on a wild adventure but when disaster strikes, can they stay loyal to each other? Again... I can't really write summaries.

And That is all I've got for you guys today! I am really sorry I didn't say more but I was doing my secret project!
See ya later, Alligator

Car Boot Haul

Hiya Chummies!
Today I went to the Chiswick Car Boot sale with my good friend Edie .
Here are some of the things I bought!
This is a map of Britain published in 1945. I got it for £2. It is printed on paper. ( cloth was 3 pounds). When it was made, it cost two shillings and threepence.

 
This a little leather notebook from the Middle east which I accidentally deleted the picture of so this is all I have! It is bound by a thread of brownishred thread and is leather. On the front it has an intricate design of a camel. The paper is hand made, thick and tough. I have been wanting one of these for ages! I got it for £3

Ignore the soaked teddies, they are my dogs, I just thought they gave a wee tumblr. look.... What was I thinking!? Anyway, focus on the little treasure box at the end. It is solid, thin wood and has a leather stuck on map on the top and sides. I got it for £1.



These cute little glasses are from the 1980's! I am going to use them to hold my earrings in as I am always losing earrings. They cost 50p each but I got them in a 3 set for £1. They are pure glass and adorable!

Ok, so I may have a little confession to make. I may have bought it for the box... The box is just so adorable and fragile. The brouche inside is quite ugly and doesn't look like eyore at all. Although it is hand-painted and extremely delicate. It cost me £2.



There isn't much to say about it. This is a glass bottle that cost me £3. What else are you meant to say??




Now. I didn't actually get this from the Car Boot. Edie got it from the last Car Boot but she didn't use it. She was going to give it to her little sister but she wouldn't really appreciate the tumblrness of it so I decided to take it off their hands! It is made of old fashion records... 

And here is a selection of everything I got!


Now, I know this wasn't one of my normal posts with loads of writing and not a lot of pictures but I decided I just wanted to show you what I bought! 
See ya later, Alligator
