My Favourite Things No. 5: Little Miss Sunshine

THIS IS AMAZING. just to say.

Sheryl is the stressed and tired mum of 2 kids (Dwayne and Olive). Dwayne is the typical, oh-so-moody-I'm-all-troubled-and-really-angry-at-everyone teenager, who has taken a vow of silence until he becomes a pilot (which is his dream). Her daughter, Olive, is obsessed with beauty pageants. She will do anything to win (although she's 7). Then there's Sheryl's brother, Frank, gay and now living with the family after he tried to commit suicide. Richard's (Sheryl's husband and father of Olive) motivational speaking plan never seems to take off. And then, finally, is Edwin-Richard's rude, cocaine-taking dad who got kicked out of his care home.

When Olive finds out that she got entered into the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant in California the whole family have to set off in their rickety old campervan, to get there. In two days.

This is such a great movie. The characters have such great chemistry, and I loved Abigail Breslin as Olive-the cutest little thing! Really sweet, feel good laugh out loud movie. It's so funny and amazing and the characters are so good, i could watch this a thousand times over without getting bored.

My Favourite Things No. 4: Ally's World by Karen McCombie

Allys World is a series consisting of 14 books, all written from 13 year old Ally's point of view. They are all dedicated to her mother, who left them to travel the world, in case she ever comes back and wants to catch up on the lives of the Love's. The Love family is seriously weird. So there's her artsy mum who's gone off travelling the world, her dad (who's the only normal one), her seriously neat freak sister Linnhe , her glitter obsessed sister Rowan and her animal crazy brother Tor. These books tell the story of Ally's life, just as she sees it.
The Ally's world books are so amazingly sweet. I love them because she's relatable too, with an annoying family that she has to deal with, and her own friends so its just really easy to read and like her. Theyre so sweet and lovely and just make me smile so much whenever i read them so yeah, give them a try!

My Favourite Things No. 3: Airhead: Runaway by Meg Cabot

!SPOILER ALERT FOR AIRHEAD AND BEING NIKKI!

Em's new life isn't turning out as great as she hoped. First, she found out that the real Nikki is still alive in another persons body, then she broke Christopher's heart all because of Brandon Stark (who has now taken her hostage in some amazing island. fun.)
Then she has to take part in the Stark Angels Fashion Show, which she has been against her whole life.
Oh yeah, and Em needs to find out why Robert Stark tried to kill Nikki before Brandon does.
Or her whole life is going to collapse.

Runaway is actually my favourite book of all the Airhead trilogy (which is hard to pick). You get the romance, but the plot has the action and suspense which makes it so readable. its the type of book that you dont want to put down because its so good! i know i always say it but buybuybuy!

My Favourite Things No. 2: Airhead: Being Nikki by Meg Cabot

SPOILER ALERT FOR AIRHEAD! SPOILER ALERT FOR AIRHEAD! 

So. Em Watts has had a brain transplant. Into the body of Nikki Howard. In case you didn't know, Nikki Howard is world's hugest teenager, most famous model ever. Now Em is stuck with Stark, and can't leave the modelling world (because Stark saved her in the first place). 

Now, Nikki's family starts to catch up with her. Nobody told her that she actually had a family,  so its a bit of a shock when Steven (Nikki's brother) turns up out of the blue and tells her that their mothers gone missing. Then the guy shes in love with is in love with her. The real her. The dead her. So while he's pining away over Em, he can't figure out that she's been in front of him all this time. And Christopher, well, he wants revenge on Stark for killing the girl he loved most (but never bothered to tell her that when she was still alive. Because he hadn't realised it). Not just that, but Brandon, Gabriel and Justin (ew) still want her. Oh yeah, and Em's just realised how evil Stark really is. 

this book literally has it all! and it ends with such a good cliffhanger that made me cry. everything about them is so amazing, you can 'connect' with the characters and yeah! so please read!

My Favourite Things No. 1: Airhead by Meg Cabot

Em Watts is anti Stark, make up, heels and Nikki Howard. So it comes as a big shock to her when she ends up as Nikki Howard-literally. She's next to Christopher one moment, then BAM, she's in a hospital and looks in the mirror, and staring right back at her is the worlds biggest teenager. So now she is worlds top model-every girls dream. Yeah right. Em now has to deal with every guy who sees her instantly falling in love with her at first sight apart from the only one she actually cares about. Then there's Lulu, and Brandon, and Frida-worlds most annoying tween sister. Can she still keep her connections with her past life...or leave it all behind?

I LOVE AIRHEAD. It's just so, well, lovable. Em is funny, likable and mature, a type of heroine I haven't seen in a while. I fell in love with Christopher as well (book crush no:1) and Lulu. They are perfect together, Em/Nikki and Lulu.

You get to see the perfect mix of Em and Nikki's lives, which is really enjoyable. Also, there are some moments when I couldn't stop laughing and some where I wanted to cry for Em. It's such a good book so buy it, like, now.
