The Beast's Heart Blog Tour

Hello everyone and welcome to my stop on The Beast's Heart blog tour! Today I was supposed to be hosting a review for this beautiful book however I haven't received my copy, it seems to have gone astray off having its own little adventure, so I'm improvising with five reasons I can't wait to read The Beast's Heart (when I do finally get my hands on a copy!)


1.) Fairytale retellings are my thing. I love seeing what unique spin each author puts on their retelling. I love all of the little nods that pay homage to the classic and the new twists and additions their story takes on. My favourite fairytale retellings have to be The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, her books are a perfect example of fairytale retellings done right!

2.) I'm a big fan of all fairytales but Beauty and the Beast is my favourite and has been since I was a little girl. I've always related to Belle, with her endless curiosity and love of books and I still want to be her when I grow up. Even as an adult I'm still madly obsessed with Beauty and the Beast. I have everything from funko pops, to t-shirts, to my very own Chip mug!

3.) I first heard about The Beast's Heart back last summer when they handed out the beautiful purple proof copies at YALC and since then I have been counting down the days to the books release. If you haven't seen the proof editions you need to Google them - they're so, so pretty!

4.) Unlike a lot of Beauty and the Beast retellings, The Beast's Heart is told from Beast's point of view! I've never come across this before and I'm so excited to read from his side of the story.

5.) The final cover. Seriously? Does this need any more explanation? Just look at it! If that doesn't draw your eye in a bookshop I don't know what will!

 Hopefully I'll get a copy soon so I can review it for you guys 
but until then make sure you check out the rest of the stops on the blog tour!

I Was Born For This Blog Tour

Hello everyone and welcome to day two of the musical I Was Born For This blog tour! The way this works is each host is hosting a song chosen by Alice Oseman herself from the I Was Born For This playlist with a little bit of info on how it connects to the book. We're then adding our own song to create one epic giant YA playlist that celebrates fandom so make sure you stop by each day to get the full playlist!


Alice's Choice: Starz In Their Eyes – Just Jack 
This song could have been written for I Was Born for This. The lyrics explore the fleeting and sometimes traumatising nature of fame and being put in the spotlight. That’s definitely something IWBFT’s boyband narrator, Jimmy, is struggling to deal with throughout the book! “Since you became a V.I. person / it’s like your problems have all worsened” could be I Was Born for This’ tagline…

   

My Choice: Castle On The Hill - Ed Sheeran 
Hands down my favourite artist is Ed Sheeran. I've followed him since his days of posting on MySpace so it's amazing to see how far he's come in the industry. Last year I finally got to see him perform live on his Divide tour and the first song he played was Castle On The Hill which is my personal favourite from the album. I'm going to see him at Wembley next month and I can't wait! 



Make sure you follow the rest of the blog tour 
to hear all of the songs from the playlist!
