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 also want to let you know that there might not be many blog posts in the month of July. The reason is because I am in college at the moment and I am super busy. 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. BB creams have been all the rage for a while now but not many people talk about them anymore.   NOW LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! Round 1: This is the  L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream . This BB cream was one of the first BB creams that ...

Must Have Nail Polish for Spring!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Now that I have started talking about spring, I am so ready for it!  My last post  was about my favorite spring trends for 2014 and today I want to talk about nail polish! I love nail polish. It makes me so happy when I am writing notes and all of a sudden I look down and see my nails painted in a pretty color. It brightens my day! It's all about the small things in life. Essie's Play Date This color just screams spring to me. This is one of my all time favorite nail polishes and every time spring and summer comes around, this is the first nail polish I put on.  You're Such a Budapest This color is gorgeous. I do not personally own this color....yet! I will be getting it this spring because this is like a lavender/periwinkle purple. This color is a perfect color to transition color from winter to spring. Essie's Sand Tropez  This is another color that I don't own.....but I will. I honestly think ...

First Impression: Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be doing my first first impression blog post! Yay! Now I got this a while ago but I have not really touched it or played around with it. A first impression is basically my opinion on these products and how I think of them the first time I swatch them, use them , stuff like that. Now this is a value set from Sephora and it is the  Sephora Favorites Meet Your Match .  Now this was pretty popular among some YouTubers a while back and I really liked the products and wanted to try them and it was only $25 for 6 sample size products. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.  Packaging:  I love the packaging. I thought it stands out because of the bright colors and the interesting print on the cardboard. I also love the concept of matching you lip gloss to your nail polish. I thought it was a really fun idea for summer.  Match 1: This is the first lip product that I want to tell you all about an...
