My favourite song on this album has to be Missing You. It just speaks to me. The lyrics are beautiful and just the sincerity in his voice. Such a lovely song. 
I love it so much I'm getting some of the lyrics from it incorporated into my thigh tattoo this coming Saturday. I'm so nervous.

And my least favourite is... Tidal Waves. I still like the song, don't get me wrong. I just like the other songs more!

I do have a soft spot for the third song (and fifteenth) on this album which is Something's Gotta Give. I absolutely love singing this one in the shower. Speakers on full blast. It's amazing. This is also one of the only All Time Low songs that they play in my favourite club in Bristol. 

I recommend you listen to this album. I wasn't convinced the first time I listened to it and now it's my go to album! 
Drop me a comment and let me know what your favourite song is!

Invoked


I bought this film for £5 in Asda. Just one of those films you see on offer and decide to pick it up whilst doing the food shopping. 
The synopsis made it sound like a really good film. I'm not one for giving out spoilers but I think this film calls for a few, although... I wouldn't really call them spoilers, you'll know what's gonna happen throughout most of the film.

However, I wasn't overly impressed with it.
Essentially what happens is five Irish people head out into this old abandoned bed and breakfast, they decided to play the ouija game, makeshift style. They didn't have a board so they made it out of paper. 
When they summon the spirit, the girls get scared so they try and say goodbye to the spirit. 
The spirit of course says no. And you can pretty much imagine the rest of it. It's really predictable.

It's one of those jumpy films that you kind of forget about immediately after watching. I don't know if I'm being to harsh or something but for anyone interested in horror films that wants to watch it after reading this review, then either stream it or I'll lend you the DVD. Don't waste your money on it.

What I forgot to mention is that it's filmed from their camcorders, so if a room goes dark, you literally can't see anything.

I feel like this is a really short review but I don't have anything else to really say on the matter if I'm completely honest.

Briar Rose



I don't even know where to start with this post...

How would I describe this book in three words?
1) Magical
2) Mesmerising 
3) Outstanding 

I actually tweeted the author at about 3 AM... Her name is Jana Oliver - @crazyauthorgirl - I just said: "Your book #BriarRose is outstanding. Best book I have ever read! #thankyou :') it's just perfect"

She kindly replied saying: "@Jazzy_ATL Thank you so much! It was fun to write. I got to do all sorts of crazy things to Briar & her friends."

It's safe to say, I'm the happiest I've probably ever been.

Back to the book though...
It's amazing. It's basically a modern take on Sleeping Beauty. By the end of it, I was convinced I was a princess.

People often ask me: What's your favourite book?
I can't ever answer. There's a small piece of me in every book I read.
But this... This is 100% my favourite book. Ever. 

It's magical but at the same time, you actually believe it could happen.
I'm so glad I picked it up in the book shop. 

I'm kind of unsure what to do with my life right now though, I regret reading it so quickly, but it was just impossible to put down.
I rate this book 10/10, it couldn't have been better. 

Thank you Jana Oliver for writing this masterpiece.
