The Chocolate Book Tag

There are loads of tags out there on the internet, but this one in particular seized my attention. I mean, it collaborates two of my most favourite things on this planet. Also, I think it's very entertaining and it's an easy way to tell you about books which have impresed me.


1. Dark chocolate (book that covers a dark topic)
That is definitely Gerald's Game by Stephen King. I think that most of his books fit into this category, but this one in particular is unbelievably dark and twisted. It has death in it, it has horror, it has violance. Sometimes I just can't believe how his mind gives birth to such horrific stories.

2. White chocolate (favourite light-hearted read)
For sure - Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell. The book itself is nothing fancy and I know I've written about it before. But that's one of my favourite light and fast reads of all time.

3. Milk Chocolate (a book that has a lot of hype about it and I want to read it)
 Divergent by Veronica Roth - All I know about this one is that basically every book blogger writes about it and it seems that everyone loves it, so must catch up.

4. Chocolate with a caramel center - (a book that made me feel all gooey while I was reading it)
Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris - As I've told you before this woman has the ability to send you the most amazing places. This book made me dream of France and be sentimental about things in life (how cheesy)

5. Wafer free Kit Kat (a book that has surprised me) 
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - My surprise comes from the fact that I didn't think I would like it all. Turns out, the book is pretty good as it caputres your attention and doesn't bore you until the very end.

6. Hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows (a comfort read)
I believe any John Green book would do here, especially for me - Looking for Alaska.  His books are very light-hearted and humorously written and could always pick me up when in a bad mood. 

7. Box of chocolates (a series that has a wide variety and has a little something for everyone)
Well I think that everyone here would I agree that, without doubt, it's A song of ice and fire by George R.R. Martin.  I don't even feel the need to explain myself here and all of you who has read it would know what I mean. All the different characters and places create a whole new world in which everyone can find a place. Basically, it's everyone's must read.


Now, exuse me while I go to buy some chocolate! :)
 
   

Bridget Jones's Diary

I have extremely mixed thoughts on this book. I gave it three stars, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm not one hundred percent negative about it, though.
First of all, I actually enjoyed reading it - it is a fast read for sure. It is funny and easy to read. But. The characters were so annoying I can't begin to explain it. I don't know who 30 year old (or more) woman would behave so childishly. And I know that you're supposed to relate to her and the situations she encounters and I do. But I'm 19 and somewhere along the book I realised I'm more serious and responsible than her. I know that's the idea of the character - to be silly and funny, but sweet, but she was only irritating to me. 
Another awful character was her mother and their sick relationship. Bridget was constantly compainling about her and not realising she is just the same. I don't know, maybe I take things too seriously - it's just a book after all, but I had to express my annoyance. The male characters were fine actually, espascially that Mark Darcy dude.
The actuall story was nothing impressive too in particular. It's basically a diary about an year in her life in which she tries to lose weight, improve her career and so on but fails greatly. 
You have to agree that the book is not an absolute master piece, but I actually enjoyed it (having in mind that I read it very quickly). It is definitely one of those books which you read without much thinking and which actually manage to pull you off your own world and problems. In my opinion, the idea of the novel is to show that every woman encounters basically the same problems - weight gain, problems with friends and boys, etc. and that, much like in the real world, not everyone handles them calmly - just like Bridged who is a total nutjob.
Also, I'm really looking forward to watching the movie as I heard it is better than the book- not that I believe this is possible. :) Do you have any thoughts on the book or the movie?
