💥DIY "THE GRIM" MUG 💥

Behold Potterheads and Non -Potterheads alike because Today i will be teaching you how to DIY a "Grim mug" to add to your Harry Potter room decor collection in two easy-peasy steps!

Things you will need :

1)Cello Marky ( You'll just need the black one for this)
2)A plain White Mug
3)and , A reference of "The Grim" (for better detailing, or if you have the picture in your muggle head already ,even better )

Step 1-

Taking the reference image you found off of google you're going to draw The Grim with the help of little dots 《like the one's you made in biology class 😁》i also suggest you make the outline first, so its easier to fill the insides with more dots once you're done.

And, a huge thankyou to Cello India for sending me a package full of goodies and these lovely markies ! They're Aweeeeesooooome 🤗

A screen to page movie magic for your Muggle heart ⚡

Hi guys :)

So Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them released a week ago and it was wonderful in every way explainable and not to forget the part where it almost had me crying because it was too perfect for my muggle heart to hold and,why not?

It can get pretty hard for a Potterhead ! because all that Harry Potter flashback and the wands and the magic and the music and the mention of Hogwarts alone had me wishing for a sequel!

If any of you guys haven't watched it  , GO WATCH IT ALREADY 

Leaving that aside , let me come to the point where i tell you "Why" this post . 

So a few days ago i received the long awaited (well i had to wait three days , its pretty fair to exaggerate because all that excitement makes you pretty impatient. Tell me i'm not the only one? :D ) package from Bloomsbury and almost lost my senses cause it was This "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them : Newt Scamander Movie Scrapbook" and need i say more ?

Rather, here's a little sneak-peek (its literally little because , get off that chair and get yourself a copy will you?)
 ENJOY 💜 :

NEWT 😍

 ...it also comes with some removable items.

Get youself a copy here  ⚡

i loved it so i'm rating it a million stars ♥

Whisper To Me- Nick Lake

Whisper To Me by Nick Lake
Published By: Bloomsbury
Publication Date : May 3, 2016
Genres :Thriller , Young Adult , Romance
Pages: 544
Format: Paperback
Source :Publisher (ARC)

Synopsis-

A remarkable story of strange beauty and self-discovery from Printz Award winner Nick Lake

"Here are some things i need to say to you :
1.I hear voices (well, just one voice really)
2. I miss you
3.I wish I could take back what i did to you
4.Forgive me
I should have left Oakwood the day I made that terrible discovery on the beach . The day the voice in my head first said those awful things to me . Before everything spun out of control.
But then I wouldn't have met you ..."

Cassie is writing a letter to the boy whose heart she broke. She’s trying to explain why. Why she pushed him away. Why her father got so angry when he saw them together. Why she disappears some nights. Why she won’t let herself remember what happened that long-ago night on the boardwalk. Why she fell apart so completely.

Desperate for his forgiveness, she’s telling the whole story of the summer she nearly lost herself. She’s hoping he’ll understand as well as she now does how love—love for your family, love for that person who makes your heart beat faster, and love for yourself—can save you after all.

My views -
Nick lake in his novel presents to us the story of Cassie . A girl who is suffering from traumatic Schizophernia . Although a love letter , the love theme doesn't overshadow the important theme Nick is dealing herewith , mental illness. I personally loved how he did it , how respectful he was throughout . And let me tell you , this isn't just a love letter , there is so much more , there's family , there's friendship , there's death , inner demons, murder mystery and most importantly ,healing .

"I was shining. Light was blazing from my every pore .My eyes were closed and the strip lights were turning the inside of my eyelids red,everything red. That's your colour you know, the one i see and feel when i think of you .Emotions are always associated with colours,aren't they? Green with envy.Well, when you are in my head you are always there with red : sunlight, warmth ,heat .
People are green with envy .Yellow with cowardice .I am red with you ."

Written in a conversational tone Cassie's voice just grips you in you know .. you keep reading because you want the answers for yourself and you keep doing that until you realise that you've actually finished reading and are in a puddle of tears .Perfect , isn't it?

"So i lost myself for a long time , and i did some terrible things to you and told you some terrible lies . But this is me now ,okay? This is my real voice , my one true voice ,which i am sending to you throught the ether , over the wires and the wireless, so that you can hear it"

What i loved most about Nick's writing was how vividly i could picture every episode as i read and his use of anecdotes are absoulutely stunning and appropriate , if you're a fan of anecdotes as much as i am , you're sure to enjoy it .
All in all , I recommend this to everyone looking for a coming age story of brilliant writing, everything stated above packed in one and happy endings , almost !

I am rating this book a 5 ☆'s because i love it so much !

November 9 - Colleen Hoover Book review

Pages : 320
Genre: New Adult
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
SOURCE : Purchased , Flipkart.

Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with an unforgettable love story between a writer and his unexpected muse.

SYNOPSIS :
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Overtime and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Can Ben's relationship with Fallon and simultaneously his novel be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

MY VIEWS :
Where do i even start?
Okay. First, i'm so ashamed of myself for not ever having read any CoHo books. Second, since i've finally read one she's definately going to be one of those authors who's books are always gonna be on my TBR shelf!
Moving on to the review finally ,
I had doubts when i read blurbs first, but let me tell you , the Book is so much more than the blurbs so don't keep second guessing if you've been meaning to get yourself a copy.Just go grab one (and thank me later :P).

"I press my head against his chest and even though I know he's kidding,part of me can't help but feel guilty genuinely sad about saying goodbye to him.I read reviews a lot for the audiobooks I narrate ,so I've seen the comments about how readers would do anything to make book boyfriends real .Here I am , convinced I'm standing in the arms of one ,and i'm about to walk away from him."

November 9th was Brilliant in EVERY way possible. Written in character POV's Ben and Fallon made me fall in love with them from the very beginning. They made me laugh , cry , swoon ,believe in love again ( not that i didn't but they made me believe more) . There was also a point where i got so frustrated that i wanted to rip the book into shreds and throw it away, but i'm glad i didn't because as much as it broke my heart it equally mend the hurting .

"You can’t leave yet. I’m not finished falling in love with you."

Its one of those books that just HAVE to read to be finally understanding the emotions i went through while i did and why i want you to read the book for yourself because reviews don't do half the justice as getting yourself a copy does. I won't be writing any further cause everyone should be reading it ,if you haven't aready. 

Gripping ,Real and so raw , it keeps you hooked untill the very end making their story yours and don't tell me i didn't warn you when you end up in tears ;)
BIG LOVE ❤

"When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it."

5 /5 ☆'s

All the Bright Places -Jennifer Niven Book review

  All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven 

Pages : 400

Genre : Young Adult

Publisher : Penguin Books Ltd, 2015.

SOURCE : Purchased , Flipkart.

   In her first debut for young adult readers Niven gives us a story of two broken teenagers,Violet Markey and Theodore Finch.It is to quote the book directly ,"The story of a girl who learns to live from a boy who wants to die".

SYNOPSIS :

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death. When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state,both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself and it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. How far will Violet go to save the boy she has come to love?

MY VIEWS  :

All the bright places is my first read by the author Jennifer Niven . I picked up this book with a lot of expectations and it did meet them to some extent but not wholly. Personally,i found a lot of resemblance in its content with some of the y/a novels i had already read before, not particularly naming them but i'm pretty sure there are a lot of readers who think the same way i do . The plot too ,did run slow at times and i did think it would've been a much fantastic read if the other characters were developed as much as the mains .
    Leaving the faults aside, i absolutely adored the way Niven found a way to make the young adult readers aware of such an important topic such as Mental illness and how great a deal it is to tackle it in all the right ways that there are and the love between Theodore and Violet is something that kept me going for more . Theodore ,mainly!And did i tell you? I fell in love with him !
He makes you laugh ,cry and feel the feels all of them at once. And although being predictable as it is from the very beginning it is beautifully written and very honest. A tale of love , loss , hope and mostly ,a tale of the power love holds and its beauty !

               

I recommend this to anyone looking for something that'll make you cry and something you still want to read after  having gone through my review .
Big love ♡

I'm rating this book a :

 4.5/5 ☆'s 

(Definately going to my "Favourite" list)
