This was clearly before the next 7 books came out!

review: The Walled City 2015-03-25T00:00:00+00:00 2015-03-25T00:00:00+00:00 http://ImogensTypewriter.booklikes.com/post/1143574/the-walled-city ImogensTypewriter http://ImogensTypewriter.booklikes.com A issue I've seen a few people have with this book is the frequent use of metaphors, but I picked this up right after reading 150 pages of The Handmaid's Tale and in comparison, this book does metaphors much more smoothly. It feels polished and doesn't jar the reading. In fact, this is one of the first books in a while where it felt more like I was watching the story, rather than reading it.

Beauty
The beauty section is one of the parts I was most excited for, I don't know quite what I expected but I definitely didn't expect the basic information there was, nothing you couldn't find in a quick google. If you're hoping for comprehensive beauty tips, I'd look into the Bobbi Brown make up books- they're great. If you're a beginner than this is a good place to start.

Hair
Pretty short section at 20 pages and again nothing new. You get some hairstyles, some DIY masks and some colouring tips. I did my usual sticky note way of reading (I swear my post on this will be up soon) and this section had none.

Fashion
The fashion section was interesting, mainly because it's not something I know a lot about like the beauty and hair section. It's made me rethink my packed wardrobe and want to do a bit of a revamp once I have some extra cash. I really liked that it wasn't just OOTDs and had actual recommendations of how to put outfits together. The tips are simple but classic and something I think anyone could do with being reminded of.

Travel
I love travel, I love reading peoples experiences, favourite places, travel tips, everything. I just wish this section was longer! At a meagre 18 pages, it was over as quickly as it began. There's a packing page, a page on travelling in style (nothing is going to make me give up travelling in sweatpants), a couple of pages on in flight beauty and a couple of pages on jet lag. I just wanted more.

Health and Fitness
I really don't have much to say on this section. Health and Fitness is so personal from person to person I think it's a tricky subject to cover. I will say I think the recipes were unnecessary for anyone with Pinterest but the Fitness Shortcuts were interesting. If you're a relatively healthy person who wants to start exercising then go for it.

Life, Love, Dreams and everything in between
This! This was what I wanted and hoped for. Tips on self-confidence, body image, positive thinking and life goals. All were subjects dealt with class and honest to god helpfulness. I especially loved the section on admiring achievements, not criticising other women based on looks. As someone who went to an all-girls school, this was a mindset I really had to work on as I grew up because we're all so conditioned to be horrible to other women. I hope the people reading this book really take it to heart.

YouTube and Blogging
As a blogger, I was excited for this section but it was definitely aimed more at YouTubers which I understand. Fleur is primarily a YouTuber. If I ever start a YouTube channel, I'll probably refer back to this.

Overall, I didn't hate this book but I also didn't love it. I think the artwork and design was spot on and what was there, was good. It had some really great bits that just needed expanding- especially for the asking price of £14.99! Even for the £7.49 price on Amazon. I understand that as a content creator, it's sometimes hard to come up with things that are fresh and new, and that's why I think the book could've done with more about Fleur. My favourite of these types of books is actually Jennifer Farley's (Jwoww from Jersey Shore) as so much of her personality and culture is in it. I would've loved that from this book.

review: The Wrath of Mulgarath 2015-03-20T00:00:00+00:00 2015-03-20T00:00:00+00:00 http://ImogensTypewriter.booklikes.com/post/1143597/the-wrath-of-mulgarath ImogensTypewriter http://ImogensTypewriter.booklikes.com The biggest complaint I saw on the Goodreads reviews for this series was that the books were so short, but these are books aimed at kids. And the authors know their audience. Averaging at just over 100 pages a book, these are the perfect length for the age group and I'll be keeping my copies around in the hope of sharing these stories with future children.
The whole series has beautiful illustrations as well that I just want to frame and put on my walls, they really add something to the books and are great for the imagination.

Mallory, who is one of my favourite female fictional characters, she makes me want to start fencing, comes to the defence of her brothers despite them not getting along much. The family dynamic of siblings is spot on, as is the story.

This book came in my February Loot Crate and I was super excited to read it, unfortunately reality wasn't as good as the hype or my expectations.
Now I was born in the nineties, so my knowledge of the eighties is next to nothing. In fact, I really can't think of anything I watch/read/listen to that comes from the eighties. The references this book made kind of flew over my head rather than making my nostalgic, which I think is the main charm of. I got very excited at the one Firefly reference, but that was really it, so I can only imagine how people who knew the eighties would feel. For me, the book wasn't strong enough to carry itself without that.
I'm constantly told to show, not tell in my writing, and I think that's the main problem I had with this book. I felt like I was being told everything. ]]>
