I am very pleased to announce that A Novella's Tale is now mobile-friendly! Yes, that's right! No more waiting for the page to load for a decade, or not being able to read that super-cool font... If you have an iPhone or a smartphone, the blog will look slightly different from the normal one, but you don't need to worry, because it's still the same blog, just with a different look :) Anyway, enjoy!

Renamed!

Hey Guys,

The name of this blog has been changed to "A Novella's Tale". So if you were gonna type up the old URL, stop for a bit and try to remember that the name has been changed. Just in case you have forgotten, I will keep up the old website (which is pretty much blank now) to redirect you.

I'm really sorry if this causes any problems!!!

W.I.P

Aloha,

I am in a good mood, so I will be spending some time 'rejuvenating' Unrequited Desire. Cool, awesome, amazing, jaw-dropping, inspiring, fantastic features will be added throughout this week (enough said!). So sorry if things are a bit messy for the week, as it is a... Work In Progress!

So make sure you stay tuned!!!

The Hunger Games - movie

There has been A LOT of buzz regarding the casting of the well talked about 'The Hunger Games' film. I'd just like to let out in the air who I think should be cast as the two main characters:

• Katniss Everdeen

Emily Browning

Emma Roberts

AnnaSophia Robb

• Peeta Mellark

Chord Overstreet

Lucas Till

Austin Butler (wow that's too creepy...he looks so much like Chord Overstreet)

Teen's Utopian Society!

I've recently started a new group on Good Reads... Teen's Utopian Society!!! Please check it out :D

A Change In Appearance

Hello Everyone,

Just to let you know, I have just simply changed the theme of my blog. (In case you think you went on a different blog, that's all.)

Thanks!!!

I'm Back!

Currently I'm steadily making my way through the chunky novel, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. And god, it's taking ages! Okay, maybe it's because I'm ultra busy with homework (or I'm spending too much time on GR), but I am finding the plot to be moving as fast as a waterfall. As in, it's moving waaaay too fast for my liking.

To be honest, my favourite book in The Hunger Games series is undoubtedly the original and the first: The Hunger Games. It is a fact that first books are typically the best out of its series, and in this situation it certainly proves its case.

Even though I have my obstacles, I will get through to the end.

Some day...

Where Do I Start?

"Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop." -- The King Of Hearts.

The big question is... Where do I begin? I'm not quite sure in which direction this blog will be going. Will it be focussed entirely on reading, or more?
So far, I am aiming to roll together reading, writing and philosophy into one blog (which is definitely a weird combination, but I think it could work)!

There's a flaw in The King Of Hearts' theory though. You don't always have to stop. I am not going to stop. I'm going to go on and on and on, 'till... Well, I'll think of that later.

Anyway, please stay with me to travel into the dimensions of sensational novels, awe-inspiring writing tips and baffling philosophical questions!
