Character Interview: Derek Reid.


Hello, this is my first Character Interview and i'm going to do it with Derek, not because he's a MC but because i think he has alot going on for a secondary Character and i don't really understand him sometimes.

Interview with Derek Reid
Me: Hey Derek, Thanks for being here today, I originally wanted Luke to interview first but he’s too busy with other stuff
Derek: Charming, why would anyone want him more than me? I’m so much more handsome.
Me: Well Summer wanted him and not you didn’t she?
Derek : ( Giving me evils)  Don’t talk about Summer, anyway I’m over her now.
Me: Is that just because she’s dead or because She was married to your brother.
Derek: Both, and I’ve been with women who were much hotter than her.
Me: Okay let’s change the subject now Derek. How’s Luke dealing with Summer’s death in your opinon?
Derek : Well he wasn’t dealing with it well, I mean he disowned me his own brother, but now he seems to be doing better , but he won’t move on it’s infuriating me.
Me: Well he did disown you because you told him you loved his wife like an hour after she died but you know all that so let’s skip that part. Why do you want him to move on?
Derek:  because it’s been four years , and I love little Bella, and I can see she needs a mother, and Lu can’t give her that… unless he tries to find her a step mum.
Me: Aww , I love it when your sensitive side starts to come out Derek.
Derek: I don’t have a sensitive side what are you talking about? I want him to move on mostly because I want a wing man to go to bars with!
Me: You think he’s going to go to bars with you? What’s he going to do take his four year old to pick up women?
Derek: No Abby will look after Bella.
Me: That’s a good idea, leave your ex with your brother’s daughter so you can go pick up women. Anyway, How are you and Abby , having any luck?
Derek: No, I’ve tried a lot believe me, but she’s still vundrenble, I think she still misses Summer, but it kinda seems like everyone’s lives got worse when Summer died.
Me: Did yours?
Derek: Well… not directly because of Summer, because I lost my brother, but it got a little better because I gained my great little Niece
Me: Aww you’re admiration for Bella is lovely , you’re the best uncle ever ( When you want to be)
Derek: What was the last comment about?
Me: Nothing , anyway I can’t think of anymore questions for you so that’s over now, Bye Derek.


Love,

Book review: safe haven



Hello,
I know I do alot of reviews on Nicholas Spark's books. but I love his books! Expect more reviews on his books as i just bought 3 more:D Excited :)

So Anyway here's the cover of Safe haven:


This book is about a woman who is running away from something and along the way finds true love in the from of Alex - a widower with 2 young children. -. i know at this point i usually explain the plot in detail without giving much away but to be honest i don't want to ruin it for anyone who's going to read it, because if i had known anymore than this i wouldn't have enjoyed this book as much. The mystery of this book is the best part and without that it would be ruined. So I have located the blurb and will post that instead.

Blurb:
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. 


This book is so sad and touching. I love this and nicholas sparks is and always will be my favorite writer. At the moment i'm reading 'the wedding' So that review will be up as soon as i finish the book.


Love,

Character Pictures.

Hello:),
I have recently decided that I should find pictures of my 'characters' ( random models on sites that look like my interpretation of my characters) to visulise them better. I'm going to share with you the three characters I have found pictures for so far in my WIP.

Here's Summer Reid:
 I was completely in love and awe of Summer, but then due to my storyline choice, she had to bid goodbye. She's so pretty with her curly golden ringlets and bright blue eyes. God I miss writing about her. She is( i mean was :'( ) my MMC's wife who died while giving birth to their daughter Isabella.




















Here's Abby Winter:



This is Abby, I hadn't planned to make her a big thing in the story, but as she developed I really started to like her. She's based on three of my closest friends and is Summer's best friend. After Summer dies she tries to hide her pain for her friends death in order to fulfill a duty she feels to help Luke( My MMC) to raise his and Summer's daughter and to accept the death of Summer.
















More character pictures soon

Love,

Book Review: This Lullaby

Hello, I haven't read this book very quickly but I have finally finished it.

The book is called 'This Lullaby' and it is written by Sarah Dessen.
Here's the cover:

This Lullaby is about a teenage girl called Remy who has always been sceptical about love and all matters of the heart. She is sure that love doesn't exist and anyone who believes in it is only standing to get hurt. Her mother has have 4 marriages and is on the verge of her 5th - all of which have failed and left Barbara heart broken and leaving Remy to pick up the pieces-. She has just graduated high school and is going to stanford after the Summer. She sets about finding a summer boyfriend and meets Dexter at her future step father's car dealership. He instantly feels a conection between them which Remy doesn't feel and thinks he's crazy. They end up bumping into each other all over which he says is 'fate' and that they are supposed to be together. When dexter's band plays at Remy's mother's wedding they decide to start a relationship which Remy decides is only till the end of summer. through the course of the book Dexter and Remy's relationship keeps changing and Remy changes with it for the better.
This book captured my heart and made me feel for Remy and wish she would get over her relationship issues and just let Dexter into her heart. She goes on a real emotional journey as everything around her changes. She just has to change with it. Everything works out for the best in the end and i absolutly fell in love with both Remy and Dexter. Even though Dexter is completly imperfect and Remy is obsessed with perfection and control. They balence each other out and make perfection.

Love,

Book Review : Starter for ten.

It's been an awful long time since I have posted a book review and I apologize for that! My reasoning is a mix of three things ;
1. I have been inspired in writing my book ; not reading
2. LOTS OF EXAMS
3. I haven't seen any books I want to read.

Anyway I'm back now with a book review on Starter for then. A book by David Nicolas that has been made into a film ; a film that I haven't seen and don't plan to in the foreseeable future.
Here's the cover:


The book is about a boy called Brain Jackson , he starts university even though not many thought he could do it. His dad died when he was little and his mum is a bit of an alcoholic. When his father was alive they used to watch university challenge together which meant after his death , he wanted nothing more than to get onto the show himself. The first night at university Brain finds himself at a party - drunk - where he meets the most beautiful girl he's ever met - Alice - He falls for her almost instantly. He meets her again at the university challenge auditions when she gets on the team and he becomes the substitute. After one of the team members gets a disease he gets onto the team and becomes the team's 'Superstar' but will he impress the stunning Alice into dating him

This book was an hilarious perception of the university experience , Brain as a character is hilarious and abit pretentious which makes it amusing when he says stupid things or bad things happen to him. This book isn't the type of thing i reguallary read. but my boyfriend bought me it for my birthday , and he knows me so well because i love it! - Thank you baby , I love you!!

Love
