I Present To You...My Best Friend!

Dalton and I have been planning a photo sesh (my idea, he's not that vain ;P) since before I got my camera and last weekend we finally got around to it! There were many, many shots to sort through, but here are some of the best bits, I think. Let me know what you think in the comments! :)


















I thought I'd throw in this candid shot of us walkin' back down the trail. :)



I hope you all liked the photos and a massive thank you to Dalton for being a good sport! <3 This was my first go at photographing anyone in a "photo shoot" type manner so please do let me know what you think and if you like these kinds of posts! Xx

Once Upon A Time... | 2014 Blogger Challenge

Hello lovelies! Topic 3 of the 2014 Blogger Challenge is to write about a book that we love or hate or anything really. When I first read that this was the topic, I'll be honest, I somewhat had to rack my brain. Not because I couldn't think of a favorite book, two came to mind actually; I just had a hard time because I felt that they're both from when I was too young. However, I've decided sod it, why not write about one of the books I love regardless of how old I was when I read it? :)

When I was around 13 or 14, I read a book called Skate by Michael Harmon and I absolutely loved it! I fell in love with the character, Ian, and I felt all the emotions with him throughout the book. I read it again last year and I'm still in love with it regardless of the age difference between then and now. Even though I knew how it ended, I still found myself getting locked in and needing to read page after page. I don't want to give anything away but it's a truly touching story about a teenage boy and his little brother and what they go through day to day to survive. I got so attached to the characters and that's one of the most important things for a book to have in my opinion. No matter how interesting the story is, if I don't fall in love with or really care for a character, I can't truly enjoy it. Give it a read if you're interested in "young adult drama" like I still am at the age of 21. Lol

Hope all's well! I'm looking forward to reading everyone's book posts as I'm actually looking for some new books to read. :) Ta for now! Xx
