Favourite books - recently


I know I haven't written in a longggg time and I'm super sorry for that, I've been busy....reading and working.

I've been buying a lot more books lately and I have come to the realisation that ALL of John Green books are incredible, every single one of them, even the books which he writes with other authors.

I have found lately that some of my books have 2 or 3 authors in the same book, one book had three winter love romances in one book written by each author, story written by another finished, I thought this new concept was amazing and I quite enjoyed it!
That book was called 'let it snow' it was really good and I recommend it.


Another favourite of mine was paper towns by John Green, this is honestly one of the greatest books I have ever read in my life, I loved it! I also loved 

Dash & Lily's book of dares - I know it may sounds strange BUT it is the best idea for a book ever!!! Below is what is says on the back of the book:

I've left some clues for you. If you want, turn the page. If you don't, put the book back on the shelf, please.

At the urge of her lucky in love brother, sixteen year old Lily has left a red notebook full of dates on her favourite bookshop shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept.
Curious, snarky Dash isn't one to back down from a challenge - and the. Book of Dares is the perfect thing to keep him occupied this Christmas.
As they send each other a snowbound scavenger hunt across manhattan, they're falling for each other on paper. But finding out if their real selves share their on page chemistry could be there biggest dare yet.

It is written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan and it looks like this --------

It was honestly my favourite book and I mean...who wouldn't want to be involved in a scavenger hunt around Manhattan, it is something dream -
able!

Book case - shelf 📚

So, today I finished my book case and I could not be any more happier! It looks so good & only cost me $30 dollars to make!! 
It isn't hard to make a book case, you just have to have the correct tools and know what you want to make, with an idea in mind it only took me two weeks to find the items I needed & it all worked out perfectly :)

The planks of pine wood cost only $3 at Masters, I got 4 which was $12, next I bought the side railings, at Masters they have a large variety of different railings and long pieces of thin wood, the one I got was pine & I got 2 of them which cost $12 as they we're around $6 each!!
I aleasdy had paint lying around the garage which was useful. 
My dad had all the tools I needed which was a saw, a drill & we bought a pack of 20 screws from Mastes for $3.40 each but because we were doing two screws on each side per shelf, we bought two packets which equals to $6.80, all together this project cost me around $30 dollars but the great thing about it is you can make it your own :) 

Below is the outcome -
It will eventually have a canvas hanging just above it with a map of the world on it which I drew, I am in the process of finishing that but will keep you all updated.


Hope you like my project and I really hope this gives you courage to make your own ones day 😘 xo
