I should sooo totally be revising for my A levels on thursday and friday, I've done next to nothing to revise- I'm so going to fail! But I can't help but distract myself...I came on the internet to ind some information on the Galapagos, but like always I end up on DevART...! They should have a "no coming on here when you have exams" policy, right?!

Does ANYONE have any useful tricks for revising, because I find it sooo difficult to find a method that works for me- hopeless. Please, can anyone help??!!

OK so, who else freaking LOVES Name of the Wind?!!
I literally cannot wait to read the next one, it's the best book I've read in a while. The characters, the story, the drama, the reader-empathy, the humour, the world-building...all amazing. Rothfuss is a true master of novel writing, right?!
I mean, not to say it didn't have some loopholes and confusing inconsistencies, but they aren't plot changing. One thing I will say is that it was sooo long!I've read books with +600 pages before, but have you SEEN the font-size?! Also, I read one review and I hate to agree with her but, it does kind of feel like a MASSIVE set up for the next 2 books- a 600 page prologue...
For those who have not read it yet, I would recommend it if you love fantasies that you can get lost in and characters you can truly, truly believe and books that are written for the sake of being written rather than to spin money or propagate a brand.
For those who have read it, well done and I'm sure you'll agree with me! I'd love to hear Your thoughts on the novel/upcoming trilogy...


Also, I saw Slumdog Millionaire the other week- also recommended 1000%!! The best film I've seen in a long time (and trust me...I've seen a LOT of films, the only thing I would critise is the ending (a little uncharacteristically corny) but still a very good way to end the film, wraps it all up nicely...
See this film if you love to examine different cultures and a whole alternative way of life. Truly fascinating insight, and really absorbing and funny and heart-warming. See it! Or I will hunt you down and gut you like a fish (...then put you back together and make you watch it and give you a cup of tea because I'd feel bad for cutting you up...)!!


Anyone have any thoughts about that Will Smith film, Seven Pounds. I really disliked it personally, but what do you think of it..?


Most of my journals end up being reviews for stuff. LOL. Laters!!

p.s. Couldn't find the appropriate icon for my mood, so this one looked quite like "distracted"...let's pretend...
