Good books... Do you Dare to Read?

Hello everybody! So I recently read a horror book called 'sleepless' written by Lou Morgan. I had never read anything like this book before, or even in the horror genre but it was really good! It's the kind of book that makes you read about 5 chapters when you were only planning on reading for a few minutes! 

This one is 'Frozen Charlotte'
A little note that it is definitely one for young adults-adults and no younger. The details and plot twists can sometimes be incredibly graphic, gory and nightmare worthy.

I don't want to spoil too much but it's about a group of friends who take a pill in an attempt to get good test results in a school where scores are deeply important. Anyway the pill has consequences that they could never have imagined and things go from creepy to crazed... The ending. Oh my goodness the ending! I don't want to spoil it but the ending is so clever.

I liked the book so much that I got another book from the same kind of group/ series( Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell) and I'll probably report back a mini review of that too! 

See you soon my little iced gems, signed Geekling. x
By the way, please ignore the fact that the text is highlighted in white! Oopsies!

A bit of a catch-up!

Well hello chums! So I thought I'd fill you in on some of the things that have changed or that I've done since I've been gone (obviously these are a selected few because I've been gone for quite a while!)...


  • I have become really interested in physchology- I don't know why I'm so fascinated with it but I've just purchased a 'physchology for dummies' book and I'm hooked.
  • Started a new blog called and-a-topcoat.blogspot.co.uk which is based around my passion for nails and nail art and nail polishes and just nails.. Nails... Nails! *Not the toolbox kind though!*
  • I've really got into photography and have took hundreds of pics which I will share in later posts
  • I have become obsessed with pizza and Nutella and *cough* Benedict Cumberbatch. I know I'm not the only one out there...
  • Had blonde ombré put in my hair, but that was a while ago. My goals for the new year are pink / purple/ blue ends but I'm saving that for the summer!
  • I love the Sims 4- I went from the Sims 2 to the Sims 4 and it took me a while to get to grips with it all but now I'm kind of addicted. The graphics are just.. Whoah!
  • Became hooked with Broadchurch- the new series is amazing.
  • Got one of my dream cameras! A fujifilm instax 8 mini in pastel pink. I have wanted a Polaroid camera before they were popular and when I found out modern versions were out there I just had to put it on my wishlist. Has anyone else got one?
  • Found out that I am a soon-to-be auntie. Aaw- I'm so excitteeddd!
  • Realised that I built this blog up so much and got a fair amount of viewers to just forget about it  so here I am!
And that's just about covered most of what I want to share. How has your year been? What are you looking forward to in 2015, can't believe that it's February already! Seeya soon my lovelies, Geekling. xx


                                        

Pancake Day and My Marshmallow Addiction!

Hi! Hi! Hi!
I just want to confess something with you- I have an addiction...

To marshmallows. But isn't that the best addiction you could have? Honestly, I just bought some and they are about the size of an apple, they are basically five marshmallows in one! They are all gooey and delicious and yummy *speech turns into crazed shout* and I want to eat them all!

Also, in case you haven't already seen the pancake photo's floating around on the web- it is Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday), a time to eat all the fattening things in your house. What are your chosen toppings for today? Mine have got to be lemon and sugar (lots and lots of sugar!) but I think this year, seeing as I have grown to love Nutella, I might add some of that to them as well. I really want to try cinnamon and sugar though too after I tried some at Camden Market (my favourite place in the world) at a crepe stall and it was so yummy! Aargh- too many scrumptious choices! Anyway, I hope you have a great day and eat lots of yummy things.

See you soon readers, signed Geekling. 
...Oh and I just had to attach the photos of the marshmallows- the top gymnast/marshmallow looks so proud! x


A New Poem

Hi, well hello first proper post! So, I enjoy poetry and writing about things I am interested/passionate about and after spending a lot of time today looking at a screen it inspired me to write this short poem. The whole concept of the poem kind of contradicts what I am doing right now (typing to you guys) but just ignore that little factoid. 


What Happened to Life?

Whilst you turned on the screen
and switched on your phone
When you put in your headphones
And fell into the zone


When you tapped at the keyboard
documented your strife
or you posted your pictures
what happened to life?


When you played a stupid game
Instead of spending time with your wife
When you scrolled down and down
What happened to life?


When you ignore what’s in front of you
And don’t look around
When you capture the moment
But don’t hear the sound.


What happened to life?


So stop your music
stop typing away
stop what you’re watching
Close the game you play


Just Look around you,
stop
for a moment and say
‘What happened to life,
whilst I’ve been away?’

Today's snap is my cute little dog in a winter hat. Naaw!

Whoah!

Hello everyone... Gosh it has been about a year since I have been on this blog! Whoah- it has brought back memories, don't want to sound emotional or anything! Anyway guys- if anyone is reading this, I just thought I'd let you know I really want to start this blog again! As you can probably tell by the new design and all the deleted posts! I have also just started a whole other blog, if you looked at it or commented on a post I would appreciate it so much. It's called and-a-topcoat and as you can guess is about nails but I do chat and tell you a bit about what is happening in my life! 

Anyway, you'll be hearing from me soon! Love you guys, please have a peek at my new blog. Signed, Geekling. xx

P.s sorry to all the old followers who have just got this notification e-mail that I have posted a new post and they are like 'When did I follow this blog?' sorry! XD 

P.p.s I also might post a bit of my photography on the end of each post, just to brighten up each post! I chose this one because it is Valentine's day- not really celebrating it though!
