The Sun has returned for her Revenge in September. That it is fully meant to be Autumn now but we have having Summer weather. It is usually warm at the start of September, just to spite school children and teachers, but it carried on a bit more.
Obviously, the Sun does stick around for winter and the colder months so she can blind you as you drive on icy roads. It's the team-up fight you don't want to have as you're driving.
I am too tired to remember my point.

Book Review: The Twice-Lived Summer of Bluebell Jones by Susie Day
Dye your hair. Dye Everything.
On her thirteenth
birthday, Blue makes a desperate wish. To be transformed into a cool,
confident teenager. Enter Red, appearing from nowhere like a wacky fairy
godmother. She's only visible to Blue- in fact, she IS Blue, but a
year older. With Red by her side to guide her, Blue can avoid all the
gruesome embarrassments! But her future self causes a heap of crazy
trouble - and there are dark secrets she's not telling...
The first full novel I have read by Susie Day. I reviewed one of her short stories which really sold me on her as a writer.
The whole of this novel is the main character to change herself and trying to make friends with "cool" people of where she is on holiday; making her a pretty realistic thirteen year old. The supporting characters are nice.
The twist was done well. It's hinted frequently through the book but not overly obvious. The ending felt a bit rushed and really let this book down. I didn't fully buy it and there is main thing that's kinda spoilerly. Here's a spoiler (highlight to see): the character just straight gives up, doesn't try to get out the situation at all.
Overall, I give this book 4 out of five stars. I really enjoy reading this book, but the ending knocked a lot of points for me. It's on the younger side of YA. (Or older middle-grade? Teen would be so easier to use) Therefore short, which was nice read to have during the busyness of uni. Though with an important message for someone whose 13 or whatever age to hear.

Book Review: Roomies by Sara Zarr & Tara Altebrando
My college roommate is hopefully going to be a skeleton.
It's time to meet your new roomie.
When East Coast native Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment, she shoots off an e-mail to coordinate the basics: television, microwave, mini-fridge. That first note to San Franciscan Lauren sparks a series of e-mails that alters the landscape of each girl's summer -- and raises questions about how two girls who are so different will ever share a dorm room.
As the countdown to college begins, life at home becomes increasingly complex. With family relationships and childhood friendships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives . . . and each other. Even though they've never met.
This is the second book by Sara Zarr book I have read and reviewed (here's the video review How to Save a Life). The first by Tara Altebrando and I have no idea who wrote what. This book is in the point of view of the two roommates to be. They going to college (or uni as I would call it) and have been assigned the same room so they start emailing each other.
The both characters were likable, realistic and their issues were nice contrast against each other.
In a lot of ways, this is a typical YA contemporary : Romance, personal struggles and family issues. All that growing up stuff and preparing to live without your family in the same building. But it was good and it was interesting to read about two characters that were in the same situation as me, going to uni after the summer.
The plot was good, was little over top at the end but was understandable and realistic situation.
The novel is told in first person, changing between each girl every chapter, which really works. The only thing is I don't like that its starts and ends with the same girl. I can get why they would do that but I like to be equal. We also have their emails to each other and placement in the chapter could be interesting.
Overall, I gave this 4/5 stars for someone else's snoring. It was nice little book and would recommend anyone who embarking on the journey to Uni/college.
I sent this book for review by way of BookBrigdr. It's published by Hodder & Stoughton.

Book Review: Lobsters (also now know as A Totally Awkward Love Story) by Tom Ellen & Lucy Ivison
Don't buy books with Lobsters on them unless they have a daisy in their claw and
Sam and Hannah only have the holidays to find 'The One'. Their lobster. But instead of being epic, their summer is looking awkward. They must navigate social misunderstandings, the plotting of well-meaning friends, and their own fears of being virgins for ever to find happiness. But fate is at work to bring them together. And in the end, it all boils down to love.
I saw this book on Netgalley and didn't click on it because it looked like a American book and contemporary American romances is not something I'm not interest in, well because it everywhere. Of course going off the cover, wellies are not very American so I should have known that it wasn't set in the states.
I have also met these authors at the Edinburgh Book Festival (which is experience to be found here).
This is a duo perspective with Ellen writing the point of view of the boy character Sam and Ivison writing the point of view of Hannah. The story follows both them and their friends' summer. They live near one another but don't know each other at the start of the novel. They of course bump into each in comical ways through out the summer and hilarity insure.
I really enjoyed this book as its funny and the characters are realistic. They are teenagers and do dumb things like teenagers do. I love finding realistic teens in YA (which is mainly why I don't read contemporary American romances).
They take the character to fun places such as music festival which reminded me fond memories of the time I went to TTIP the summer I left school.I also just want to say that there is a ton of Harry Potter references in this book.
Overall, I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars for names on doors. I really loved this book and I'm so glad that Edinburgh International Book Festival made me pick this masterpiece of YA contemporary (I'm not totally laughing from writing that last bit. I'm thinking of scene from the novel). I would totally recommend you read this book on bus on way and back to a Book Festival.

The Last E-Fan
It is hot here, annoyingly so. I'm sick of it. I spent most of today in bed refusing to move in the heat. It was actually cooler today than has been, so my room was hot but not too hot I had to flee it when I had the fan on.
My parents brought the last electric fan that was in CD yesterday, it's tiny so I remain to have the largest fan in the house which it probably a small-medium size one. For the record, I do not include giant industral size fans in this analyze if I did then, my fan would be small.
I went to that Film Club meeting thing. I'm playing a doctor, never be one but I can kid on to be one. We going over the script on this week and then next we meant to film for 4 days. I don't know what else is going to go down. Something about a witch and evil dolls. Disappointingly, it is meant to be a sequel to the horror film they did last year. We see how it goes.
I've been walking today, I tried to run but my body just doesn't like running so I walked for over an hour which my dog loved. I'm going to do it almost everyday, along with the my trampolining. I still want to go back the 25 minutes every day, but it so impractical when you have to go someway on a long haul and I don't know what my routine is going to be like once I start college. Still no definite word on what happening there.
See ya all next week, where things end when I get bored.

Sun Hiding
I have sun burnt shoulders. I'm of coursed displeased about this. I washed "my" car this week and was how my shoulders got burned. It also been too hot for my likely this week. I'd be quite happy without a supposed summer. Heat and sun do not spell fun even sun does rhyme with fun.
I've been spending most of my time trying to think of video ideas. Not always a successfully progess. I have 9 days left for VEDJ and I have two ideas left for it. One I don't want to for a while as it a haul and I've already uploaded three hauls this past week so I would like some time between those ones. I have idea but that involves me sitting down to write it. Two other videos are going to be Monday Missions so that leaves me with five video ideas to come up with. If all else fails I could do tags and there is potentially another video I could do. Hell, maybe I'll even do a draw my life.
Today is meant to be the longest day of the year but I'm sure the sun went down later yesterday than it did today. I know these things because I was on my trampoline at 11pm on both these days.
On the update of my bedroom, I now again have a chair to sit on rather a place where serveral things have been dumped on. Still haven't moved those boxes (I blame the heat and my fans lack of power). I found myself sorting my books, not sure why as I will need to sort them again once I get to the book rearranging part of my master plan. Basically, it just means I don't have bags of books/boxes everywhere.
I've been getting excited about the Edinburgh Book festival as I'm definitely going to go this year. There is four days I want to check out; none of which take place one after another. I'm thinking of just getting the bus up and down for it. We're see.
I worked that I should be able to catch up on my reviews before college starts which would be great as it kinda ridiculous that I'm this behind and be great to have a decent stats on Netgalley. I've actually read next three books I need to review so hopefully there will be on time.
That's all for this week, I see ya all next time. I'm off to write reviews and sleep.

Freedom to be Busy with things of my choising (Summer plans)
I'm rather tired at the moment, I went into Dumf (Home of Escaping) on the purpose of getting food out of Marks & Spencer to last me while my parents away next week. Very excitingly my sister and I will have the house to ourselves for a full week and since neither of us know how to drive we will basically won't be able to leave the house.
I also got a dress that's slightly too big and went to the Indian which was good. I'm almost tempted to end this post here instead of writing my tended stuff such as being finally done with college (at least for the summer) and now I can do all that stuff I've been despeaate to do but I have been putting off due to my college and feeling terrible. First plans are to tidy my room, reorganise my clothes and then my books. My room always needs tidying, I currently have limited access to my clothes and my bookcase have been buging for months due to read series not being together and them generally lukering about.
I'm also planning to catch up with my comic books as well as put a dent in my owned to be read list and do some creative stuff. Just basically all the stuff I've been wanting to do but have had to put off in favour of college.
I also have some big video plans that I'll discuss on my vlog/booktube channel tomorrow. I've recenty brought a memory card that allows me to film for over 160 minutes on it which is awesome and bought a tripod this week. A big one thats taller than me, unlike the tiny one my mum brought off ebay.
Its not the fact it was off ebay that makes it bad, it just that literally too small have any practical use in filming videos. However, I think it makes a good stress relief toy so it might be good for editing.
With that note I leave you for bed where I'll have sweet dreams of book ideas.

Thoughts of Summer and current Reading Slump
Without Doctor Who, Saturday has turned into just another day. If I was still at school then it wouldn't be so. Instead of just college which I unsuccessfully managed to get out of bed for. Speaking of depressing places of education, I rather looking forward to summer break. Expect this year I won't actually have a summer break because I'm not going to any form of education after summer.
I'm definitely not going to college next year as this course decision was mistake. Lesson don't do something just because it means you don't have to change location. Especially, if you've already had problems with similar subjects. Damn moodborads.
The main reason I want a summer break is that I want to reorganise my room: my bookshelves, my clothes location, my life.
I think the mess of my room as I keep thinking about how I wish I could just take care of it and still remains to be in this state no matter how many times I say I'll tidy it part of it tomorrow when I have time. I know I will eventually actually do it one of these "tomorrow"s but till then I procrastinate about whilst thinking. I know I'm actually more likely to do during a no set schedule time as I'll be able to do it in the middle of the night with the knowledge I can sleep the day away. The pain of being a night owl in world ran by people that like the sun.
I'm still having a hard time actually reading, I think might be that I'm not spending as much time on buses which I've got in the habit of doing most of my reading. I mean I was reading three books a week before I started college. Maybe it because I'm just not able to wander my books as easily anymore or I've just got to fond of lying in my bed whist pondering how "Remus Lupin and Sirius Black first started to have sexual encounters with each other" and many other such important matters.
I did actually only start reading on Thursday, the day that usually means no more college for that week. I suppose on Monday I randomly grabbed 'Cinder' by Marissa Meyer, a book I wasn't really in the mood for reading. I had thoughts of reading 'Warm Bodies' by Isaac Marion but I thought I was sick of end of the world/society stuff. Maybe I am just in the mood for Zombies and Horror *Insert evil laughter here*.
Even if I am in a proper slump I'll just let myself develop out and reread Horowitz Horror, a blast from my once hopeful teens. I'm also going to start posting reviews every Wednesday (If you read my post from the start, you know I've been talking about doing some sort of post on Wednesdays for a while).
Happy First Day of Summer, may the rain be kind to you this year.

Camp NaNoWriMO FINAL DAY (Butlins Damn you)
 |
| Ticket Winnings:Its for my little brother |
Today is the last Day of Camp NaNoWriMo, isn't it so sad? Especially if you still haven't finish your novel and have over two thousand words to go.
As I said I was on holiday last week, which was "FUN". Okay, it wasn't that bad, I had all right time and won all this cool stuff (That Youtube won't let me share with you) from the arcade . I'm not sure if I have that much to say about the holiday, it wasn't one of those full of adventure and experiences. I did get tipsy for the first time and realise that alcohol is boring. No interest in it at all. Though, I'm sure my siblings will have something to say about that.

| This was murder to get(from a2p machine) |

Other thing that happen to me this week is, that I officially left school yesterday. Really it was me signing out, because you need to or you're officially remain in High School forever which is a lot bullshit. I think they do it to mess with us.
I've actually been avoiding doing it for some time, after 5th June since it just sound so awkward and it really was.
It be the last night I'll get to wandered around CDHS, unless I become a teacher or a parent like my mum, Who tag along to my signing fun, which involved going to each of my teacher's this year and getting them to sign a bit of paper saying that I currently haven't stole, er borrowed anything without returning it. Jokes on them, I still have a textbook which I have no intentions of returning and the teacher already signed my form *evil laugh insert here*.
I chit chatted with most of my teachers when I saw them, I actually was part of a one sided conversation with my maths teacher from SG. Who was obsessed with the notion of taking over the world as being a career choice and money being the main motive. I should have told him I was going to be studying an art subject at college and I don't see much money in my near future.
All my teachers, except for my art teacher who signed the form and I just left straight after, have been left with the impression that I'm going to become a writer. This mostly due my mum saying I'm going to be a "Famous Author" to my Maths and Biology teacher. My English teacher praised my writing and asked if I had ever tried/thought about to get any my stories published, I say no since I had nothing in my opinion that is publishable yet. She said my writing was good (though to my knowledge she only read my one or two of my stories) and should try to get published. She said to tell her/the school if I ever I do.
Oh, I already I have that fantasy of going back to shove my achievement in the supports' faces. I would just like say this comes from a small, bitter place inside me who feels confident about my writing. Unlike the rest of me who finds fault in most of it. Though seriously, if I ever did get published, I would offer the school a copy of my book for the library. It such a small town, that if/when I get a book with my name it on a shelve it would probably spread like fire. Maybe not, but I don't think it be some secret.
Maybe I'll be the only notable student on the school Wikipedia someday, LOL. Also To celebrate leaving school officially, I bought Playdough (well, my mum actually paid for it). Yeah, I got a toy for toddlers. Its the artist in me that wanted it.
Well that all for this week, I'm going to T-in-The-Park next week for the first time (Exciting and scary), so it be another pre-written post next week. Not sure yet what it'll be about. I know Dinosaurs.
I'm off to jump in the dark now, thanks for reading.

Dreams are my friends (But not Fate's)
Hi losers, due to parking and writing for Camp NaNoWriMo, Oh and sleeping, did a lot of random sleeping today: been too busy to write my blog (or any writing today). So based on my sleeping (three separate times did I fall asleep today), I'm choosing to share with you lot, the excepts of some of the dream scenes in my Camp novel. These are all from the point of my MC Fate (No, not that Fate). These are basically my favourites.
Dream One:
I
stare across the bridge, fear fills me, a black mass of smoke is all I can see.
It moves swiftly towards me, I want to run. I can’t. I can move, but I can’t
leave them. Who are they? I turn to my right, I can see a figure next me. I can
tell it female, but I can’t see any of the details of her face. She familiar, I
know her well. It’s a new friendship, but strong. I turn to smoke; it getting
closer. I step away from it. I feel something grasp my left hand. I instantly
look to the hand; I see two figures in front of me. They are distorted, the
smoke consuming them. Suddenly, a piercing blue light reaches from the smoke. I
realise they’re his eyes. My heart swells as I look into them. I breathe in,
the smoke finally finding me.
Dream Two (I think):
I stand in a forest unfamiliar to me, I can hear
water running. I walk towards the sound. The ground is soft and my feet slip
into the mud. They’re bare and I can feel the blown slush between my toes. I’m
suddenly at the water; it’s a small lake, it’s really only the river expanding
before narrowing again. I’m suddenly, waist deep in it. Its dark and I can’t
even see any part of myself that is immerged. I duck under it, I keeping my
eyes open. The water has become clear; the stones at the bottom of late
appeared to sparkle. My eyes are drawn to speck of gold on a rock and I reach
out for it. My hand finds it quickly. I realise it’s not a stone, it something
coated in dirt. I begin to rub at it. Abruptly, the light disappears and
darkness grips me, taking the breath away from me. It’s like a physical being
is compressing my chest. I begin to panic I can’t get away, I try to move but
can’t. All at once, I feel someone grab me, under my arms and I’m out of the
water. I realise I’m naked, I don’t care. He turns me around; I catch his blue
eyes as they fill with shock before he pulls me behind him. I look through his
shoulders as the darkness leaps from the water. Its heading towards me, but it
has to stop. Because of him.
“Leave Now,” he shouts at me. I’m filled with the
knowledge of how to. I close my eyes, turning the
darkness into blackness.
Dream I lost count:
I’m walking in a field; the yellow glass reaches up
my waist. The sky was white with a pale orange tone to it. The world seemed
overly bright. I see him in the certain of the field; he stands dark against
the light of the sky. I feel a smile spread across my face. I see one spread
across his. I walk calmly towards him, but my heart is skipping.
I reach him where he greets with open arms. I go
into them, allowing him to hold me. Both our chests are bare; his skin feels
hot against mine. We pull apart, but remain touching. His hands remain on my
waist. I looked to the warm blue of his eyes, filled with love.
I put my hand flat against his chest, feeling his
heat beat steadily. I feel an odd rumble and the area round my hand shins gold.
I stick my hand into his chest and pulled out a gold
heart. He smiles at me and leans into kiss me.

Summer Came early
Haló this fine morning, (okay it evening when I finally finished
this). Scotland has been sunny and warm. Its too damn hot and I've got
sunburn on random points on my body from yesterday which has been
reinforced by today's actions. Went to the beach today, it was actually warm enough to swim.
My exam are over, they went okay besides coming out my maths Higher paper crying and losing a mark in Bio for not being able to spell Hypothalamus. Though Maths Paper 1 objective was okay and I had a stoke of luck in Biology. Basically, I was going did Section A of 2001 paper the morning before my exam and it so happen that the SQA have been doing some recycling as question 3 appeared in my exam as question 2. It nice to know that it got promoted, though it did take 11 years to get 1 question up. I did get right the first time, anyway. No more talk of exams till August.
So summer has basically started for me and
as I've said above the weather has match that sentiment so far. I
actually slept outside yesterday because of the heat. Though, I was
still woke up today at 8am. I had woke at 7am the day before after finally getting asleep at 2.30 am. I suppose it was good for T in the Park which me and most of my sisters are going to this year. My older big sister has been few times, but it will be my other sister and my first time.Very exciting, I've actually got a busy summer this year. Going to England in three weeks time and doing Camp NaNoWriMo this June and August.
Probably got all my sun for the year, as I'm not that interested
in sun bathing and did my exploring of my farm and played in my "pool".
So lots and lots of writing this summer, with tons of books being read.
I've actually started my main book attempt of reading the Complete
stories of Sherlock Holmes by ACD. I've already finished reading Study in Scarlet and don't worry I won't feel the need to re-enact "The Finial Problem"
P.S. Hope you've enjoyed Eurovision so far and enjoy what little remains.
