Mental Health Q&A with Jacqueline Silvester!

Welcome to day 6 of the Wunderkids Blog Tour! This blog tour is to celebrate the wonderful YA book series, Wunderkids by Jacqueline Silvester.

So for my post, I thought we would do a Q&A about a topic close to my heart, mental health.

BEST Underrated TV Shows #1

I watch a lot of TV and there are some shows that I watch each week that absolutely love but aren't getting the recognition that they deserve. So I thought I would compile a list of my current favourite, but very underrated TV shows that anyone can enjoy.

The weather is getting that little bit chillier each day which can only mean one thing, Autumn is upon us. But before we can start getting ready for Halloween we must say goodbye to the summer with an August Favourites.

Manchester Comic Con Haul

Last weekend, I took off my glasses and put my cape back on and became an unproblematic Supergirl for the day. Although I couldn't see because of the lack of glasses, I went to Manchester MCM Comic Con and I had a great time. I went with a group of friends, two of which also cosplayed. Abbie as The Flash and Vicki as Peter Pan. Yes, we did look insane on public transport.

Massive Waterstones Book Haul

Last week, I was invited to my first ever blogger event at Deansgate Waterstones! This event was actually in partnership with HarperCollins!

One of Us Is Lying Review

 One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus 

This book is best described as The Breakfast Club with added murder and the twists of Pretty Little Liars.

What Peggy Carter Means To Me

Agent Peggy Carter is my favourite Marvel character and is one of my all-time favourite characters. I fell in love with this character the moment she punched her way onto my screen in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Spider-Man: Homecoming No Spoiler Review!

You may be aware that Spider-Man is one of my all time favourite characters so I was glad to hear when Marvel announced he was back in their hands. It may be yet another reboot of the same story but this one has a unique angle that we haven't seen before. You can probably already tell that I loved this film and there are so many reasons why.

June Favourites 2017

June has gone and July is here, meaning my summer has officially started! 

I Went to Comic Con!

Hello! What have you guys been up to recently? 
I haven't been up to much, except fighting Thor. Wait, before you get confused, let me explain. Last sunday, I attended Stockport Unleashed Comic Con!! I went as Supergirl and my friend, Abbie, went as The Flash. And she actually came second place in the costume contest and got us free tickets to the comic con in Doncaster!! So I guess wearing these boiling costumes in Britain's unnecessary heat wave was worth it after all!! 

May Favourites 2017

I feel like every time I sit down to write my monthly favourites I'm typing about how shocked I am how fast this month went but honestly how is may over!!?? May was very dramatic everything happened at once, so much so I can't really remember what happened...

Wonder Woman Review!

I saw Wonder Woman, a few days ago, and I loved it. I honestly don't think I can put into words how much this film meant to me, not just as a woman but as a superhero fan. 

April Favourites 2017

April felt like such a long month, it felt like everything happened but at the same time, nothing happened. I probably feel like that because I had two weeks off from college in which I didn't leave my house... Anyway, here are my monthly favourites! 

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Review

You may be aware that I am a HUGE Marvel fan so when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released, I ran to the cinema the first chance I got. Here is my non-spoiler review.

Once Upon a Time Review

It has been almost three years since I started watching Once Upon a Time and it has become one of my most beloved TV shows of all time. Not only did Once Upon a Time grab my heart but it reignited my love for Disney and fairytales.

We Were Liars Review

During this month I finished We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. I read this book quite slowly as it was more of a bag book, to read while I'm bored on the train rather than something I would read at home. But during a long train journey home, I just got so into the book that I couldn't put it down. I couldn't walk home fast enough to see what happened next!

This book is about a rich and very privileged family. It mainly revolves around the four oldest cousins of this family, collectively called Liars. The story is set on a private island, that the family owns, and takes place every year in the summer. You get to see Cady grow up and go through very drastic changes in her life. 

We Were Liars is an amazing story, it is so full of suspense and you have no idea where it is going next. When reading it I was always on edge because I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. It takes a dramatic twist from being a happy story about a teen going through hardships but overall wanting to enjoy her holiday to a summer mystery. It is true what they say about this book, you do definitely not see it coming. 

This book is perfect for young adults as it features so many issues that a young person would. From first love to family drama and even realising the world was not as perfect as you once thought, it has so many relatable aspects. It also faces much more serious issues, such as mental health, but I won't say too much as this book is best when there are secrets.

We Were Liars is about the perfect girl, with the perfect family, who experience a wonderful summer romance. But her world is quickly sent downhill by an event she can't even remember. She must remove fact from fiction to discover what happened to her and her family.

Riverdale Theories: Did Betty Kill Jason Blossom?

(Photo: Diyah Pera/The CW. Edit: Me.)

In episode 3 of Riverdale, Body Double, we saw a new side to Betty Cooper. A side that didn't follow the rules, that didn't want to be a good girl anymore. This raised a lot of questions about what Betty is capable of. Did this good girl gone bad kill Jason?

My first thought, inspired by Screen Junkies, was that Polly is actually Betty's twin sister and they have switched places. Perhaps Betty went to see her ill sister and Polly convinced her to switch places or, worse, kidnapped Betty to take her place. This would explain why suddenly Betty wants to change and not follow her own rules, and also why her mother is being overly protective. It would also explain the hot tub scene in which Berry called herself Polly and is so desperate to get revenge. Killing the man who destroyed you and taking your perfect sister's place, who would expect that?

Another theory I have seen floating around is that Polly doesn't actually exist and Betty has a split personality disorder, Polly is all in her head. This could mean that she could switch back and forth and not even remember what she has done. Is why her mother flinches at the mention of Polly? Unfortunately, I think not. I have recently learnt that Tiera Skovbye will be playing Polly Cooper in the series so I guess that means Betty is innocent, right? 

We all know that Jason Blossom pushed Polly over the edge but what if Betty is experiencing the same thing. It hasn't been discussed in detail what happened to Polly but I can only assume that she is suffering some kind of mental illness and it's not unheard of for mental health issues to run in the family. Did losing Polly drive Betty over the edge? What if she cracked, just like her sister, and killed Jason but can't remember, or doesn't want to. 

My final theory not only involves Betty but her mother, Alice Cooper. She has not been quiet about her hate for Jason and his whole family. In fact, she was happy to find out he was dead. But what if she planned this? Just from the first 3 episodes, you can tell she's not the kindest mother or person. What if she pushed Betty to kill Jason for her or even killed him herself but pushed the blame onto her daughter. This could explain why she doesn't want Betty to get close to anyone, especially Cheryl, in fear she will share their secret. 

What are your theories about Betty? Do you think she could have killed Jason Blossom? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter! 
Riverdale is out on Netflix every Friday.

January Favourites 2017

2017 has had a bumpy start but let's focus on the positives, here are my January favourites!

My first favourite of this month is an app called TVShow Time. This app lets you track all of the television shows you are watching, or have watched in the past, and alerts you to new episodes. My personal favourite part of the app is that there is a discussion area for every episode with other viewers so you can see other's thoughts on the episode without seeing spoilers. The app also tells you how long you have spent watching TV in your life, I'm up to 2 months and 21 days, along with other stats. This app so helpful as I watch so many shows I could never actually keep up with them all. However, it does help you procrastinate quite a bit as when you finish one show it perfectly suggests you another. You can get TVShow Time for free on the app store and while you're at it, you can follow me on it too.

Speaking of TV shows, I have been watching a lot of Netflix this month. The first show I discovered this month was Shadowhunters. I have never seen the film nor have I ever read the books so I went into this show not knowing anything and damn did it blow me away. I finished all of season 1 in two days, it's all I did when I wasn't at college. The plot twist at the end of season 1 really shocked me and, honestly, I'm still not over it. Shadowhunters is all about the supernatural with lots of drama. My favourites characters so far are Jace and Magnus, I relate to them both on a spiritual level.

The second Netflix show I have started this month is Riverdale. Currently, there is only two episode out but I already love it. It's based on series of comics published by Archie Comics and I want to buy them all to try and find out what happens next. The best way I could describe this show is that it is like Pretty Little Liars but with a lighter mood. It's your typical murder mystery in an American high school with great characters and lots of ships.

In terms of fashion in January, I have been loving this black and red plaid jacket from H&M, on sale for £10. Wearing this with black skinny jeans and Converse makes me feel like one of those typical Tumblr girls you hear about in songs.

My beauty favourite has to be this brightly coloured Revolution Pallet. You can get this pallet, called Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Mermaids vs Unicorns, at Superdrug for £4. I was pleasantly surprised at how long and well it lasted throughout the day to say it has a low price.

What have been your favourites of January? And what would you suggest me to watch next, and possibly review, on Netflix? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter.
Happy February!
