I was so excited when I saw this on Goodreads. I think a Harry Potter prequel focusing on the adventures of the previous generation when they were at Hogwarts would be amazeballs. Sadly, that's not what this is. This is a brief scene that could take place if such a prequel were to exist. It follows James and Sirius as they speed around on their magical motorbike and taunt Muggle police. I

Mag Monday: Zac Efron in BlackBook Oct/Nov 2012
Posted on 19:10 by Unknown
Zac Efron with cute baby animals? I gotta get my hands on this magazine.
"Why yes, that is a bunny in my pocket."
"Did someone say fox? Oh, I brought an animal along too."
I have nothing remotely clever to say about this. It's too cute for words.
I will not say anything dirty. Definitely nothing about trouser snakes. Ahem.

Review: Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Posted on 22:57 by Unknown
This was the creepiest book I've ever read in my life.
I was expecting it to be moderately creepy. I've seen the American movie adaptation, Let Me In, and it had a couple of spooky moments but overall it didn't really make me jump. I liked the friendship that blossomed between a lonely, isolated boy and the vampire girl that had moved in next door. Aside from, you know, the bleeding from every

Bookish (And Other Awesome) Links: The BSC, Mr Darcy and Trolls
Posted on 06:44 by Unknown
Awful Library Books: the place where terrible books go to live.
These videos about the history of certain words, told in animation using paper cuttings, are awesome.
Only one of these facts about The Baby-Sitters Club blew my mind (Kirsten Dunst was a cover model for Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls!), but it's still a fun list.
Three words: Darcy paper doll. Go now. Lizzie is there too.

Bookish Buys: Wedding Table Numbers and Custom Book Art
Posted on 00:47 by Unknown
Before my wedding, I got lost in the world of wedding blogs and every
now and then I'd surface with one (thousand) things I wanted to do for
my own wedding. One of those things was table numbers made from books.
The (now) Husband took one look at the picture I had as inspiration and
said, "I can do that". I was skeptical, but surrendered a book I knew I
wouldn't reread with the proviso

Mag Monday: Flaunt Magazine
Posted on 05:59 by Unknown
Three reasons I want need to get my hands on the new issue of Flaunt magazine:
1. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on the cover and in a gorgeous spread. Every day he inches closer to Ryan Gosling crush status (helped along by things like this).
2. Kit Harington, swooooooooooooooooooon.
3. Rashida Jones looking smokin' and talking about intellectual sexuality, whatever that is.

Review: Stuart: A Life Backwards By Alexander Masters
Posted on 03:24 by Unknown
I don't even know how to begin reviewing Stuart: A life Backwards. Well, I guess I should start at the beginning - which, of course, is actually the end of Stuart's story. Don't worry, it's not as confusing as it sounds. The book opens with Stuart Shorter, an "ex-homeless, ex-junkie psychopath", telling the author of his biography, Alexander Masters, that it's "bollocks boring". Alexander,

Bookish (And Other Awesome) Links: Finnick, Bookshelves and Literary Pin-Ups
Posted on 23:46 by Unknown
Sam Claflin is the perfect Finnick. I will not hear any detractors. He is Finnick. The end.
PS. Sorry, I didn't mean that. You can detract if you want. But that is pretty much exactly how I pictured Finnick so to me, he is perfect. Jena Malone, on the other hand, is nothing like how I pictured Johanna.
PPS. While we're on the subject of The Hunger Games, this supercut of Jennifer Lawrence

Mag Monday: Who, September 24
Posted on 04:10 by Unknown
I was pretty excited to pick up this issue of Who because it features two of my favourite things - a Best & Worst Dressed special and a celebrity wedding.
The spread of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold's wedding (after less than a year together!) was fun, with lots of description from "sources" and some shots of the estate where they wed. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, there are

Review: Fury by Shirley Marr
Posted on 21:31 by Unknown
"My name is Eliza Boans and I am a murderer."
How is that for a brilliant opening line? I was instantly hooked. I love a mystery, and when a book opens with the protagonist in a police station confessing to murder, you know you're in for a good one. Who was murdered and why - and whether Eliza actually did it - is slowly divulged through flashbacks, as Eliza tells her story to an

Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR List
Posted on 03:09 by Unknown
I can't believe it's spring already! It's exciting - that feeling is in the air that things are improving (even if it's just the weather) - but at the same time it's terrifying. The year is going crazy-quick. It feels like I just wrote my winter TBR list. Embarrassingly, I didn't finish a single book on that list. I started one (The Jelly Bean Crisis by Jolene Stockman) but I haven't finished
