Bonjour! So I just realised that I haven't done a blog post in ages and I just felt the need to do one for some reason. I know people probably won't care but I just feel like I should write something! I have a few ideas of things to blog about but they may need a bit more time to develop into a good enough post, so I'm just going to do a little Christmas tag now. I know these are usually done on YouTube videos but I just think it's a nice thing to have on my blog since Christmas was two days ago and I need something to blog about. I'm taking all these questions from Zoella280390's Christmas Tag video. So lets get started!
1. When do you start getting excited about Christmas? For the past few years I don't get as excited for Christmas as I use to, but I start getting sort of excited around the second week of December.
2. Do you still have advent calendars? I do indeed, this year I had a Simpsons one.
3. What are your favourite Christmas films? I love Elf, Home Alone and The Santa Clause.
4. Do you have any funny Christmas memories? Not that I can think of.
5. Talk us through your typical Christmas day? Wake up at 8, open presents, watch a movie. Get dressed and ready. Eat, relax, eat, sleep, eat. Watch TV Christmas specials, eat, bed!
6. What do you eat for Christmas dinner? Turkey and ham, stuffing, pigs in blanket, veg, roast potatoes, more that I can't think of, and then repeat!
7. Do you have any Christmas traditions? I don't think so.
8. Which are your favourite Christmas songs? Fairytale of New York and Christmas Time.
9. What is the best Christmas present you ever received? This year I got a signed You Me at Six - Live in Wembley CD which is amazing, but one year I got Heelys which I still have and can still use!
10. Real or fake Christmas tree? Fake! I don't see the point in buying a real one every year, you can save money and hoovering if you just use a fake one.
Hopefully that was interesting to some people and I hope everyone had a good Christmas. And I'd like to say thanks to those people who say they enjoy my blog posts, whether they say it to me in school, comment on my Facebook or even just like a statues. It means a lot to me to know that people read my blog! I'll, hopefully, have some proper blog posts up soon. Thanks for reading :)

Teen Wolf
Hi there. So I finally got around to watching the last two episodes of Teen Wolf season two and it was amazing! I've loved Teen Wolf from when it first came out last year but I just never got around to watching the final two episodes but I'm so glad that I did.
For those who don't know, Teen Wolf is about a teenage boy, Scott, who gets turned into a werewolf and there's a new girl in school that he falls in love with which sounds really boring but it's actually so good. In the first season we don't know who bit Scott, turning him into a werewolf and he joins forces with another werewolf, Derek, to find out who turned him because the Alpha who did is very bad. I much preferred the second season as it's much more thrilling. Loads of things happen and it's find of hard to explain and I really don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it but I will just say there is much more action and surprises in the second season.
As for characters, they're all brilliant and they're all extremely good looking. From watching both seasons I will talk about who I like and don't like but you obviously need to watch them to know who I'm talking about. Also, some of the characters I'll talk about aren't in the first season, so if you're watching it and are thinking ''who is she on about?'' you'll have to watch both seasons.
I'm going to start off by saying my favourite werewolf isn't Scott or Derek, it's Isaac who is only introduced in the second season, I think. I don't know what it is about him that I like, he just seems really innocent and his life before werewolf-hood just makes you want to hug him. It seems like he just wants to do the right thing and he's very handsome as well. I also love Stiles, but he's not a werewolf. He's just the perfect best friend. He'll do anything to help Scott and he's so funny. He comes out with the greatest things, funny and sweet.
The next thing may shock some people who've watched it but after the second season, I hate Allison so much. I do admit, I did love her in the first season and in most of the second but just the end of season two made me hate her! I'm not going to say why because I don't want to ruin it but ahhhhhhhhh!!!! So much hate. Crystal Reed who plays Allison is absolutally stunning. She's so pretty and her makeup is always perfect in this, same as her hair and she dresses so nice and I love her face and stuff but I hate her character.
Anyway, I think Teen Wolf is such a great TV program and everyone should watch it, whether you watch it for the thrill, the amazing clothes, the cute teen love stuff or just the beautiful actors. It's a show I highly recommend to everyone and I hope you enjoy it if you do start watching it. Also, I know I didn't really talk about the relationships and young love and all that stuff but that's not really what I watch it for but if you're into dramatic teenage relationships then this is the show for you. Thanks for reading :)

Angela's Ashes
Hi there. The last post I wrote was a movie review and in this post I'm going to do something a bit different. I don't think I've ever seen a book review on a blog and I just finished reading Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt and I really enjoyed it and thought I'd review it, as you do.
I'm not a huge reader as I find it really hard to find books that I really like but in my school we get a book list in Transition Year. I think the book list is a great idea, we are given a few pages of books and authors and we have to read at least two fiction and one non-fiction books from the list and then we have to review them. The teachers in my school pick the books and they do pick a good range. I quite like books that have a historical background but aren't exactly history books, if that makes sense. Angela's Ashes is about Frank McCourt's childhood and how he grew up in terrible poverty in Co. Limerick.
The book starts by saying how McCourt's family first lived in America and then moved to Ireland to try to get away from the poverty they were living in to only find themselves in worse conditions. The beginning of the book is very sad but once you get past that, the book is very interesting. It really shows you how people lived in these desperate times and how they were lucky if they got a slice of bread for dinner. The book describes how McCourt grew up, it starts from before he was born to when he's 20. When he's describing his childhood he really shows how a child's mind works and develops which is also very interesting.
Overall, I think the book is great and I recommend it, mainly to teenagers as it really describes stuff that we don't learn in history class. It's so interesting and it keeps you wanting to read on. If you're in Transition Year and you don't know what books to choose from the book list you should defiantly check this book out. Thanks for reading :)
