Read my Divergent Movie Review here: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/divergent-movie-review/

OK, so, where do I begin.

I just saw this trailer about in hour ago, and now I believe that I can put my thoughts into words.

First off, I LOVE this trailer! It’s action packed and shows that an AWESOME movie is upon us! I love “Tris’s” short hair! I think it blends into the story very well!

I also love the intense music in the background, especially the part where Caleb talks at the beginning.

Watching this trailer really makes me want to re-read Insurgent!

What were your thoughts on the Insurgent Trailer? Tell me below!

Good Night Book Worms!

NaNoWriMo 2014: Chapter 5

Today I chose to walk home instead of taking the bus. “Why are we walking today? I’m so hungry!” wined David. “I think it would be better to get some fresh air, before we hear what’s going on at home.” I say. “Why? What’s going on?” Sometimes I forget that David’s only 4, and does not know the current events.
“Nothing, just the usual.” I reply calmly, so David does not make any more speculations. As we are walking, I remember that there is a bakery down the street that’s good, and lucky for me, cheap. “Hey, want to go to the Bakery down the street?” I ask David. More time spent away from home. “YES!” screams and shrieks David. At least someone is happy.
While walking I spot a police car very close to the bakery. “This doesn’t look good.” David whispers. I grasp on to his hand, and slowly we walk close to the bakery.
“What’s going on?” I ask the police officer. “This was the last place Smool went before getting sick, in hospital. If you’re planning on getting in, make your way home.” We do as we are asked. “Maybe tomorrow we can make cookies at home.” I tell David. “Okay.” David replies, unenthusiastically.
I wish there was one place where I could go to avoid going home.

Holiday Reading: 12 Days of Books Tag!

Hey guys!

Today I’m going to be doing the 12 Days of Books Tag! I was not tagged by anyone, but I thought it would be SUPER fun! This tag was created by one of my favourite book bloggers, Ashley from Down the Book Hole, here’s the original tag: http://fallingdownthebookhole.com/2014/12/01/12-days-of-books-tag-original/! Lets get started!

Here’s my review for it: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/05/06/since-youve-been-gone-by-morgan-matson-book-review/!

On the second day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Two Turtle Doves : Love Is In The Air, Who Is You OTP?

OTPs are always so hard for me to chose, because I have SO MANY favourites! But, I think I’m going to have to go with Cinder and Prince Kai from Cinder by Marrisa Meyer! Through all of the obstacles that both of them face, they still keep there love for eachother at heart!

On the third day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:

My favourite series consits of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS! That series is The Land Of Stories by Chris Colfer! I’m obsessed with those books, and always will be! The fourth one is coming out in July 2015 and the LAST one is coming out the summer of 2016! I need them both now!!!!

On the fifth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Five Golden Rings : One Ring To Rule Them All! Who is Your Favorite Villain/Antagonist?

Villain’s are such a key thing in all books! My favourite villain is Sophie from The School For Good and Evil by Soman Chainani. Although, I didn’t really like the story, I LOVED Sophie and Agatha!

On the sixth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Six Geese a Laying : Creation Is A Beautiful Thing! What is Your Favorite World/World-Building?

My favourite world building book is the whole Harry Potter Series! I know you guys are going to MURDER ME because of this, but I have only read the first Harry Potter book! Hopefully, one day I will finish the series!

On the seventh day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Seven Swans a Swimming: Who Needs Seven Swans When All It Takes Is One Good Animal Sidekick To Make A Hero Rock! Who Is Your Favorite Animal Sidekick?

On the eleventh day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Eleven Pipers Piping: Where Would We Be Without Music? What Is Your Favorite Book or Bookish Thing That Deals With Music? (It can be about music, reference music a lot etc.)

Pretty much, all of Morgan Matson’s books have music as a huge theme! I didn’t want to repeat the same book twice, so I’m choosing Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. I have yet to read this book, but I KNOW it’s going to be AMAZING!

On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
12 Drummers Drumming: Drum Roll Please…………………….What Is Your Favorite Read of This Year?

Reading, Reading, Reading Turns 1

Today, December 8, is my one year bloggiversery! I cannot believe it’s already been one whole year! You guys mean so much to me, I couldn’t thank you enough. I’m so glad to be part of such an amazing community. I have been in love with reading since I could remember, and didn’t believe my eyes when I heard about blogging. I would also like to say a special thanks to Simon and Schuster Canada, especially Catherine and Michelle. Both of you girls have been SO lovely, and I cannot thank you enough for all of the amazing books you have provided me with. I was so happy when I got to meet Michelle at the Toronto International Book Fair! This community has gotten me so much more involved in all types of books. I would not have read some off my all time favourite books, if it wasn’t for your reccomedations. Each and everyone of you are special. Thanks and NEVER STOP READING!

Thanks for an awesome year.

NaNoWriMo 2014: Chapter 4

My dad became a back-up scientist last year. My family was poor at the time, so it was a pleasure to hear that my father became recruited. He was one of the only people in our community that graduated with honours and a master’s degree in science. When my father found out that there was a job opening for a back-up scientist, we were absolutely thrilled. The pay is amongst the highest range, which we thought we be great for our family.
Although, hearing the news that the scientists predicated the wrong DDK, placed my heart lower than ever before. What would happen to us? What if my father was fined? What if he was fired? I don’t want to know the answers.
I guess when I come home from school this afternoon, I will find out.
