Thursday Book Challenge - Week 3

at 10:10 pm



Hey, sorry that I missed a week out of TBC, but you know what it's like, life and the universe got in the way and I forgot! So sorry about that. 

Right, on to what I've been reading! I'm sure you'll remember last time that I was reading TimeRiders: The Doomsday Code, well I finished that and it was excellent! You should definitely give it a read! Now, I've been reading a lot since I was last here so I do apologise now for the inconvenience if this post is very long!

So, the first two books I've read are The Reptile Room and The Wide Window both by Lemony Snicket.


They are the second and third in A Series Of Unfortunate Events, which I think is probably my favourite series of books I've ever read! I know they are for younger kids, but I can't help but just be in love with them! You should give them a read if you a quick and easy read!

I've also finished Life, The Universe and Everything and So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish by Douglas Adams.


I am obsessed with this series of books it's amazing! The fourth book (So Long, and Thanks for all The Fish) isn't as great as the first three, but still definitely worth reading! I would tell you what there about, but I don't want to spoil it for you if you've never read these before!

Okay, so that's all I've read in this past 2 weeks! But before the end of the week is up, I plan on reading H.I.V.E: The Higher Institute of Villainous Education by Mark Walden and Seizure by Kathy Reichs.

Sorry, it feels like all I'm doing now is talking about books, but I really haven't done anything crafty recently, but as soon as I do I will update you on it! Thanks so much for reading, I really do appreciate it! I hope you have a good day/night/evening! And please come back next week for more reading updates! Now head on over to Charly's Blog to see more posts about reading and please join if you want too! We definitely need more readers around the blog scene! xx

Thursday Book Challenge - Week 1!

at 1:19 pm

Hey welcome to the first ever Thursday Book Challenge week! To find out more about this head over to An Accidental Knitter where it explains everything! 


Okay, so I love reading, probably even more than I like crafty things! I haven't been reading very long, but I'm absolutely addicted! I aimed to read 50 books last year and reached that goal! So this year I'm aiming for 75, and to help me along the way me and my cousin came up with this challenge so we could talk about the books we read on here as well as the crafty things we both love to do!!

 

So this week I read The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe by Douglas Adams! It's the second in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series! There's five of them I think. This one is a really good book! I loved it and preferred it to the first one!

I'm not going to go into to much detail about what happens because if you haven't read The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and are planning to read it one day, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. It continues the story of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beetlebrox & Trillian! The characters are really good and the book in my opinion is even funnier than the first! I'm glad I decided to read this one and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes Sci-Fi, and even if you don't, I would still read it as it is hilarious!

Okay, so now I'm reading TimeRiders - The Doomsday Code by Alex Scarrow.


This is the third in the TimeRiders series, so again I won't go into to much detail about what it's about so it won't spoil the others if you want to read it as well! 

So basically the storyline is that in 2060 - something (I think, I can't remember the exact date) - Time Travel is invented, but the man who invented it saw something of which he never told anyone and got time travel banned because of the mess it causes. But people still use it, and so an agency is set up to stop time from being messed up. Liam O'Connor, Maddy Carter and Sal Virkam are all recruited just before they are about to die in their own times to work for this agency! And that is basically what the books are about, them trying to stop time from being messed up! 

These books are very well written and I would definitely recommend these books to anyone again who likes Sci-Fi. Especially if you like Doctor Who or Stargate, you will definitely like these! 

So I will probably finish this book soon and I am planning on reading Life, The Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams, the third in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy! So I'll be here next week updating you on what I've read and have read! Until then, head over to Charly's Blog and feel free to join in The Thursday Book Challenge! Thanks, see you all later! :) x

My Finished Piece!

at 1:54 pm

Sorry about my absence again! Have been ill this week. Anyway, I know it's a long time since I was here telling you about my wedding cross stitch that I was doing, but I thought I'd show you the finished product anyway! Here it is:


What do you think? I know you can't see it on here but I used sparkly thread, so it well... sparkled ... I've never used sparkly (sorry, I don't know what the thread is actually mean't to be called?) thread before, so it was really fun using it for the first time!

Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and reading this short post, see you all soon! x
