Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (review)
What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong? Frances has always been a study machine with one goal, elite university.

There are so many movies that were firstly books, but there are also a lot of movies that were simply turned into movie because of an original screenplay.

My June bullet journal spread
One of my hobbies is having a bullet journal. I used to love art in school so it has made me enjoy being artistic again. I haven't done art since Year 10 (2012) and I really loved it but I had to do food tech instead for Year 11 and 12. My theme for June is space/galaxy.
