February 2017 TBR

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Hey Friends!

Welcome back to my second TBR of the year! 

If you want to know where my Wrap Up of the books i read in January then that will be coming out on the 1st of every month and my TBR of the month will be published on the 30th/31st of the month or in this months case on the 28th.

Because its the month of love, i wanted to read a romantic book and to be honest i wanted to read 50 shades of grey for valentines day out of sheer curiosity but they didn't end up being here in time for the beginning of the month so i decided to read two others books, 

The books iv chosen for this month are quite short because I'm very aware that this month has less days and i still wanted to read two books so they are still quite short, 

The first book i plan on reading is We Were Liars By E. Lockhart  (which is such a beautiful last name i wish it was mine) This book has 225 pages, I first heard about this book from Zoella in her first book club which i will link the Video HERE and it currently on sale at WHSmith which is where i get a lot of my books. Its supposed to be a really quick read but i take a little longer than most to read. I don't actually know a lot about the book, i know it contains so romance and a little mysterious which is my favourite kind of book to read. A lot of people who have read the book have said not to read any reviews to avoid spoilers so i really know nothing.

The second book is Wonder by R.J.Palacio. The book has 310 pages. I was given the book when it was first released in 2012 at a school trip and iv just never had the desire to read the book until now. Iv seen a few people speak about this book but not many. Once again i don't know much about the book, all i know its a book about a boy who has a disability and was home schooled all his life and then moves to a privet school and his struggle to make friends and its about accepting people for more than what they look like i think, as iv said i don't know a lot and that is what i know from GoodReads. 

Well that's my TBR for this month I'm really excited to start reading.If you have any books you recommend leave a comment and let me know and if your excited for this new series let me know by following the blog to never miss a upload. If you want me to talk about anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram.

Much love speak soon,

January TBR 2017

I'm on the hunt for who i have not yet become...

Hello my darlings 

welcome to 2017!

This is my first real post of 2017. If you have read my Goals for 2017 post which i will link HERE, i have been itching for a while to read more. I love books and  i used to read quite a bit but iv got dyslexia and i really struggle to read big books because it does put me off, but this year i want to try and read a lot. 

Today i wanted to tell you about the books i plan on reading this month and i want to post blogs like this once or twice a month letting you guys know what I'm reading and what iv read this month. I want to read all kinds of books; i love YA fiction the most but i love crime and fantasy so i will read a lot of these types of books.

This month i want to read two books with one of the books is quite thick so i am easing myself into reading bigger books and reading more books so hopefully i will start to read more than two books a month but two is my minimum. 

If i can i read more books than this i will be happy but two books in my first month of reading I'm okay with that.

The first book i bought a while ago, its by a Canadian author and artist Rupi Kaur.

The book is called Milk and Honey. I knew nothing of the book when i first bought it. I had seen a picture of the book and a page in the book and it was beautiful. I knew instantly that it was a book of poems. I had bought the book from Amazon and all i know about the book is that it has four chapters of little notes relating to the chapter.

The next book iv been planning on reading and i haven't read before now because of Christmas, my cousin actually got tired of me talking about this book and bought it for me. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. I actually first heard about this book from a book youtuber Emily Fox and she raved about this book and after hearing about the book Zoella spoke about the book being made into a film, and after i heard about it i was super excited to read it. The book is about a boy and a yew tree that turns into a monster that calls upon the boy during hard times, That's all i know about the book and I'm super excited to get reading,

If you have any books you recommend leave a comment and let me know and if your excited for this new series let me know by following the blog to never miss a upload. If you want me to talk about anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram.

My 2017 goals and plans

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

Hello friends 

Iv taken a little brake over the past few weeks but I'm back and I'm so excited for this new year. 2016 was a difficult year for me within the past 12 months i have lost 3 family members and 2 of which i was very close. My family life has been all over the place in the past year and a lot has changed and it will continue to change coming into the new year. I'm not like a lot of people who will say "2016 was the worst year of my life" because i know what down looks like and no matter how hard this year has been i know a lot of grate things have happened this year.

Today I'm going to be telling you what my new years resolutions and plans for this year

This first one is to start to live a minimalist lifestyle. So you might have noticed from my 100 days of products iv got a huge makeup collection and to be honest my makeup collection, my candle collection, my book collection, my pj collection and my Disney collection. which sounds like a lot but it really isn't, however i have just done a huge clear out for charity and iv realised how much stuff i have and don't even use so iv used had a huge clear out of tshirts, jeans, sweat pants, socks, out of date makeup, hand bags and perfumes all that will be going to charity or in the bin so we are starting the new year with a good start.

The next resolution is to take better care of my skin and hair. So in the past 6 months iv been bleaching my hair to get all kinds of colours iv been blue, purple and I'm currently dark green, but my hair is super damaged and iv recently cut my hair short because of the damage but its the same with my skin, i always preach good skin care is half of a killer makeup look but my skin is always super dry because I'm so dehydrated so i want to take better care of my skin and my hair because lets be honest damaged hair never looks good and it only makes me very insecure.

the next thing i want to do is to relax more and iv noticed the last few days that when I'm running around all the time and not sitting down and taking time out I'm irritated and i don't do anything to the highest standard i can which is something i try to do in everything i do, so i want to relax more and take time for myself.

Finally i want to blog more and read more to expand myself. I want to do more than just beauty on the blog and i want to do more on books. I just want to do more than just beauty. I just want to say i will continue to do beauty but i just want to educate myself and do something that i enjoy and you guys enjoy.

I hope you guys have had a good Christmas and have a good new year if you have got any goals for the thew year leave a comment and let me know. If you want me to talk about anything leave a comment or tweet me @p_a_pblog and to be the first to see what iv gotten up to follow my Instagram. Also don't forget to follow my blog to be apart of our little community and to get a email every time i upload so you never miss a post.
