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. 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 ...

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...

Spring Trends 2014!

Hi Everyone! Spring is finally here! I am so excited for spring because I am tired of the cold. But where I live it is still freezing.....oh spring, where are you? Anyways, I wanted to show you all my favorite Spring Trends for 2014! Even though summer is my favorite season, spring trends this years are really fun. My first favorite trend is blood orange lips! Now when I first saw this trend I got really confused because the blood orange color seems more like a summer trend. But this has been all over makeup magazines and this trend was also popular on the runway during Fashion Week. What I really like about this trend is that your whole make up look can be soft and dewy and the POW! Blood orange lips! The lips seem to make any makeup look put together. Plus it makes you stand out and then you will be a trendsetter. The next trend that I have been loving is pastels!  Pastels is always a trend during the spring time but pastels are just amazing! But this year it seems...
