review: fangirl by rainbow rowell

Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they’re off to university and Wren’s decided she doesn’t want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It’s not so easy for Cath. She’s horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she’s experienced in real life. Without Wren Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She’s got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words …And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone. Now Cath has to decide whether she’s ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she’s realizing that there’s more to learn about love than she ever thought possible …

I know this book written by Rainbow Rowell is already on the market for a while but because it's so popular and everybody thinks it's amazing, I decided to still make a review about it. I must say for myself that I also enjoyed it myself and think it's a great book.

I'm going to start with something I liked a little less. Before I read the book, I heard there were going to be small extracts from the Simon Snow books. It made me excited and I wanted to know how the writer was going to make them & if it was relatable to the Harry potter books. Maybe even if it was relatable to the characters of the books itself. But it wasn't. I literally had to force myself to reading those extracts. Also I didn't really feel a strong connection between the storyline of the book itself and the fanfic fragments. Personally I could understand why her fan fiction was written that way, but for me there was no reflection of her real life in it and visa versa.

But besides those little details I enjoyed ready this book. Rainbow Rowell produced a beautiful character who is a reliable person towards real life fangirls and her writing style is amazing in my opinion. It isn't too difficult nor is it too simple for the average person. Also the time you need to read it isn't long at all if you are a person who likes to read. I personally could feel connected with cath and some parts even made me crack up.

Overall I think it's a good book with beautiful characters and an original plot. Ideal if you are a fangirl or if you want to know about a fangirls life and the things about fanfiction

Midnight memories

First of all sorry that it has been such a long time since my last blogpost. I'm not going to give hundred excuses for that. I'm not that kind of person.

But now back to the topic. The new music video of one direction. Thousands, no millions of teenage girls and maybe even their parents have been waiting for this. And now it's finally here 

the video is that  they’re stuck at some stupid house party, watching some geeks make out and dance around…that is, until the DJ slaps a hot 1D vinyl on the turntable and then it’s off to the kebab shop! There they make a total mess, believe me. After that they leave the kebab shop and do some crazy things outside. After that A pack of old woman race by on their old lady carts, one of them naturally doing tongue in Harry’s direction, and before you know it, 1D are racing around the streets with the grannies while fireworks shoot all over the place. Then they steal a police boat and they are on the themes. Last but not least, they climb on a bridge and stand there on a very high place.

I don't know what you guys think about it but i like it. It looks more mature and more my type of music videos. Now i can start counting of till their tour

Little mix salute

4 separate girls who auditioned for the x-factor. One girlband who won in 2011. Little Mix. After two years of being a girlfriend they now bring out their second album named salute. An album full of girlpower With the first song,salute, you can defently hear a more mature and R&B sound. Sometimes they even make you feel like you're in the late 90's. Followed by the hit Move the album makes a good start. I can't say there are songs who doesn't sound right our aren't made for the girls. It sounds like they really thought about the songs and they aren't just written for them. Luckily for the fans from the first album it isn't all catchy, R&B style. There are enough songs with a beautiful harmony from the girls who sing perfectly acapella. Good examples are Little me, Towers and These four walls. They are defently more personal songs who can sometimes even give you goosebumps. Especially Jesy's high note in Towers. They are compared a lot with the spice girls and i can understand it but little mix still has their own original sound. An album to remember if you have to believe me.
