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

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the  Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
