Lyre Bird

Lyre Bird By Cecelia Ahern 

The Blurb." In the South West of Ireland rugged mountains meet bright blue lakes and thick Forrest. Deep in the woods a young women lives alone. forever secluded from the world her life a well -kept secret. She possess an extraordinary talent the likes of which no one has seen before a gift that will earn her the nickname of Lyrebird.
When Solomon stumbles into Lauras  solitary existence her life is turned on its head. Pulled from her peaceful landscape to the cacophony of Dublin she is confronted by a world desperate to understand her. 
But while Solomon knows the world will embrace Laura, will it free her to spread her wings- or will it trap her in a gilded cage? Like all wild birds. She needs to fly free..."
Fave quote "It seems that this Women is built entirely on secrets created on one Raised on one exists on one"
My Thoughts: I Loved Loved Loved this book so much the writing style is so whimsical and it has an air of Magical Realism its is in my Opinion the best Cecelia Ahern book ever its so cleverly written and the Charctures are so likable I love Laura as a reader I really felt her vulnerability as she is thrust ed into the modern world  after being secluded for so many years and living in a Forrest to having to take part in a talent show and be the star in a documentary. I also like Solomon he was amazing in my opinion her went to a great chracture journey his charcture felt trapped until he met Laura and i loved his and Laura Chemistry. The Charcture of Bo on the other hand I didn't like her at the beginning I hated her decisions in the story but then I warmed to her at the end and I just wanted to give her a big hug and tell her everything will be allright she also had a great charcture Development through out this book. I would of liked to find out more about Rachel as she was a Character who was in a same sex relationship and I would of liked to find out more about her Girlfriend and her instead of just spinnerets which is a shame as this could of changed the book and have a extra layer then just concentrating annoying Charctures like the guy who invented the Britain's got talent like show I did like the other contestants especially the contestant with the Dummy who gives Laura advice I liked his charcture so much. The Plot was amazing and the plot twist at the begnning and at the end I didn't see coming i love Solomon family apart from Rory who is a bit of a douche bag for what he did to Laura. I gave this book 5 out of 5 on goodreads as it was sooooooo good and i devoured it I would love to own this book one day and just reread it but read it slowly so I am soaking up all the words. Cecelia Ahern is a fantastic Author and i can not wait to see what she writes next. on this blog I give this book a Magical 10/10 so good.

You And Me Always By Jill Mansell

You and Me always By Jill Mansell
Published By Head Line Review
My Edition Published in 2016
Fave Qoute " I Love You Lily I always have loved you"
The Blurb." Lily's always been surrounded by love. Ever since her mother died, she's been cared for by friends who are as close as any family. Coral, her mum's best friend, Patsy her old babysitter and even Dan Patsy's incorrigible younger brother have always been there for her.
But when the chance comes to meet the man who was the love of her mothers life, Lily knows she has to take it. Getting to know him could change everything and not just for Lily"

My Thoughts: I don't normally like contemporary Romance but Jill Mansell has changed that for me. I enjoyed every moment of this book it had me intrigued from the first page to the last i couldn't put it down willing the charcatures to get to together to crying at the sad parts and laughing at the funny parts and even getting angry at the behavior of one charcture.The book is very funny and witty at time Jill Mansell has created at beautiful setting in a Village in the Cotswold's I felt like reading this book that i was one of the Villagers reading the book and that was how much I felt that I got sucked in. The development of the Charctures is really good they had good development which is rare for a comtempary Romance this book has none of the tropes of the Romance and I like that the Chractures do not fall in love quickly its a slow process and they go on dates before they declare that they love them. Lily Character goes on a very good journey trying to find out more about her mothers life as we find out quickly that her mum has died and finds a letter that her mum has written before her death on her birthday about the love of her life Declan and Lily writes to him inviting him over to find out more about her mothers life with him. Then there Corals development who has lost her husband and is trying to move on this is done sensitively and i am satisfied  with her story. I love Patsy and Dan chractures especially Dan who is a cheeky chapy  but I would of loved to have known what happened to there Mum Jill Mansell please tell me if you are reading this what did happen to there mum. But i love that Dan relationships dont last as he is secretly in love bless him. I dislike Lily's real dad couldn't stand him I also like Eddie and Lilys relationship they were very well suited I think but I knew it wouldn't last I loved the plot Twist I did not see it coming. All in all this such a great book to read if you are new to Contempary Romance and if you are new to Jill Mansells work and a great Summer read if you havent already got anything to read this summer. All in all a lovely Book I give it a 10/10.

I Am Malala Book Review

I read this book for Diverse A Thon back in January and I thought it was a really thought provoking and inspiring read. It follows Malala who got shot in the head by the Taliban and survived. I felt that this was more her Dads story as well as Malala and my Praise goes out to her Dad for having the guts to fight for Education for both boys and girls and for speaking out if it wasn't for him Malala wouldn't be speaking out and you can tell in the book that Malala really idolizes her dad and he inspires to to stand up for what is right. While reading this book I really learnt a lot especially about different cultures. While reading this book it made me thankful that I live in a country that is peaceful and we don't have to deal with the likes of the Taliban coming to destroy our peace like they did for Malala and I am also grateful while reading this book that I was able to have an education and it does break my heart that most people don't get that opportunity. The one thing that I got from reading this book that Malala family supported her all the way through her opportunity. The writing style of this book is very passionate and it did make me cry in parts. I like the fact the book is broken up and you get to see some really great photos in the book I love the one with her family all together in the UK. This book is a very strong book and at the focus is a young girl and her very strong relationship with her father and there shared bond over education and you can tell that she is inspired by her father. Its a must read book and I recommend it to everyone to read it once in there lifetime. I gave this book a 5/5 on Good reads.
