Book Review: Are We All Lemmings & Snowflakes? by Holly Bourne

Holly Bourne has been one of my favourite authors for a while now. I have read most of her books and I get so excited when I see a new one has or is coming out.

Netflix Binge Watch: Bates Motel

The Bates Motel come out in March 2013 but I have only just started watching it. It consists of five season each containing 10 episodes. This programme drags you right into it from the beginning with the first episode someone dying.
