Kiki’s Epeolatry

So hi. Sorry for such a huge period of time where i was absent. There are several reasons as to why that is, personal as well as other big points. Anyway, i'm back and hopefully that means that i will be back for a while, before i may be noticeably absent once again. Today i have a nice book to come back to this blog. It is called 'Conditional Love' and written by an author from Nottinghamshire called Cathy Bramley. As you can see the awful picture that i took of this book doesn't really show the homely beauty of the book cover in person. The illustration really identifies what the story is all about - a woman with the aim of getting her dream home. It really shows this with the fact that there is a light on downstairs in the house, a warm hearth. So because of the fact that somehow i have "connections" with this author, she was very kind in sending various amount of goodies back last year. This included this book, as a signed copy, as well as other ...

'If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.' This is the new UK version of the Percy Jackson series. I don't really like it, I prefer the older version. Luckily I do have the old version! Wise words from a wise author. From when Rick Riordan's first book, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief hit the bookshelves, we have never experienced such a huge phenomenon of fandoms across the world. I'm not going to stop there. Why is Percy so good? Well, let me tell you; are you ready to convert from Harry Potter? Percy is based in the modern times, but of course, it has an extraordinary twist to the tale. There are Greek Gods (yes! meaning Zeus and Hades!) and Percy is right at the centre. He's a demigod. I hear you say, what does that mean? Well, it is only a person who has the DNA of both a god and a human. Wow! (I know now your checking if you're one yourself) Unfortunately, species such as demigods have a very unlikely cha...

I'm so excited to talk you about this piece of fiction. Literally it is just a masterpiece!     Genre: Contemporary, Romance Year Of Publish: 2013 (US), 2014 (UK) Publisher: St Martin's Press (US), Pan Macmillian (UK)    I have found that throughout the whole of this book, the main character Cath has a lot of characteristics that i can relate to. She's antisocial, a fangirl(a bit obvious), scared of the real world and prefers the imaginary world of literature compared to reality. The whole time i couldn't stop reading wanting to find out more(which is kind of bad when i have tons of essays to finish). What is a ll about? Well, the basis of the story is that Cath is going to university, but she prefers to write fanfics of Simon Snow and Baz. They are kind of an imaginary fandom, which i heard from somewhere that Rainbow Rowell is eventually going to write books about them. So that will be quite interesting. But many have said that Simon Snow is v...

Throughout this week, I had decided that I wanted to try out the 19 year old writer, which has been the talk of literature world, during the last month. Obviously, when I did begin to read it, I did have high expectations- when lots of readers have commented it to be good. This was from Goodreads reviews on how they had thought about it. But also the fact that she was on the breakfast news was one of the main reasons on why i decided to tryout her story. Usually, when it came to unknown writers talking about their books on breakfast TV, i would normally forget it and pass it off to be awful. Although when i saw the cover and the blurb, i was very intrigued, intrigued with the fact that i could relate to these experiences in some cases- it makes sense when you're a teenager! Genre: Contemporary Publisher: HarperCollins Year of Publish: 2014 As it being a debut novel for Alice Oseman, it was very developed compared to some writers on first publishing. It considers issues su...
