THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE!

Books vs. Movies. Which are truly better? I personally believe that books are. You can never find something as good as the original. Plus, I think that all of the benefits you get from reading makes it all worth it. Whether you read the book or someone reads it to you, you’re in control of what you see. You get to drift away in the authors world and help create everything with them because authors only describe so much.

When you just go out and see the movie you’re showed what everything looks like, you don’t get to imagine it. I think that an active imagination is so important because it helps fuel our creativity. Books are the easiest to relive anytime, anywhere. They’re small, and you don’t need electricity or anything to relive the story.

In the end, the book will always be better. The reader can get more out of it. You build your imagination, and you’ll always have the story with you. Movies just butcher the whole thing. So I urge you to find a quiet place, pick out a good book, and just read.

Earth Day should be every day. Earth Day is the perfect time to think about the planet will live on, as well as the damage our actions have on it. From poisoning and injuring marine life to presence of plastics in food to disrupting human hormones and causing major life-threatening diseases, the exponential growth of plastics is threatening our planet's survival. Going green is easier than you think. There are little things you can do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases and make a less harmful impact on the environment. Taking care of the Earth is not just a responsibility it's a privilege.

1.­ Pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good.

2. Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health.

3. Recycle.You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in a different bin. If you're trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging.

4. Change your light bulbs. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) last 10 times longer than a standard bulb and use at least two-thirds less energy.

Love Murder by Saul Black — Crime Thriller 

It is spine-chilling serial-killer thriller featuring homicide detective Valerie Hart from the author of the critically-acclaimed THE KILLING LESSONS.  It moves at a cracking pace and as the crimes unfold they seem to hit very close to home for Valerie Hart our heroine.  As Valerie races against time to catch the masked killer the author ratchets up the tension.

A gripping novel of psychological suspense centered on two sisters whose lives have taken them apart, and the shocking family secrets that bind them together. This is a complex story about families and the relationships within. Love, hate, jealousy, abuse-it's all here. Adults making decisions that forever change the lives. The novel is told across two timelines when Robin and Sarah are both younger and living with their parents in the late eighties and early nineties and in the present day. "Don't Close Your Eyes" is a highly addictive compulsive “I don’t want to put this down “book that has so many Twists that you genuinely will not see coming.

The Body in the Clouds by Ashley Hay — Contemporary Fiction 

The Body in the Clouds tells the story of one extraordinary moment - a man falling from the sky, and surviving - and of three men who see it, in different ways and different times, as they stand on the same piece of land. It is full of rich imagery which captures the mood of the place and the time.  This skillfully written tale weaves back and forth between characters, revealing a hint of the connection of humanity through the ages.

The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell

The Last Magician – one of my most anticipated releases for 2017. Magic, time travel, and historical fiction all rolled into one book. In one word it’s epic. The story jumps around a bit in the beginning to different time periods to set the stage. We start off in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. From the amazing characters to the action, the magic, the world building, the descriptions, and just about everything else in The Last Magician is tremendously well portrayed. This twisty tale of alchemy and magic in Gilded Age New York will keep you guessing until the very last page.

The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

Four teenage girls forge a powerful friendship at boarding school. They spend virtually every spare moment together. The girls play a game in which the goal is lying successfully. When their idyllic life is suddenly shattered by tragedy, they must go their separate ways. Seventeen years later, the girls are together again and it feels like they've never been apart. Soon, though, the past lies come back to haunt the present. The story keeps you spellbound as it unfolds- there's never a dull moment. The entire novel is so fast paced you don't feel cheated at all.
