Saoirse's September

Hi everyone! This week, I thought we could do things a little differently. It's just me, writing a blog post on my own (a rare occurrence), so I thought I would write a post about the books I read in September.

This month was a good month for me, as I read (and bought!) a lot of books :).

Let's get into the list!

1. Morganville Vampires 3-5 by Rachel Caine.



Rating: 7/10

This is a series about a girl (Clare Danvers) who moves to a quiet town close to home to attend college. What she doesn't realise is that this "quiet" town is crawling with vampires. After an attack she at her dorm, she moves into the Glass House, where she learns the truth about Morganville. She wants to leave ASAP, but will she be able to get past the vampires and will she leave her newfound friends....


2. Immortals: Evermore by Alyson Noel


Rating: 6/10

This is the first book in a series about a girl (Ever) who falls for a boy she meets in school. But this is no ordinary girl - or boy for that matter. Ever can read minds and see auras, and Damen is the only person she has met who seems to have none. She slowly falls for him as he brings her to beautiful places, but all is not what it seems... 




3. Twilight: New Moon (Book 2) by Stephanie Meyer

    Rating: 6/10

I bought this book for myself, as I really enjoyed Twilight. This book was good, but not as good as the first. It follows the story of Bella, a normal girl who falls for Edward and beautiful and different boy. But in the first chapter he leaves her heartbroken. But all is not what it seems... What is going on?




4. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

Rating: 8/10

I bought this book because I had read the Delirium series and loved it. This book didn't disappoint! It is about a girl who has to relive her last 24 hours over and over again, trying to perfect them each time. I really enjoyed its originality,. 



That's it! Some of you may be skeptical on whether I read all those (6) books in just 30 days. I can tell you, on my honour, I did. I read extremely fast (something that isn't always a good thing) and very often. I might write a blog post about that, actually, if this one gets a good response. 

Thanks for reading until the end. I hope you enjoyed this. I would definitely recommend buying/borrowing any (or all) of the books I mentioned above.

Happy reading!

Saoirse

The Future by Neassa

 Hi guys, I know Saoirse wrote a post about her future with the business, what we see happening in the future and where we want this to go. Although I love the sound of here future, I have my own path ahead of me, and it's a bit different. If you haven't read Saoirse's plans, they are: Writing blog posts and maintaining website (year-round, but specifically during COVID and winter) Car boots sales on Saturdays/Sundays during the year and a pop-up stall in summer. (After COVID and while I’m still in school) Pop-up stall as a part-time job (while in college) Actual shop (after graduating) As Saoirse mentioned in her post, right now we are living the dream. Just two normal sisters doing what they love to do. How could that be a bad thing? I am happy and content with we are doing right now, but don't feel as though that will always be the case. I, of course, want to stay a part of this business for as long as I possibly can, but I also have always wanted to be a teacher. I

Reading Consistently: A Quick Guide

Well hello there :), We are gathered today to discuss something that is an amalgamation (spell check? absolutely) of two topics I find quite interesting: reading (obviously) and habit-building. Yes, yes I am a nerd. I have decided to embrace this fact today. I just find it so intriguing how some people have certain habits while some don’t. Of course, many habits are built when someone is a young child, but I think everyone has the power to build new, or change old, habits given the correct tools. So, today I am going to talk about building a reading habit. This is, in my opinion, one of the best habits you can have. It has many benefits, which I’ll do another post on, but briefly some are: increased empathy and vocabulary, better quality sleep and less stress. Just before jumping in, I want to just say: I am no expert. BUT I think I can provide valid advice on building reading habits, as I have a healthy reading habit, experience building my own habits and I have (nerdily) watched coun

Reading indoors vs. Reading outdoors

  Hi all, it’s Neassa and today I’m going to be listing the pros and cons of reading indoors versus reading outdoors, to find out which one reigns supreme! Just to begin, I would like to point out that I enjoy reading indoors and outdoors, so I am curious to see which one will win the battle of the reading spot. Reading indoors: Pros You are always warm and dry When you are reading indoors, the temperature doesn’t change along with the time, so i can begin to read when it was sunny and read straight through a thunderstorm without even noticing. The room will stay heated, I’ll stay cosy (and oblivious at times!) and everything is just right. You have the comfy chairs. I don’t know about you guys, but we have the most comfortable chairs inside. There are a few garden chairs outside, but they are not as comfortable as the big, cushioned chair where I love to curl up with a good book! You can play music When I am reading, I love to play soft, relaxing music that is said to improve concentr
