okay but waking up in the middle of the night to soft rain and knowing you’ve still got hours to sleep, when you’re toasty warm and comfortable & sleep has made you forget all your worries and responsibilities and u go back to sleep feeling as content as ever

Freebie, anyone?  It's not easy being friends with rising rock stars - especially when you're the glue that holds them together. Razes Hell has taken off in the charts, and Ellie can't believe her childhood friends, Drew and Jason Brooks, are on TV and drawing crowds after years spent playing in dodgy bars. From obscurity to overnight success, Ellie soon realises life in the public eye isn’t all it’s cracked up to be as dark secrets become headline news and old conflicts are re-ignited. When a fake feud meant to boost the band’s popularity threatens to rip the boys apart for real, Ellie finds herself torn – a position which only gets more uncomfortable when her loyalty to Jason collides with her blossoming relationship with Drew. Nobody knows how deep their issues run; nobody but Ellie. With friendship, a music career and a new love on the line, can Ellie keep their tangled pasts from ruining their futures?

Every bad word I’d read or heard about me came rushing to the forefront of my mind. All the people who had called me a whore, who had said I was a liar, a fantasist, a deranged fan girl. It hit me all at once and my stomach jolted, my head starting to pound at the insanity of it all. The strength I’d held onto for the last few days was starting to slip, my fingers desperately clinging on by a fraying thread.

I wasn’t what he said. I wasn’t. I knew that.

I knew it.

I took in a long breath and let it out slowly before turning to face, not only Theo, but Harry and Derek too. Their eyes were all fixed on me. I hated that my hands were shaking. I hated that I knew when I spoke, there would still be a quiver in my voice. But I still wasn’t going to let him belittle me.

“Liv, I’m so confused. I liked him. I wanted to sleep with him. But if I was drunk, so drunk I can’t remember what happened… what does that mean?”

I’d read stories online. Way too often. Stories about girls who had wanted to have sex with a guy but had been too drunk to consent. They couldn’t remember if they’d consented. But what if the guy couldn’t remember either? Was that what happened to me?

“I don’t know, babe. I mean… you said yes, right?”

“I have no idea.”

My mum’s voice made me look up from my coffee cup. I hadn’t realised I was crying again until my mum’s face crumpled and her own tears fell. She took the Styrofoam cup from me and placed it on the table beside me then sat down in the chair next to mine, wrapping me up in her arms.

“It’s going to be okay, sweetheart,” she whispered. “I’m here.”

I clung to her, wishing I could be a child again. Back to when my parents could fix everything bad that happened to me.

Now, though? All she could do was hold me and hope nothing else happened to shatter me any further, and all I could do was try to keep hold of all the broken parts of me, and pray I had enough strength left in me to keep them from falling down around me.

How To Read More (Part 2)

I am back with the much-anticipated, highly-awaited part 2 of my “How to Read More” blog post.

This summer I increased my reading rate, and read so many more books! I love reading, and I want to share tips with others who love it just as much.

Tip #1: Read Multiple Formats At Once

Some people don’t like to read multiple books at once, some people can’t focus on just one for more than a few days. I fall in the latter category. I like to read a ton of books at once, and I recently discovered that I like reading different formats (Kindle, hardback, paperback) in different settings and situations. At bedtime, I usually prefer my kindle. At home, I don’t mind a nice hardback. When I go out, I either want my kindle or a short paperback. Try exploring books in different formats.

Tip #2: Use the Extra Minutes in Your Day to Find Time for Reading

One thing that really helped me increase my reading this summer was reading during my commute. I had a very long commute on public transport (in my case the metro), and I tried to use this time to read. I finished many books on the metro. I also tried to use my lunch time to read. Literally, read whenever you can. 

Tip #3: Read in the morning

In my last post about reading more, I talked about the importance of reading before bedtime. But now I’ve begun something new, reading in the morning. This is now part of my morning routine. This is an especially great time to focus on self-development and growth. One book you could read is the Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod, which actually talks about why you should read in the morning. My only caution about this is to make sure you set back up alarms in case you fall asleep while reading.

Tip #4: Use Books/Reading as a Reward

Looking to reward yourself for doing something great, or just being an awesome human being? Buy a book! Need a reward for finishing a book? Buy a book! Need a break from studying? Reward yourself for the time spent studying, with time spent reading something you enjoy. Use books and reading as rewards.

Tip #5: Buy books when they are cheap

Of course, I always recommend using the public libraries, but sometimes people want to own the books. Some people, like me, enjoy having their own personal libraries. Anyone who collects books knows it is an expensive hobby. One of the ways to mitigate this cost is to buy books at thrift stores, at used bookstores, at library book sales, and to look for deals on Kindle books. I am a sucker for a good deal, and much more likely to take chances on books when they are highly discounted. I use Bookbub, a website that sends me daily e-mails with kindle book deals to snag books at the best possible price.

I hope this post inspired you to read more! Don’t forget to check out Part 1 here.

Sometimes, to those who are not avid readers, it may look like we spend way too much feelings with fictional characters. It may look like we care more about people who don’t even exist than about the ones who are right next to us.

Maybe, if I could explain my experiences to everyone of this opinion, they would understand. It is not about caring more, it has never been, at least not to me. It’s just safer to invest my feelings into a fictional character than it is with actual people. I do care more about real-life humans, that’s natural, but I know I cannot just instantly develop feelings for them. Because people are unpredictable and, for that reason, can be dangerous. Choices turn people into angels and demons and everything in between, but there is no way we can tell for sure who is what.

On the other hand, characters are not like that at all. Of course it depends on the book, but sometimes we read about one’s whole life, we get to know their strengths and their flaws, what they would and wouldn’t do.

That’s why I never thought of investing my feelings into fiction as a detachment from reality, or hatred towards real people in general. To me, it has always been a way to protect myself. It is my way of feeling without having to worry, it is my way of feeling without having to hold back.

**4 DAYS UNTIL RELEASE**

"Again, I found myself questioning who I was. How I was viewed. It had never mattered to me, but maybe it should have. Maybe if I’d toned myself down a little, all of this stuff wouldn’t have happened. I idly lifted my hand up to my hair – my always brightly coloured hair. Maybe I should have ditched it. Should have gone back to my naturally dark hair, and worn less make-up. Less out there clothes. Blended in with everyone else to avoid people’s judgements.

The thing was, though, I never did any of those things with the intention of standing out. I’d done them because I wanted to. So many people don’t do the things they want to, even something as simple as colouring their hair. They don’t allow themselves to try something new out of fear of what people will say. Perhaps if I had a little more of that in me, I wouldn’t be so alone." https://www.authorkyralennon.com/
