Birthday Post ☺

I have reached adulthood! I can't believe I am 18- as nice as it is, I'm not about this responsibility... I want to be a child again.

So instead I thought I'd write a bit about the books I did read as well as those I planned to read: Books from the list (which isn't many) The Girl On The Train - I decided to read this after seeing lots of amazing reviews of it on Amazon. When I started reading it, I was quite disappointed. The plot was confusing, it wasn't interesting and I didn't feel sympathy for the characters (even the alcoholic who's partner left her). However, I persevered with it because thousands on people can't have given 5 star reviews if it wasn't good, and I'm happy I did because it got SO much better. Although I probably wouldn't r
