Books To Read

Hello!



I love to read. It's one of my favourite things to do in my free time. I can spend hours reading and if the book is really interesting, I can finish it very fast. In this post, I am going to tell you about some of my favourite books and ones I have read recently.

L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad - Written by television personality, fashion designer and author Lauren Conrad, this story is about teenagers Jane Roberts and her best friend Scarlett who are approached by a TV producer to star in his new reality show. They excitedly except the offer and Jane becomes very famous and a hot star but soon discovers the ups and downs of fame.

 


The Intern by Gabrielle Tozer - Josie Browning dreams of having a perfect academic record, an amazing career in Journalism and for her crush to notice her but she has one problem, she always embarrasses herself, her little sister  and her best friend. She soon gets lucky when she lands an internship at a magazine. Josie wants the columnist job on offer at the magazine but quickly learns it won't be easy. This internship, which involves smaller tasks such as photocopying and fetching coffee and big tasks such as interviewing celebrities and getting by-lines, is one Josie will never forget.



Choosing Hope by Kaitlin Roig-Debellis - On 14 December 2012, a 20-year-old man shot and killed 20 first-grade children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Kaitlin Roig-Debellis, who was a first-grade teacher there, saved her entire class of fifteen children, aged six and seven by piling them into a tiny bathroom inside her classroom which was very close to where the brutal massacre was taking place. She gives a firsthand account of what happened on that tragic day. This is a story of courage, heroism, faith and resilience.

 


Seriously ... I'm Kidding by Ellen DeGeneres - Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres gives very useful advice about various aspects of life in her humorous way. She talks about being grateful for your family, taking care of your health, meditation, social skills and things she has learnt throughout her career.



Courage to Soar by Simone Biles - Simone Biles is the most decorated American gymnast, having won a combined total of nineteen Olympic and World Championship medals. She was part of the gold medal-winning team, the "Final Five", at the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro. In this book, Simone talks about her life from being in foster care and being adopted by her grandparents to visiting a gym for a daycare field trip and going to the Olympics. It's a very inspirational story.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
