Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to decorate my walls with wall stickers (yeah, I know, I had big dreams). The first wall stickers I ever saw were an assortment of Harry Potter related stickers that my friend had stuck all around his bedroom. What had once been a boring and un-decorated room was now a cool and friendly bedroom that had been created with minimal effort. Recently, I've come across a site selling a very large range of said wall stickers and I couldn't wait to try one out for myself. Cut It Out is an online shop that sells wall stickers suitable for all rooms of the house be it your living room, your kitchen or your child's nursery. These stickers probably aren't suitable for the bathroom as the moisture will make it difficult for the sticker to grip the wall. There really is a huge variety of stickers and the site is constantly being updated. Since I ordered mine there are already loads of new ones and I'm so sad they didn't have them before! Take a look at a few of my favourite quote stickers:

All the stickers look really professional most visitors will probably think it's some sort of artwork or painting on your wall, but no, it's so much simpler than that! Whether you want something small and inspirational or want to go big, you'll find a wall sticker to suit your style on Cut It Out. Here is the sticker that I choose which I believe is categorised under 'Kitchen' stickers:

An interesting look at things, right? ;)

So...

How do you order your sticker?

Simply head to the Cut It Out website and choose your sticker. There are tonnes and tonnes to choose from in a wide variety of categories so take your time! It took me days and days of deliberation to choose which wall sticker I wanted because, of course, you can't have them all, but they're all so darn cool. Once you've selected a sticker, it's time to choose a size and colour. All the stickers come in varying sizes, but for some of them there's the option of choosing between small, medium and large. All the dimensions are clearly marked out and the pictures are pretty good at demonstrating how large the stickers are in relation to wall space so there's no risk of you buying an outrageously large sticker that you don't have room for. In addition, you can choose between twenty different colours for your sticker be it shiny gold, bright yellow or aqua green. There's even the possibility of ordering a personalised sticker. For example, you could order 'Princess Jessica' for your little girl's bedroom or 'Mark and Jessica's Kitchen' for your new home. Whatever it is that you want, you'll find it on Cut It Out.

How do you apply your wall sticker?

The sticker arrives in a tube made from hard cardboard so no worries about your sticker getting squashed or damaged on its way to you. Once unrolled, you'll find your stick onto of a piece of white laminate paper with another clear sticker ontop. You then slowly and carefully peel the clear sticker off and hopefully your wall sticker will come off with it. This is a little tricky with some of the stickers as with mine a few of the letters still clung to the laminate paper behind it and there is a risk of tearing if this is not done with care. Once the transparent layer has been completely detached from the laminate paper, stick your wall sticker and the clear layer onto the wall where you want your sticker to go. Press the sticker down firmly, rubbing the sticker and the layer on top to make sure it really is stuck to the wall. Then, again, slowly and carefully, start to peel away the transparent layer and hopefully your sticker will remain attached to the wall. As you've probably gathered, the key to doing this successfully is to do everything slowly and carefully. It is by no means difficult to attach the wall sticker, but if you want to make sure that there are no lumps and bumps and that your sticker is firmly stuck to the wall then these are the steps you have to take. It doesn't take long either, you've just got to take care. As for taking the sticker off, it's pretty much the exact same process as putting it up, but the other way round. Make sure you've kept all the various bits and bobs that came with the sticker as they'll be needed for removal. First, take the transparent sticker and stick it back on top of your wall sticker, then rub it down very firmly, making sure that it has got a grip of your sticker. Start to peel the clear layer off the wall and hopefully your sticker will be attached to it once more. If your sticker doesn't attach, then press the clear layer down again and press even more firmly. Repeat this until your sticker has been completely transferred back onto the clear sticker sheet and then you can stick it back onto the laminate paper. As the sticker I ordered is a quote, this process is slightly more difficult because the letters are so intricate, but I imagine this being quick and easy for those with simpler designs.

Final thoughts...

So all in all, wall stickers are a fantastic way to jazz up your room without going through the hassle of redecorating or repainting the walls. People's main concern when it comes to wall stickers is usually: 'Will it leave a mark on the wall?' and I can tell you from experience that it won't. I first put up my wall sticker in my university bedroom and when it came for time to leave, I simply peeled it off, no harm done to the wall and the sticker was still reusable! As soon as I got home, I had it back up on my home bedroom wall and it's still in the exact same condition that it arrived it. So far, it hasn't peeled off and there isn't any indication that it's going to. Cut It Out stocks an incredibly wide range of stickers so you're pretty much guaranteed to find something you'll like. Delivery is unexpectedly fast though you'll probably have to be in to receive it as I doubt the tube the sticker comes in will fit through many people's letter boxes. If you've got bare walls and are looking to spruce up your home then head to Cut It Out's website and see what they've got to offer. I guarantee you'll find a sticker you'll love!

Title: Fish Tank

Author: Scott Bischke

Publisher: MountainWorks Press

Publication Date: 8th January 2012

Goodreads Summary: FISH TANK is an insightful allegory about the human condition, tackling issues of politics and power, limited resources and climate change.

FISH TANK is the ANIMAL FARM for our times.

--Dr. Pete Coppolillo, Ecologist

FISH TANK is a clever and fascinating fable that provides an insightful mirror on the folly of current human attitudes concerning climate change and global degradation.

--Dr. Steven W. Running, Nobel Laureate as a member of the IPCC, University of Montana

FISH TANK is a throw back to the times of Aesop... Take it as a great story, but know that it is real.

FISH TANK could benefit young adults in the same way LORD OF THE FLIES benefitted previous generations, helping them understand that bad things can happen when self interested people are not kept in check.

--Peter Cook, high school teacher, Melbourne Australia

FISH TANK [is] a great read for all ages. It has many different layers that appeal to people of all reading levels, from the enchanting characters and plot to the deeper messages that leave you thinking. I was really able to relate the issues and characters in FISH TANK to issues and people that I deal with in my life. FISH TANK leaves you thinking about the role you play in our society and challenging yourself do better.

--Tessa Exley, student, age 14

Just as the "Occupy" movement has shouted its intolerance for corporate greed and corruption, it's time we do the same when it comes to climate. We need a revelation. FISH TANK forces you to realize just that.

--Kelly Matheson, Program Manager for the Americas, WITNESS, New York City

{ Review }

So I've been rearranging my bookshelf and I discovered Fish Tank by Scott Bischke at the bottom of a very big pile of books. I actually received this book to review back in 2012 so I'm pretty darn ashamed that it's taken me this long to get round to it! Better late than never... right?

Fish Tank has been hailed as a modern day Animal Farm, a fantastic novel, so I was immediately interested in reading it. Instead of taking place on a farm, this story takes place in a small aquarium owned by a Professor Brown. The story goes that Professor Brown is given the opportunity to take a year long sabbatical in Australia to save a rare species of seahorse. However, this means that he has to leave his beloved aquarium at home in the hands of Augustus, a lazy man who is only interested in money. Despite Professor Brown's reservations, he has no choice but to leave Augustus in charge as there isn't anybody else willing to take the job he posted. Augustus agrees to check up on the fish tanks twice a week, though the fish feeder has enough food in it to last a week and being the lazy man he is, he has already mentally decided that he won't visit the tanks anymore than he needs to. As soon as Professor Brown leaves, Augustus tries to think up a plan for how he can minimise the amount of work he has to do, but still pick up his pay cheques. His master plan is to enlarge the feeder to last for longer than a week so that he doesn't need to keep coming back on a weekly basis. Augustus, or AgainstUs as the fish call him, attaches a 55-gallon drum to the top of the feeder and fills the drum with food. Thinking he's a genius, Augustus leaves with absolutely no intention of returning to the aquarium again before the year is up. Meanwhile, the fish have been watching Augustus' actions and debates spark up as they ponder whether or not they have enough food to last the year. Some fish are more dominant than others and have different ideas about how they should handle the fact that they are now alone, with the possibility of a food shortage before the year is up and the story continues...

Fish Tank is a very easy read that I sped through in one sitting. It's an interesting tale that explores different personalities and different attitudes towards dealing with problems facing society, in this case a shortage of food, but the same model can be applied to other situations facing society today, such as global warming. Although it may seem a little silly to use fish as the characters for such a story, that is what is so effective about this fable. You think that you are reading a simple short story, with interesting characters, but in fact this is subtle commentary on society. The nature of the characters as fish means that this novel is easy to understand as well as entertaining and can be read by readers of all ages. This is the sort of book that should be studied in schools and discussed and debated openly because this isn't a story about fish, it is a story about us and the society that we are living in today.

The aim of this fable is to get people to think about the problem of limited resources and how society needs to work together to solve said issues. I firmly believe that this book has achieved its aims as it certainly made me think about the shortage of natural resources that we are facing today as well as how the failure to cooperate can destroy an entire society. This book shows just how important it is for the entire world to work together to combat our issues but it also demonstrates the sad reality that this will almost certainly never happen, sealing our fate.

I think that the ending to this story could've been a little better developed as this was the really crucial point and there could've been more commentary on how the actions of these fish led to this point. The reader is supposed to learn from a fable and I think that the message of this story needed to be reiterated more strongly at the end to make this work even better than it already is. However, I don't think the ending is at all obvious or predictable which is a bonus point because the entire way through the reader is left wondering whether this society will survive or not which encourages you to keep reading.

All in all, Fish Tank is a fantastic short read that will keep you entertained and intrigued throughout. This story carries with it an important message and the author has done a brilliant job of conveying a serious message through the medium of fiction. I sincerely hope that this book gains popularity as it a must read for our generation and gives you much food for thought.

Title: Gretel and the Dark

Author: Eliza Granville

Genre: Young Adult, Fairytale

Publisher: Penguin Books UK

Publication Date: 6th February 2014

Goodreads Summary: Gretel and the Dark is Eliza Granville's dazzling novel of darkness, evil - and hope.Vienna, 1899.

Josef Breuer - celebrated psychoanalyst - is about to encounter his strangest case yet. Found by the lunatic asylum, thin, head shaved, she claims to have no name, no feelings - to be, in fact, not even human. Intrigued, Breuer determines to fathom the roots of her disturbance.

Years later, in Germany, we meet Krysta. Krysta's Papa is busy working in the infirmary with the 'animal people', so little Krysta plays alone, lost in the stories of Hansel and Gretel, the Pied Piper, and more. And when everything changes and the real world around her becomes as frightening as any fairy tale, Krysta finds that her imagination holds powers beyond what she could have ever guessed ...

{ Review }

Gretel and the Dark is set in Vienna in 1899 and alternates between two different stories every chapter, that of a young girl named Krysta and that of a beautiful young woman named Lillie. Krysta is a spoilt little girl who is sheltered by her father due to the loss of her mother. Her father is some sort of 'doctor' who works with 'animal people' whilst Krysta remains at home with her doll all day. Krysta is very imaginative girl who is always telling her doll stories, some of them are quite dark, and she frequently talks of her old minder, Greet, who used to tell these stories to her. Alongside Krysta's story we have that of Lillie, a beautiful young woman, who is discovered naked and alone in a forest. She is found and brought to Dr Josef Breuer by his young gardener, Benjamin and she is cared for in his household as they try to figure out where Lillie has come from, though she claims to not even be human and was created to kill 'the monster'.

Prior to reading Gretel and the Dark, I had read numerous reviews, all of which were extremely positive with reviewers ranting and raving about how awesome this book was. Needless to say, I had very high expectations as a result. A lot of other reviewers emphasised how this story is an adaption of the fairytale Hansel and Gretel and the title would certainly make you believe that, but the plot is actually so much more complex than that. Whilst there are indeed many fairytales mentioned, their significance does become apparent until the end of the novel, and the story of Hansel and Gretel is not the only fairytale that features in this novel. Not only that, but this story is also a subtle look at the oppression of the jews in the build up to the World Wars, something that wasn't at all apparent to me until I read that in someone else's review. This theme becomes a bit clearer as the novel goes on, but I think these references are so subtle that the average reader would miss them if they haven't been forewarned.

I have to admit that whilst I had high hopes for this novel, the book did not live up to expectations for me. It's taken me over a month to read the entire story as I didn't really have any motivation to carry on reading. Although the story is interesting and very well written, I found it very hard to get into and I never really felt like the plot was actually going anywhere. I kept hoping that the novel would pick up and the story would become clearer but, unfortunately, I still felt this way at the end of the novel. That's not to say that this story is boring or that there weren't moments when I was really into it, because there were, I just didn't feel like there was an overall movement towards some sort of finale, but instead it seemed as the majority of the novel was just setting up the world the characters were living in.

I think one of the main reasons I couldn't really get into this novel is because the two alternating plot strands seemed completely unrelated for a large portion of the book. It is only towards the end of the novel that you begin to see how the two stories may fit together and how the fairytale is relevant to the story. Krysta turns from an annoying brat to someone with an extraordinary imagination but I feel like there were certain gaps in her development and I could probably think of Krysta as a different person at each of the defining moments of her story. This is a shame because her story really is fascinating and I just wish I fully understood it. Lillie's story seemed to have much more a focus than Krysta's and yet it didn't fulfil this in the end. A lot of her story was spent trying to figure out who she is, where she'd come from and what her purpose is but I think this got a bit lost with all the other characters' stories around her.

There is a sort of plot 'twist', or rather a great revealing, towards the end of the novel, but it was all just a little too late in my opinion. I will admit that said 'twist' was extremely clever and I definitely appreciated the ingenuity of the author in how she had constructed and written her story; however, this revelation did not actually clarify a lot of the story's events for me. I have a vague understanding of how the two stories are related, but I'm still very sketchy on the details and to be honest, if someone asked me to explain the plot to them right now, I'm not sure I could do a particularly good job.

As I said, this is extremely well written story and the language that is used is complex and compelling and very, very dark, however, there was something that just didn't quite mesh together in this novel. There were so many brilliant elements to this novel, but I couldn't connect them all which left me feeling like there were bits and pieces of brilliance floating in a river that I was trying to cross, but none of them were coming together to form a bridge for me to do so safely. This is a shame because the writing is really is very, very good, so good and complex, in fact, that I would say that this is more an adult book than a young adult book. The darker themes that are explored also make this book more appropriate for adult or mature teen readers. My only criticism of the writing would be that a few too many phrases were in untranslated German to the point where I was sometimes really frustrated that I didn't know what people were saying to each other. There was literally no way for me to figure out what the characters were saying which left me in the dark which I think was more a negative thing than a brilliant stylistic device.

All in all, Gretel and the Dark is a so-so book that had the potential to be phenomenal. I am definitely in the minority when it comes to Gretel and the Dark as most people who read this book were completely taken with it, giving it four or five stars, but I really didn't connect with the story at all. Perhaps I missed a trick whilst reading it or something, but I am still so confused about so many things about this story which is incredibly frustrating. One of my main problems with this novel is that I am still in the dark about what was real and what was imaginary. In addition, what I thought was going to be the main 'plot', was not fulfilled at the end of the novel, at least I don't think it was, which leaves me wondering - what was the point? I'd probably still recommend Gretel and the Dark though I'd recommend reading it very thoroughly and carefully to avoid ending up incredibly confused, as I am now.

After having read The 100 by Kass Morgan, I was so excited to hear that The CW already had a TV version of the story on the way. The plot of the book is really intricate with so many different characters doing different things at different times and yet somehow all the stories are interwoven and connected. That is one of the things I loved most about the book and I sincerely hope that the new television drama sticks to that as much as possible.

So the story is that 97 years ago, the Earth was hit by radiation so strong that it wiped out the entire human race. That is, apart from the 12 space stations that happened to be floating above the Earth at the time. These 12 stations joined forces to create 'The Arc' and what is left of humanity has been living on the Arc since then. The problem is, the Arc is dying. They are rapidly running out of resources and so those in charge make the decision to send one hundred teenage 'criminals' down to Earth to test conditions out. These one hundreds teenagers are not really criminals, they have all been caught for some sort of petty 'crime' but laws are extremely strict given how delicate the situation of humanity is. So these one hundred teenagers are bundled onto a small spaceship and thrown down to Earth with no idea of what to expect.

So my first impressions of this new series...

Given that I've read the book, I obviously had expectations and a vague understanding of what I thought the plot would entail. Had I not had this advantage I think I may have been sorely confused during the first few minutes of the pilot episode. I felt that explanations and character introductions were very rushed and I found it hard to keep up with who was who and who knew who and for what reason etc. Once things had settled down a bit it was easier to distinguish which characters were going to be the protagonists but they still didn't fit together all that nicely. I'm going to assume that this is all just part of the story's development and that the things that have been rushed will be elaborated as the series progresses.

As for actors, there isn't anyone spectacularly talented. That probably sounds rather harsh but that's not to say that the acting isn't good, I'm just saying that it's nothing noteworthy. Most of the actors aren't particularly well known American actors, sure, I've seen a few faces before but for a lot of them this appears to be their 'big break' into television drama. I wouldn't say that there are any particularly noticeable hunks, though I can tell which characters are supposed to be the 'good looking' ones. A lot of people will probably disagree but that's just my opinion. The girls, however, are all beautiful, which is perhaps a little unrealistic given that they've been in a sort of 'prison' for years, but hey that's television for you.

For fans of the book, I'd say that although the basic framework of the television show is based on Kass Morgan's story, the plot line of the two isn't all that similar. The end of the pilot episode is similar to the end of the first book so clearly the story of the book is merely a platform from which the television series has sprung. The character Glass and her story appears to have been removed from the dramatised version so unless if she's going to spring up later, I'd say that we won't be seeing her. This is disappointing as I loved Glass' story and it was nice to see some action happening on the ship. It seems as though there will be a subplot detailing the goings on of the adults on the ship, but this takes a backseat from the drama unfolding on Earth.

All in all, this wasn't the best debut to a television series that I've ever seen but I've still got high hopes. I believe that series one of The 100 has been booked for 13 episodes so it's not all that long and hopefully it will continue after that. So far, the story and the new world is still being set up but the foundation for exciting plot developments has already been laid down. This is a unique story that I hasn't really been explored before and the CW usually has good shows so I'd recommend getting stuck into this new series!

BLURB:

Hulking shadows emerge out of the chaotic flurries of the blizzard. Something is dying, and so they come, like vultures.

After months of struggling south to escape the zombie-infested remains of New York, a snowstorm traps 23-year old artist, Emily, and her son in an abandoned gas station. Starving and desperate, they encounter Aaron, an Army medic on a mission of his own, who offers them a ride to ease the journey.

The road is a long and dangerous place to travel, and every day brings a new threat. But fear and adrenaline also drive the two closer together; they find laughter and a budding attraction that starts to thaw at their numb and deadened feelings. And that’s when the pain really starts to hit, when places long thought lost prickle back to life. Eventually, they will have to fight not just for survival, but for a future together, or their broken world will swallow them whole.

Excerpt // Zombie Attack

Emily stared first at him, then at the side-view mirror.

“They are fast…” she exhaled.

Rolling down the highway, Aaron was trying to avoid broken down cars and fallen trees, snow-choked drifts and holes in the road. They were slow, too slow; and the creatures had little trouble keeping up. There was no question of stopping, of course, but he couldn’t accelerate, either.

“It’s like they’re hunting…” he muttered, focus completely on the road. They were nowhere near an established town, not really, so there shouldn’t have been as many as there were. He’d counted five, now, in the last mile, and that meant, logically, there were more he wasn’t seeing. There were always more, always unpredictable. Underestimate them once and you were dead meat.

Emily clenched her hand around her thigh and glanced at Song still sleeping on the backseat. He looked as peaceful, as oblivious as she had been mere minutes ago.

“Maybe it’s because we’re moving or… or making sounds,” she whispered. Aaron couldn’t tell if she was worried about waking her boy, or whether the soft hush was her way of keeping her voice from cracking with fear, but he shook his head, distractedly.

He had to come up with a strategy, some way out of this, but it was high stakes situations like these when his army training broke through and he felt paralyzed, waiting for an order, for someone else to take over and tell him what to do. There was a sense of shame in that, and one he wasn’t eager for her to notice.

“Oh—fuck, no.” Aaron jumped and stepped on the brake pedal. Around a bend, they’d come to a downed tree, large and crushed down by the snow, and the van rolled to a stop in front of it. It had to have fallen sometime during the last storm, as the roots were still caked in soil and snow had frozen in a thick sheet of ice over the trunk.

A dizzying sensation of panic sunk through Emily’s body; she took a rattling breath.

“There’s no way we can move that,” she said still in that small voice, thin but steely.

“Yeah.”

So you love texting and you love snapchat? Then Frankly Chat is the perfect app for you as it seems combines two of the most popular activities on any smartphone. With Frankly Chat you can send messages and photos to your friends which initially come up 'blurry'. When your friend has received the message and wants to open it they tap the message and the message or picture comes into focus and the timer starts running. As soon as the timer bar has reached the the other end of the screen, the message disappears forever. That is, unless if you screenshot the message, though the sender of the screenshotted message will be alerted to the fact that you have done so, so there's no point trying to be sneaky! Possibly the best feature of Frankly Chat is that you can unsend messages. Everyone, literally everyone, has either sent the wrong message to the wrong person or simply wished that they could take something back but very few apps allow you to do this. For me this is what attracted me to Frankly Chat because you can send messages really quickly and really easily, but if you've been a bit too hasty, you can always take it back later (provided the person you've sent it to hasn't already read it, of course).

There are tonnes of instant messaging apps out there but none of them are quite like Frankly Chat. You can change the background colour of your messages with a swipe and the font size with a pinch. Frankly chat allows you to share your emotions with more than just words with all these customisable features. Another interesting feature, which could probably be just as much of a blessing as a curse, is the opportunity to have anonymous conversations. You can have group conversations with your friends and no one has to know who's saying what. If you want to let your crush know that somebody's (i.e. you) got their eye on them, here's a sly way to do it ;)

Here's the progression of me tacking a screenshot:

Just look at how colourful and the conversation is - so much better than plain old texting!

All in all, Frankly Chat offers a wide variety of new features that are unavailable from any other messaging app so get yourself (and your friends) on the hype now!

Title: Panic

Author: Lauren Oliver

Genre: Young Adult

Publication Date: 4th March 2014

Publisher: HarperCollins

Goodreads Summary: Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

{ Thoughts }

(I know this technically came out yesterday, but I'm still waiting on a copy so it still counts as my WoW ;) )
So the synopsis of Panic doesn't give away much, but it seems as though this will be a book very similar to The Hunger Games. Although I own a couple of Lauren Oliver's books, I haven't actually read any of them so I'm not sure whether I'll like her books but just about everyone that reads them seems to enjoy them so I suspect they're all good books. I hope Panic turns out to be a good read that is unique and not just a copy of some other dystopian novel that's already been released but we shall see!

What's everyone else waiting on this week? Leave your link in the comments below! :)
