When we were told to read To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee in preparation for an assignment, I thought it was going to be an incredibly boring read, and kept putting it off. However, I ended up really enjoying it, so much so that I bought the dvd and found that really enjoyable too.

I thought it quite sad that almost no one else enjoyed it, and even more people still haven't read it, because they're too 'cool' for reading *rolls eyes*.

If you haven't read it, I would strongly advise you to do so, as it's a good read and if you're still in lower education/school, you'll most probably study it at some point.

If you're anything like me and are a fan of quotes, then this is full of them (as you can probably tell from the pictures...) and it's one of those books that you can read over and over again. If you're thinking of watching the film, I would recommend reading the book first, as like with all films based on books, there are many parts missed in the movie which help you understand the overall story better. But the movie is a lovely addition to sum up the main parts of the book, and I would highly recommend both.

I know it may seem a bit of an odd blog post, but I felt like something slightly different today, the oddball I am.

Have you read it? What do you think of it?

Time For Some New Clothes.

There's probably nothing more depressing than realising that all of your clothes no longer fit - that's a year of eating, sleeping, no exercise and illness for you!

So after wallowing in self pity and accepting that I needed bigger clothes, I finally bit the bullet and went shopping. Don't get me wrong, I normally love clothes shopping, but it's not as much fun when you're not entirely comfortable with how you look :( 

To be honest, I was actually dreading going because I was certain that nothing was going to fit, let alone look any good. But I was pleasantly surprised with what I found (albeit slightly nautical!)

River Island  - Left £15    Right £16

River Island - Left £10   Right £16

Debenhams Pj's - Top £10   Bottoms £25

M&S - Top £10   Bottoms £5

I also went into lush for some moisturiser and I was given this lovely bag instead of the usual. I felt rather special considering the lady next to me got an ordinary one ;)
