Sophie Reads: Murder On the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

Hi everyone!
Wow it has been a while. I honestly would like to apologize for not having a blog post in quite sometime but trust me, I will explain it one day. I have missed blogging so much and what is the best way to get back into blogging than by doing a book review. Reading has and will always be an extreme passion and love of mine. And I would love to recommend different books to you all. To get back to reviewing for you all, I chose to read Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. I have always been a huge fan of Agatha Christie after I read And Then There Were None in high school. The funny story is, I never heard of this book until I saw the trailer. When I said to myself, I have to see it, it reminds me so much of an Agatha Christie book. And I found out she wrote it. Lets get on to the review.

Summary:

In the middle of the night, a passenger on the Orient Express is killed. Samuel Edward Rachett is murdered and no one knows who killed him. The door was locked from the inside.  It is up to the greatest detective in the world, Hercule Poirit to investigate the crime. The issue is, the train is stuck in a snowstorm. No way to escape or to communicate with the outside world. Poirit's goal is to find the killer, before the killer murders again.

Review:
When I first started reading this book, I am not going to lie, it was boring. I felt that it started at a very slow pace and I just wanted Poirit to get on the train. But after I finished the book, I realized that the reason Agatha Christie starts her novels off slow is to build suspense. And let me tell you, it works. I read this book in one day. It was an extremely fast novel to read. You want to find out who the murder is. And honestly, I could not figure out who the murderer was until the last page. And trust me, you will not suspect the killer. I think the reason why I enjoy Agatha Christie books so much is because the crimes are so fascinating and the murderers are someone you would never suspect. I really enjoyed this novel. I would recommend it to anyone who likes murder mysteries, to read Agatha Christie. She is the queen of them.

That is my review for you all. I am a little nervous to see the movie, not going to lie. But it looks good. I tried when reading it to not think of the characters of the movie because I wanted to create my own ideas of what they were to look like.

I am really excited to get back into blogging. I have missed it and this also gives me an excuse to read more. Please recommend me books in the comments or just tell me how your day was.
I hope you all have a wonderful day or night wherever you are!

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.

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...
