Sophie Reads: The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith



Hello everyone! 
I hope you are all doing well. I have been doing a lot of reading in honor of Sophie's Reads and let me just say, I have a lot of books to tell you all about. The novel that I want to talk to you about today is The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. A fun fact about this novel was that it is actually written by J.K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith is her pseudonym. 

Every time I went to Barnes and Nobles ( a book store in the United Sates), I passed this novel constantly. It was on the best sellers list, it was on the novel to take to the beach table, it was everywhere. So I finally picked it up and let me just say, I am so glad I did. 

Overview: 
A private detective named Cormoran Strike is mess. His business is not doing so well, his private life is not doing so well and things are not looking so bright for Detective Strike. Until a case comes in to investigate a so called suicide of a supermodel. 
Detective Strike is a war veteran, who lost half his leg in battle. The day this case falls onto his lap, he gets a temp secretary named Robin. 
Robin and Strike go on this search of finding out what really happened to the beautiful supermodel, Lula Laundry. Did she jump? Or did something more brutal happened? 

Review: 
This book is.....AMAZING. Words cannot describe how impressed I am with this novel. Honestly, mystery novels are not my cup of tea. I have read mysteries before but they are not my go to. But after reading this novel, I honestly think that I will be looking into more mystery novels. Honestly, I came into reading this book with an open mind. I had absolutely no idea whether I would like this book or not. 
I was thoroughly impressed. 
I love how rugged and hairy Cormoran Strike is. I love the relationship that he has with Robin. But at the same time, what I really loved was that I was constantly at the edge of my seat. The closer I got to the ending, the more confused I was about what actually happened to Lula. Now, normally I am pretty good at picking up what happens at the end but let me just tell you, you will not know anything. 
J.K. Rowling honestly can do no wrong but I still was impressed. I only have read the Harry Potter novels but I always knew she was an incredible writer. This just proves that she is an extremely talented author who can write completely different types of novels. She is a superstar. 

Another reason why I truly loved this book was that I felt that it wasn't your common mystery novel. I personally felt that it was a well written novel that was about a detective trying to find the truth. And what he finds is something that honestly you will question. I personally do not understand some parts of the novel but I can't say anything because then I would ruin it for you all. 

But if you have a chance, I really think that this should be on everyones list. Personally, I felt that it was pretty fast paced. I read it in 2 days and it is about 500 pages. But I felt that you could definitely read it in a few sittings but you might not want to because it is so good! 

I hope you liked this Sophie Reads. I know I had a lot to say about this book. I am writing this right after I finished it and my parents are sleeping and I have no one to vent to about my love for this book that I thought I would talk to you guys! 
I hope you have a wonderful day/ night! 

Carpe Diem, 
Sophia

Battle of the BB Creams!

Hello everyone! Now as you all can tell, I love the Battle of the series. The reason why is because I can review a bunch of products for you all in one blog post. Since it is summer and not many of you want to wear a ton of make up, I thought I would tell you my favorite BB creams.

I will try to put up as many as I can but I just want to let you all know! :) I hoped you all had a wonderful June! What is a BB cream?    Now BB stands for blemish balm. A BB cream is supposed to have a moisturizer, primer, concealer, skin treatment and foundation all in one.

June Ipsy Bag 2015!

Hey everyone! I really need a better way to say hi to you all. If you have any suggestions, let me know! Today I am doing my June Ipsy bag! I am super pumped because whenever I get my Ipsy bags/ pouches I get to try different brands that I might not have ever heard about. I never look at a preview of what I am going to get because I always want it to be a surprise. So let's get started. Not going to lie, when I first got my Ipsy bag, I was a little disappointed. The reason why is because on the Ipsy Instagram page, they had so many products that I wanted to try like the Formula X nail polish and  the It Cosmetics brow pencil. But when I first looked at the products that I received, I was disappointed. The bag/pouch: This pouch is super simple but I really like it. This is the perfect pouch to keep all your make up in and throw it in your purse. I like how it is flimsy feeling but durable. Some of the Ipsy pouches are very sturdy and structured and I am not really a...
