Girl Online On Tour: A review

Hello there,

So as the title to this blog post suggests I've just read girl online. Not only did I read the book I read it all in a day. As I write this I have literally just put the book down after refusing to do so for a fair few hours of my day. For me that shows me that a book is good. If I am that into the book for me not to put it down it must be great!

There's something about Zoe's books that do this to me, I read Girl online in one day last year and absolutely loved it. I don't quite know what it is about these books but they must have some magical powers because it's been a very long time since I've been this into a book series. I just want more!

I think it's the story lines how a ordinary girl like 'penny' can be completely in love with rockstar 'Noah' and for him to feel the exact same. It's what we dream of. I think as well for me the books help, in a way. At the end of last year I was told that I had IBS triggered by anxiety and I thought it was total rubbish. This year however I have come to the realisation that actuall the anxiety isn't rubbish and yes I may feel completely sick to my stomach I can't let it stop me from living my life. And well Zoe's books (and well her general person) proves that you can keep going and you can achieve your dreams, ones you might not have even realised was possible.

I think I'll leave it there or this blog post will be stupidly long and I'll start rambling.

Up Close and Personal Tour (Diversity)

Hello there,

Diversity what can I say? A bunch of amazingly talented inspirational people who leave me stuck for words each time I see them.

Having seen them for twice before tonight I thought I'd seen everything and that nothing could surprise me. But man was I wrong. Not only was this years show personal and told us the boys stories it made me think about my own life. How a bit like Perri I was the shy, quiet kid at school who was bullied and who has finally started to find her voice because of the job she does and loves.

I was surprised at myself when I teared up and even cried at a couple of the dances the boys did, I never thought in my wildest dreams that watching someone dance could move me so much. But then again I never thought that dance could tell a story and the Limitless tour proved that one wrong.

The whole show was entertaining and powerful. You could really tell how much work has been put into making the show a reality and it was amazing! That's the only word I have to describe it because even now writing this two hours later I'm still stuck for words on how I could possibly describe what they do. It's simply stunning.

So now I'm going to sleep with a smile on my face knowing that I've seen the people who make me aspire to be better and to achieve my dreams. Because as their motto says 'Dream, Believe, Achieve' and I can't wait to book tickets for the 2017 tour!
