Just a little explanation before this post- this is a blog post from my first blog, Love.Live.Life. However, I have decided to solely focus on this blog from now on, so I am going to be moving those posts onto this blog, as well as my really old blog posts, back from when I was about 12 on my first blog, in a little series called applepip archives! This is the last of those, I hope you enjoy reading it :) The other day, my Geography teacher set us some homework:  I quite like Geography as a school subject, so when I got around to doing the homework, I was truly fascinating by what I found out! Here are just some of the many statistics that I found out, many of which are just so astonishing: 61 villagers would be Asian 14 villagers would be American 13 villagers would be African 12 villagers would be European 1 villager would be Oceanic 33 villagers would be Christian 19 villagers would be Muslim 13 villagers would be Hindu 6 villagers would be Buddhist ...

Just a little explanation before this post- this is my first ever blog post, which I wrote wayyyyy back when I was about 12, on my first blog, which was called Love.Live.Life. However, I have decided to solely focus on this blog from now on, so I am going to be moving those posts onto this blog, as well as my really old blog posts, back from when I was about 12 on my first blog, in a little series called applepip archives! This is the fifth of those, I hope you enjoy reading it :) Hey! This is my blog and this post is all about... My favourite Disney songs!  20) You'll Be In My Heart- Tarzan This song is so emotional and cute- I just love it! It definitely gives out a positive message about loving your family and although it may seem soppy it is an inspirational song :)  19) Reflection- Mulan Awww, Disney is great at having inspirational morals in their films and this song is all about just being yourself and standing up for what you think is right, so that is why I...

Just a little explanation before this post- this is a book review I published in early 2017 on my other blog, Accio Books. However, I have decided to solely focus on this blog from now on, so I am going to be moving those posts onto this blog, as well as my really old blog posts, back from when I was about 12 on my first blog, in a little series called applepip archives! This is the fourth of those, I hope you enjoy reading it :) Published by Canongate Books in 2013, this is the 7th novel by British novelist and journalist Matt Haig. This review is of the paperback edition first published in 2014.  The first line of a book is often the most important- it is your first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the book. In this case, the first line is: "I  know that some of you reading this are convinced humans are a myth, but I am here to state that they do actually exist."  Just what the title suggests, really; that this is written from the point of view of som...

This is the third of those, I hope you enjoy reading it :) The Rule of Thirds is the first in a series by Chantel Guertin. It was published by ECW Press, an independently owned Canadian publisher, in 2013.  I was immediately drawn to this book, because of the fact that I share the same nickname, Pippa, with the protagonist! I think this is the first time I have ever come across a character sharing my name in a book!  Straight away, I assumed that the book would be about photography, because of the title (the rule of thirds is an important element of photography) and the front cover of the book, which features ...

Just a little explanation before this post- this is a blog post I published in March 2017 on my other blog, Accio Books. However, I have decided to solely focus on this blog from now on, so I am going to be moving those posts onto this blog, as well as my really old blog posts, back from when I was about 12 on my first blog, in a little series called applepip archives! This is the second of those, I hope you enjoy reading it :) Welcome back! Recently, it was World Book Day 2017, an event which my school loves to celebrate every year. Last year, I dressed up as Isabelle Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments, complete with runes, stele and even a (plastic) sword! Yes, I know, Izzy uses her awesome electrum whip in the books, but I just couldn't find one for sale anywhere!! My friend also dressed up as Izzy that year, so that was fun- we decided in the end that she could be Maia instead to avoid confusion! I love the Mortal Instruments so much- I almost went as Magnus Bane this y...

This is the first of those, I hope you enjoy reading it :) This is the third book in the Girl Online series written by Zoe Sugg, also known as Zoella. The 27-year-old who started out as a YouTuber soon became a household name and has now turned her hand to writing books. Girl Online, the first book in the series, was released on 25th November 2014, followed by Girl Online: On Tour on 20th October 2015 and now Girl Online: Going Solo, on 17th November 2016.  Before reading any more of this review, I suggest you may want to read the first two books first, as this review may contain spoilers for...

 Looking back, 2017 was an interesting year, to say the least! We began the year feeling dreadful for our friends across the pond when an orange lump was inaugurated as President... And we ended the year still feeling sorry for them- that he hadn't been impeached yet! But politics aside, let's get down to business. I like making lists. So, here are some (very short) lists, which I am calling my "Top Threes of 2017" (original, I know): My Top Three Books:  What a great one to start off with! Anyone who knows me knows that I love to read 😊 3)  Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow  Being a huge fan of the musical "Hamilton", I was ecstatic to receive this book for Christmas last year. Despite only having read about 80 pages all year, I'm really liking it! The only reason it is taking me so long to read is that I can only read a few pages at a time before my brain starts overflowing from an information overload!!! There are so many long words t...
