<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>"Taylor Cipriano had everything figured out, back when she lived with her single mother in Miami. Now, she's moved upstate for her junior year to live with her mom's boyfriend and soon-to-be-stepsister and is trying to figure out who she is out of the shadow of her best friend. When she meets Theo- quirky, cute, sensitive Theo- he seems like a great match... Except he has a girlfriend. Josey, icy, and oh-so-intimidating.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>But Theo and Josey aren't like anyone Taylor's met before; Josey grew up in a polyamorous family, and the two of them have a history of letting a third person into their relationship. It's nothing Taylor's ever considered before... but she really likes Theo.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This was a different read, especially when it comes to YA romance. The highlight for me was the relationship between Taylor and Josey. This wasn't a book I devoured hungrily but it was a steady grower that held my attention and gave me an interesting look at polyamorous relationships and how people perceive them. One annoying thing? There are so many spelling and grammar mistakes in this, more than any book I've ever read.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you were going to read a book on Ted Bundy, this would be the one to go for. It's a long read, detailing events before the murders when Ann met Bundy and concluding with his execution. The foreword is the most interesting to me. The book has been rereleased so many times and the before the book properly starts, it includes near misses with Bundy that scores of women wrote to Ann about and while she doubts that all of them that she received are real, the ones included in the book are ones she felt were genuine encounters. They're chilling to read.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The book itself is also great but extremely long. It took me ten days to finish this! I highly recommend it though.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is such a well written psychological thriller that kept me guessing til the very end. It's taken me a while to get there but I finally understand the Colleen Hoover hype.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I missed my usual Glossybox blog post last month, a cross between forgetting and then laziness when I remembered I hadn't done it. And I'm writing about the May box in June. All signs point to a blogging slump, one that I want to try to combat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">May's box featured the usual five items, all of which were full size. The total value of all the products comes to a whopping £81, when the cost of the box is only £10 plus P&P. The box cost can lower depending on what method you choose when you subscribe. I pay once per month and can cancel whenever I like but 3 month, 6 month and yearly subscriptions are available too. You can also sign up for a year and still pay monthly, which comes out at £8.50 instead of £10 per month.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The week before Easter we headed down south for a wedding in Plymouth. We thought since we were going all that way, we'd make the most out of it and drive to St Ives the day after. We booked an apartment with <a href="https://www.aspects-holidays.co.uk/" target="_blank">Aspects Holidays</a> who have a wide range of properties all over Cornwall.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The apartment was perfect for the two of us (38 Carrack Widden if you're interested!) and was only a ten minute walk to the harbour and main stretch of restaurants. It did imvolve a steep uphill walk everytime we came back though, which I was cursing by the end of the week!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had an amazing week and some beautiful weather to go with it. Neither of us had been to St Ives before but we fell in love with it. We'll definitely be using Aspects Holidays again next year for another visit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've been slacking lately when it comes to posting and even the April edition of What I've Been Reading is late. Anyone else get these slumps when it comes to blogging?! April was a standard month when it came to reading, I finished a total of six which is about my average for a whole month.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Nina's mum isn't so sure. But she's busy with her new husband and five year old Katie. And Nina's almost an adult after all.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>And if Nina sometimes wakes up with little memory of what happened the night before, then her friends are all too happy to fill in the blanks. Nina's drunken exploits are the stuff of college legend.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>But then one dark Sunday morning, even her friends can't help piece together Saturday night. All Nina feels is a deep sense of shame, that something very bad has happened to her..."</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, this was a brilliant read. I could hardly put it down. It has everything, funny moments and angsty moments plus characters you grow to care about. At times I was horrified by some of Nina's drunken decisions but the book comes full circle to the night in the first chapter, making this an important story not just about addiction, but also consent.</span></div>

Some parts were a little predictable, I'd guessed what Eloise's secret was before it was revealed but it didn't make me love the story itself any less. A definite recommend.</span></div>

When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is called in to investigate. But this is no simple missing person's case; the house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and soon Veronica in plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking connection to Veronica's past, the case hits closer to home than she ever imagined."</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The season 4 revival of Veronica Mars comes out this summer and articles online stated that events in these books, which take place after the film, are canon to the series. So I obviously had to read it! The second book isn't available as an ebook, which is annoying but the first one is. My verdict? It's fab, the dialogue is fitting to all the characters we've grown to know already, especially Veronica's and Dick's. I could practically hear Ryan Hansen saying "Handies only" as I was reading. And if you haven't watched the series yet? Well, I'm biased as it's one of my favourite shows but where have you been?! It has a highly dedicated fanbase for a reason so give it a try, you'll most likely love it!</span></div>

But now he's gone too, and I'm dead set on finding the woman who so carelessly tossed me aside when I was a baby.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>I change my name. Start my new life in college, and just happen to cross paths with the gorgeous, ultra-rich Rhett Montgomery. He's immediately interested in me, not that I'm surprised.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>You see, I planned it that way. I meant for him to find me. He's the one connection to my mother, and I'm using him, so I can destroy her. But I didn't plan on Rhett being so charming. Sweet. Sexy.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Meh. I didn't like this. I finished it but I won't be carrying on to read the rest of the books in this series. The whole book I was waiting for the main character to finally meet her mother and it didn't even happen. That was the part of the synopsis that intrigued me the most and the whole book was just about her relationship with Rhett. It was a disappointment for me, which is a shame as I love some of Monica Murphy's other work. The Friends series is one of my favourites.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was a cute YA read. I much preferred this over Alex, Approximately by the same author.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My favourite book of February! I love Cat Clarke, which you might have realised if you've read my previous What I've Been Reading posts. This was amazing, I couldn't put it down. Proof that you shouldn't give up reading YA just because you're far, far past your teen years! This is a definite recommend, but We Are Young is still my fave by Cat Clarke.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Before buying the original Beauty Blender I'd heard so many different versions of "Once you try it, you'll never go back to using a normal beauty sponge." Do I agree with this statement now I actually have tried it? No. Do I think it's worth the extra money? No.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I put off buying a Beauty Blender for so long based on the price. Why would I spend that much on a simple sponge when I could buy a sponge that does a great job for under a fiver?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But there I was on holiday in the US, ready to buy my Ulta purchases and they had Beauty Blenders right by the tills. I had spending money to spare so I thought 'fuck it, just buy it.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I honestly hardly reach for it now I have bought it. I find it soaks up more product than other sponges I've tried and I don't think my foundation looks any better using it. My sponge of choice is one I actually bought at the same time, the EcoTools Total Perfecting Blender. I love the fact this is a little less squidgy and has two flat edges, which is something I also like about the Real Techniques sponge and the No 7 one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My advice here? Don't always believe the hype, what works for someone else might now work for you so don't feel pressured to love a product just because everyone else seems to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What do you think of the original Beauty Blender? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What's your favourite brand of makeup sponge?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Inside we have seven items and it's a pretty good variety, especially for the price. Glossybox costs £10 plus £3.25 P&P per month on a rolling subscription basis. But they've just launched a new way to pay, where you can sign up for a year in advance but still pay monthly and that makes the boxes £8.50 plus £3.25 P&P per month. You can also pay upfront for boxes with 3 month, 6 month or 12 month plans being available to choose from.</span></div>

I only read the first few chapters and it gave me nightmares. What I did manage to read was interesting and well written so if this sounds like something you'd want to read, I'd say go for it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"Seventeen year old Katelyn Richards is a stronger person than anyone will know, and that is just the way she wants it. Behind her normal facade lies the reality of a broken home life. Thanks to her abusive mother, a string of deadbeat stepfathers, and an unsympathetic system, Katelyn has learned that the only one she can count on is herself. Her life's mission has become to shield her nine year old brother, Kevin, and to give him the future they both wish for. A life with no more abuse, no worries about where their next meal will come from, and no more wondering is they will have a roof over their heads.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>When her mother moves them again, this time to a small town in Montana, Katelyn's resolve is shaken when she meets Max, a cute boy from her new school, who gets a glimpse into her real world. Max slowly manages to break through Katelyn's wall of distrust, stirring up feelings she never saw coming. Now with her world more complicated than she ever intended, Katelyn struggles with the decision to follow her heart into the arms of the first boy she has ever loved. A decision that could risk the promise she made to protect Kevin, and to give them the 'someday soon' that is so close within their grasp."</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the first book I've read by Tiffany King and I feel the same about this as I did about Freeing Carter. Good story but I wasn't invested in the character, but I did prefer this one out of the two.</span></div>

She'll do anything for a quiet life and if telling a few teensy white lies keeps her friends and family happy, then so what? It's not like they'll ever discover what she's really thinking... Until one night, thanks to a pub hypnotist, Natalie's most private thoughts begin to bubble up and pop out of her mouth. Things get very messy indeed, especially when some sticky home truths offend her fiance. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Natalie must track down the hypnotist before the wedding is officially cancelled. So along with bad influence bestie Meg, Natalie finds herself in the Yorkshire parish of Little Trooley- a small village bursting with big secrets, nosy old folk and intriguing Wellington-wearing men. When the girls get stranded in the village with no means of escape and no way to break the hypnotist's spell, Natalie is forced to face the truths she has been avoiding her whole life..."</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm on the fence with this. The story was interesting but there was far too much build up for a very anti-climatic ending. I felt myself growing frustrated at the characters for going along with such cult like rules. I didn't dislike it as such, it just fell a bit flat for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, this was disappointing. I really liked The List by the same author but I really didn't like this. Mostly unlikable characters and I don't think the author has any idea of what message she wanted to send across with this book. Natalie, the main character, is judgmental and selfish. Anyone with a different opinion to her is wrong and she likes to act like she's a big feminist while basically slut shaming her female classmates. Nope, hard pass on this.</span></div>

A must read, in my opinion and when Colleen Clayton releases another book, I'll be there with bells on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I really enjoy Cat Clarke as an author even if I'm not exactly the target audience. This isn't one of my favourites by any means but the story was gripping and I could hardly put it down. If I had to recommend just one Cat Clarke book, it would have to be We Are Young. It was my favourite book I read in the whole of 2018 and I can't rave about it enough to do it justice. Just read it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These boxes both cost £10 plus P&P per month, has what has made this so interesting. For the same price, the difference in value of the contents between the two boxes has been vast. Glossybox offers value for money every time... Birchbox, not so much.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was subscribers choice for the month. We got a choice to two shades; Power, a classic red, or Tidal, a pinky nude. This is a win for me, I agree with all the claims. This is a brilliant liquid lipstick formula!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nope. I don't need yet another product that promises to hydrate my hair. My birchbox profile has my hair type as oily yet over the past year I've constantly been sent products like this. Birchbox says boxes are personalised to suit individual profiles but my experience suggests otherwise, and is just one of the reasons I haven't enjoyed my subscription.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We also a chocolate duo from Hotel Chocolat and I'd eaten them within two minutes of opening the box. They were my favourite part of this month!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The sneak peek for January is<i> </i>a full size <i>CLE Cosmetics Essence Moonlighter Cushion</i> in either <i>Apricot Tinge </i>or <i>Copper Rose.</i> Subscribers get to choose which shade they would prefer. I've obviously cancelled and won't be receiving January's box but if I was, I wouldn''t have been happy. Both shades of this highlighter look dark, so I doubt any pale skinned subscribers would be able to make these work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">November was a very mish-mashed month in terms of reading. Some novels I loved, some I was very disappointed by and there was a fair few I gave up on completely. As always, I'm only going to be mentioning the ones I actually managed to finish which brings us to a total of six, about my usual average for a month.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lets start with one of my favourites for the month. This is a great novel but I had high expectations for it before I even started reading it. Dangerous Girls by the same author is another of my favourites and while Dangerous Boys doesn't quite pack the same amount of punch, it's still a book I'd want to reread in the future. If you haven't read any of these before, start with Dangerous Boys and read Dangerous Girls after. Trust me, you won't regret it!</span></div>

Despite the fact their BFF fathers have been encouraging them their whole lives to be friends, they've managed to avoid each other at all costs. Emma thinks Logan is a callous jerk who cares about nobody but himself. Logan thinks Emma is a stuck-up good-two-shoes with no life. The two couldn't be any more different... which is why Emma is so confused when the Emerson High Computer Club's 'summer fling compatibility test' concludes they're a perfect match.<br /><br />But Logan's not confused. He lied on the test to make his 'sometimes girlfriend' think they're not meant to be and now Emma is furious that he made her lose out on the chance of having a swoony summer romance with the perfect guy. Forced by his stepmother to make it up to her, Logan decides to help her win the heart of her lifelong crush: his best friend, Matt.<br /><br />He knows how much of a challenge this will be. Matt is good-looking, popular and outgoing. Emma is quiet, bookwormish, and scared of everything. However, Logan is convinced that with some major tweaking, he can transform Emma into someone Matt could fall for. But as Summer heats up, so does their budding friendship... and soon, they may be faced with the biggest challenge of all: falling for each other."</i></span></div>

It just didn't happen. Predictability in it's worst form. Give this a miss.</span></div>

Six months ago, her mom killed herself after accusations of having sex with a student, and CeCe's been the subject of whispers and taunts ever since. Now, at the start of her high school senior year, between dealing with her grieving, distracted father, and the social nightmare that has become her life, CeCe just wants to fly under the radar. Instead, she's volunteering at the school's crisis hotline- the same place her mother worked.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My favourite novel in November. A great YA thriller with a bit of romance thrown into the mix, I can't recommend this highly enough. This is the opposite of Left Behind, whose predictability the reason I disliked it so much. There are so many red herrings in The Darkest Lie, that when the big reveal finally happens, you'll be in shock.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"Following a horrific tragedy that leaves her once perfect family devastated, Katherine Patterson moves to a new city, starts at a new school, and looks forward to a life of quiet anonymity. But when Katherine meets the gregarious and beautiful Alice Parrie her resolution to live a solitary life becomes difficult. Katherine is unable to resist the flattering attention that Alice pays her and is so charmed by Alice's contagious enthusiasm that the two girls become firm friends. Alice's joie de vivre is transformative; it helps Katherine forget her painful past and slowly, tentatively, Katherine allows herself to start enjoying life again.</i></span></div>

Sometimes, even, Alice is cruel. And when Katherine starts to wonder if Alice is really the kind of person she wants as a friend, she discovers something else about Alice- she doesn't like being cast off."</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn't like this. I thought about giving up on this so many times but I persevered and ended up disappointed. It was well written but the story just wasn't for me. It was a hard read, especially the flashbacks and I didn't really like a single character. Hard pass.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My only other experience of a Disney park before visiting the OG Disneyland was a day in Disneyland Paris. If you've visited Disneyland Paris, you'll know that the food on offer there are pretty basic theme park offerings. My mind was blown at the difference between the Anaheim and Paris food quality. We had five day tickets but only used them for four but that's more than enough days to do a little food diary post.<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We booked a table service restaurant in each park 60 days in advance. For Disneyland, we made reservations in Cafe Orleans. The Monte Cristo available is often cited as a Disneyland must eat. The normal Monte Cristo contains turkey, ham and swiss cheese but we went for the three cheese Monte Cristo which is swiss, mozzarella and double creme brie. The Monte Cristo are deep fried in a light batter, topped with powdered sugar and serves with a berry puree. We also had the pomme frites, which are french fries tossed with garlic, parmesan and parsley and come with a pot of cajun remoulade. we had one of each and shared them between the two of us and it was more than enough. This is one of the most popular restaurants in Disneyland so reservations are necessary as they weren't accepting anyone without them when we visited.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another Disney must eat, this one isn't just limited to Disneyland as this is also available at WDW. I went for a Dole Whip Float rather than just a standard Dole Whip as Pineapple juice is one of my favourite drinks. This was really refreshing as it was hot (at least for us Brits!) when we visited. This is available from the Tiki Juice Bar.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another quick service restaurant we ate at was Red Rose Tavern. This is in Fantasyland and is themed to Beauty & The Beast, so trying The Grey Stuff is a must! We also a Slow Cooked Beef Poutine each, which was really filling for the price.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ulta and Sephora were on my must visit list while in America. Dragging Glenn round three different sephoras and two different ultas was probably not the best idea but there was only mild complaining. I definitely spent more than I probably should have...</span><br />

<i>Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in Gingerbread Girl</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Melted Matte are one of my favourite formulas of liquid lipsticks and I originally wanted to get my hands on Gingerbead Man but it wasn't in stock so I picked Gingerbread Girl up instead. This is darker than Gingerbread Man but is still such a me shade.</div>

Which of her friends is hiding the demon?</i><br /><br /><i>Knowing her life is in danger in more ways than one, Kassidy puts her trust and hopes into one of the voices she can hear in her head and decides to split from the group and go it alone. But has she put her trust into the wrong hands? Is Kassidy being manipulated by her own paranoia or is there something else more sinister twisting her thoughts?"</i><br /><br />The last book in the Kassidy Bell series, it seems like I've been waiting ages for this. I'd actually forgot what had happened during the end of the last book when I started reading this but managed to catch up again quite quickly. This book series has been one of my faves over the last couple of years and I definitely recommend it.<br /><br /><br /></span></div>

That's why they sent her to Brooks Academy- an alternative high school that's used as a temporary detention center.</i><br /><br /><i>The days at Brooks are miserable, but at home, life is far more bleak. Savvy's struggling to take care of her brother since her mom left years ago, and her alcoholic dad can't be bothered. Life with Evan is a constant challenge, but he's also the most important person in the world to Savvy.</i><br /><br /><i>Then there's Cameron, a new student at Brooks with issues of his own; a guy from a perfect family that Savvy thought only existed on TV. Cameron seems determined to break through every one of the walls Savvy's built around herself, except if she lets herself trust him, it could make everything she's worked so hard for fall apart in an instant.</i><br /><br /><i>And with her aunt seeking custody of her brother and her ex-boyfriend seeking revenge, Savvy's fighting to hold all the pieces together. But she's not sure how much tighter she can be pulled before she breaks completely."</i><br /><br /><br />They may or may not have been some tears shed while reading this. Okay, there definitely was! I was so engrossed in this book, I only wanted the best for Savvy and the last half nearly ruined me.

<i>"Nothing ruins summer vacation like a secret... especially when it involves a dead teacher.</i><br /><br /><i>Ivy used to be on top of the social ladder, until her ex made that all go away. She has a chance to be Queen Bee again, but only if the rest of the group can keep quiet.</i><br /><br /><i>Tyler has always been a bad boy, but lately he's been running low on second chance. There's no way he's going to lost everything because someone couldn't keep their mouth shut.</i><br /><br /><i>Kinley wouldn't describe herself as perfect, though everyone else would. But perfection comes at a price, and there is nothing she wouldn't do to keep her perfect record- one that doesn't include murder charges.</i><br /><br /><i>Mattie is only in town for the summer. He wasn't looking to make friends, and he definitely wasn't looking to be involved in a murder. He's also not looking to be riddled with guilt for the rest of his life... but to prevent that he'll have to turn them all in.</i><br /><br /><i>Cade couldn't care less about the body, or about the pact to keep the secret. The only way to be innocent is for someone else to be found guilty. Now he just has to decide who that someone will be.</i><br /><br /><i>With the police hot on the case, they don't have much time to figure out how to trust each other. But in order to take the lead, you have to be the first in line... and that's the quickest way to get stabbed in the back."</i><br /><br /><br />Hmmmm. I did finish this and I did like it, but it reminded me a lot of One Of Us is Lying and that is definitely better than this book. It wasn't bad but I did find the ending disappointing.</div>

I knew I wanted to visit The Cheesecake Factory when we were planning our trip but we both ended up liking it so much, we ate here four times in total. Three times in Pasadena and once in Garden Walk, Anaheim. Glenn was obsessed with the complimentary honey oat bread. We tried multiple things including burgers, steaks and chicken. All were amazing.<br /><br /></div>

I've never seen such an extensive breakfast menu like the one Bea Bea's has. But the tagline for the restaurant is 'breakfast is everything' and oh yeah, it is. A must stop for breakfast in LA. We actually tried to eat here on a Saturday morning but it was so busy! That was the day we went to Bob's for breakfast instead. We tried again a couple of days later on a Monday and it was a lot easier to get a table but still busy.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When we began planning our Los Angeles trip, we made a list of the attractions we wanted to visit during our stay. Then we found out about the Go Los Angeles card by Smart Destinations. It's a good way of saving money versus paying for each attraction separately.<br /><br />The Go Los Angeles card is available to buy from <a href="http://www.attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk/" target="_blank">Attraction Tickets Direct</a>, which we also used to buy our Disneyland tickets. The card covers 35 different attractions and you can get 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7 day tickets that can be used over the space of 14 days. We bought 5 day tickets, as Universal Studios Hollywood is only included on tickets with 3 days or more.<br /><br />You can visit more than one attraction in the same day as long as you get to your last one of the day by 5:30pm. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We visited the Queen Mary on our first full day. It was really interesting and you get to pick between one of three tours to do while on board. If I was in Southern California again, I wouldn't hesitate to go back and do one of the other two tours.<br /><br />In the afternoon of the same day, we did a two and half hour whale watching cruise. You'll have to excuse the fact that I have no photographic evidence of this as I spent the majority of it feeling seasick and counting down til we headed back to land! We didn't see any whales while on the tour but we did see hundreds of dolphins right next to the boat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We were planning to drive down to San Diego Zoo as this is also included on the card (or a visit to Legoland California) but we got an hour into the drive and headed back to LA. Los Angeles Zoo is another attraction available so that became our back up plan. I'm so glad we decided to do this, not only did we save ourselves a five hour drive there and back but LA Zoo was really quiet. This meant we were able to talk to the employees one on one about the animals and it was a great experience.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Six Flags Magic Mountain is a must visit for thrill seekers, these are some of the most intense rollercoasters I've ever been on. Not only was it a really good day out but it was so quiet that we hardly queued for anything!<br /><br />The card costs £217 for a 5 day ticket though at the time we bought them, they were £206. If we had paid for everything on the day, it would have cost $417 which is about £325. Even if we booked everything in advance separately, it still would have cost about £273. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The October editions of Birchbox and Glossybox have very different design themes. Glossybox have gone with the obvious Halloween Trick or Treat theme and Birchbox's is "autumnal nostalgia" with a springlike design for the box. Glossy win with the box design for me.<br /><br />On a rolling subscription basis, the boxes actually cost the same price per month which is what makes these comparisons more interesting. Birchbox have mostly sample sizes whereas Glossybox feature mostly full sizes and a greater value for your money.<br /><br />Let's start with Birchbox.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div>

<br />
<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This month includes 2 full sizes, 3 sample sizes and 1 perfume sample. The total value of the full size products adds up to £11.95.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">About a month ago, Glenn and I were preparing to fly out to Los Angeles. Glenn lets me do all the research about places to eat, where to stay and all that jazz.<br /><br />But Glenn kept a plan to himself!<br /><br />For our last five nights we stayed in Anaheim and bought five-day Disneyland tickets. On our first night there, we had a dinner reservation at Cafe Orleans and then just had a wander around the park. Glenn was adamant on getting a selfie in front of the castle, even though he isn't really that much of a Disney park person, but that's just what you do at Disney isn't it?<br />It was just part of his plan! Someone offered to take a photo of us for us, and as soon as Glenn got down on one knee, they started recording it so we can look back on this moment forever.<br /><br />We're engaged!</span>Danni Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17913162869172743317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111177190677272737.post-18443053861386642642018-10-15T19:39:00.001+01:002018-10-15T19:46:29.793+01:00What I've Been Reading: September 2018.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When it came to reading, the month started off so well. The last week in September I was in Los Angeles and I didn't even read on the place there, never mind when I was actually on American soil. I did start a novel on the flight home though, but that's for next month's post!<br /></span><br />

When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out.</i><br /><br /><i>Friends and family all think they're crazy; Lin throws herself into work- animals are so much simpler than humas- and Adam tries to get himself out of the hole he's dug.</i><br /><br /><i>But as the short break becomes a chasm, can they find a way back to each other? Most importantly, do they want to?"</i><br /><br />A cute, funny read. I've never read anything by Lindsey Kelk before but based on this, I'd give something else by her a go. I know we're over summer now, but this would be an ideal beach read if you're heading abroad somewhere warm!</span></div>

<i>"Getting dumped by her boyfriend is not how Veda planned on starting her summer. When Mark makes it clear that it's over between them, Veda is heartbroken and humiliated- but, more importantly, she's inspired. So she sets out on the love quest of a lifetime: use the summer to forget about Mark, to move on, and move up. All she has to do is kiss twenty-six boys with twenty-six different names- one for each letter of the alphabet.</i><br />
<i>From the top of the ferris wheel at her hometown carnival to the sandy dunes of Lake Michigan, Veda takes every opportunity she can to add kisses (and boys) to her list, and soon the break-up doesn't sting quite as much. But just when Veda thinks she has the whole kissing thing figured out, she meets someone who turns her world upside down."</i></div>

If I Fix You<br />
Abigail Johnson<br />
Current Kindle price: £2.99<br />
<br />
"<i>Some things are easy to fix... but are some meant to stay broken?</i><br />
<i>When sixteen-year-old Jill Whitaker's mom walks out- with a sticky note as a goodbye- only Jill knows the real reason she's gone. But how can she tell her father? Jill can hardly believe it herself. Suddenly, the girl who likes to fix things- cars, relationships, romances, people- is all broken up. It used to be, her best friend, tall blond and hot flirt Sean Addison, could make her smile in seconds. But not anymore. They don't even talk. With nothing making sense, Jill tries to pick up the pieces of her life. When a new guy moves in next door, intense, seriously cute, but with scars- on the inside and out- that he thinks don't show, Jill finds herself trying to make things better for Daniel. But over one long, hot Arizona summer, she realizes she can't fix anyone's life until she fixes her own. And she knows just where to start."</i><br />
I really liked this. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but I ended up pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.<br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Glossybox and Birchbox are two of the most well known beauty boxes on the market. They both cost £10 per month on a rolling subscription basis, so for the same price... which box is better this month?<br /><br />We'll start with Birchbox. I love the box design this month and while I do like most of the products this month, there's no full sizes at all so value for money it is not!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Subscribers choice this month was between two <i>Benefit Box O' Powder</i> shades in <i>Galifornia</i> and <i>Gold Rush</i>. I chose Gold Rush and I really like it. This is a blush I can see myself getting a lot of rush out of.<br /><br /><i>Baija Caramelised Honey Body Scrub</i><br />This little jar smells delicious. This is the first product I've received in a Birchbox where I'm seriously considering buying the full size. So glad I got this in my box!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Marcelle City 24H Anti-Pollution Day & Night Moisturising Emulsion</i><br />Here's my problem with getting skincare in Birchbox specifically: Everyone's skin is different and the samples are so small you can't properly test for long enough if a certain product is suited for you. But still, I'll give this tiny sample a go.<br /><br /><i>Nuxe Multi-Purpose Dry Oil</i><br />I've already got another sample of this that I haven't tried yet so I might pass this on.<br /><br /><i>Eyeko Brow Liner</i><br />This brow product doesn't do it for me. I hate how wet it feels and it's so sheer, it doesn't fill in my dark brows adequately. Hard pass.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"A double life with a single purpose: Revenge.<br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Jane's days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty in her floral-print dresses and extra efficient at her low-level job. She's just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes- meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven.</i><br /><br /><i>But plain Jane is hiding something. And Steven's bringing out the worst in her.</i><br /><br /><i>Nothing can distract Jane from going straight for his heart: allowing herself to be seduced into Steven's bed, to insinuate herself into his career and his family, and to expose all his dirty secrets. It's time for Jane to dig out everything that matters to Steven. So she can take it all away.</i><br /><br /><i>Just as he did to her."</i><br /><br />I got this for 99p as my Kindle first selection a few months ago and it sat waiting for me to read it. I wish I'd started it sooner. My favourite book of August! Jane's best friend was in an emotionally abusive relationship, something that she ended up killing herself over. Jane is out to get revenge after losing the only person who ever really mattered to her. The end result is so satisfying especially after we get to see how Steven treats Jane. I can't recommend this highly enough and I'll definitely be reading more by Victoria Helen Stone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"Sammy Woodhouse was just 14 when she met Arshid Hussain. Ten years older, he promised to take care of her. Sammy thought she was in love, but in reality she was being groomed by a ringleader of Britain's most notorious child sex ring.<br /><br />Just A Child tells the heartbreaking story of how a young girl from Rotherham was abused by her drug-dealing 'boyfriend', eventually giving birth to his baby, right under the nose of the very authorities who were meant to protect her. When reality dawned and Sammy realised she was one of countless vulnerable child victims- many of whom were trafficked around the north of England- she took it upon herself to blow the whistle and save others from a similar fate.<br /><br />Thanks to Sammy's bravery, the gang was fully exposed, as well as the authorities that did so little to help her. Her shocking account of how these events came to pass will enrage and sadden but, above all, it will offer hope and show why this must never happen again."</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sammy Woodhouse waived her right to anonymity and is a campaign speaker for Sammy's Law. Her book tells how she was targeted at by Ash, became pregnant at 14, had an abortion and became pregnant again at 15. Ash was violent towards her, going so far as to drive to a cliff and threaten to throw her off. During his abuse, he manipulated her into carrying a truncheon, for which she now has a criminal record. If Sammy's Law comes to pass, it will ensure that abuse victims be pardoned for any crimes committed while being groomed.</span></div>

She's grateful to fellow actor Graham for his friendly support and thinks maybe he's interested in something more- until she sees him sneaking out of beautiful Brooke's room one night...<br /><br />Reid has no holds barred in his pursuit of Emma; he loves the thrill of the chase but he's also experiencing something new. Could be genuinely be falling for his co-star?"</i></span></div>
