Sugar Snap Dreamer: All the Hopeful Lovers - William Nicholson
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/01/all-hopefule-lovers-william-nicholson.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Saturday, 7 January 2012. All the Hopeful Lovers - William Nicholson. I perhaps shouldn't admit this but before picking this up I didn't pay much attention to the author and so it surprised me half way through to realise it was a a male author. The tone and style just seemed to echo a female mind - he writes from both the male and female perspectives, his characters are eclectic and very real. There ...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: Before I Go To Sleep - SJ Watson
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/03/before-i-go-to-sleep-sj-watson.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Tuesday, 27 March 2012. Before I Go To Sleep - SJ Watson. I rarely actually give a book a star rating, but for SJ Watson's debut I would give it 5/5. It was excellent. The back cover doesn't give much away, only giving one solitary sentence as to what the book is about, so you really aren't sure what to expect when you start reading. Labels: Before I Go To Sleep.

Sugar Snap Dreamer: Me Before You - Jojo Moyes
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/04/me-before-you-jojo-moyes.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Monday, 30 April 2012. Me Before You - Jojo Moyes. I opened this book with great expectations. My Mum had rated it 6/5, unheard of! It is a wonderful heartwarming story, focusing around the relationship between Lou and Will. And who should Lou be caring for? None other than the rather delicious Will Traynor, who after being victim to a horrific road accident is a quadriplegic. A part of the book that...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: Books I have struggled to finish…. Part 2
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2011/06/books-i-have-struggled-to-finish-part-2.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Friday, 10 June 2011. Books I have struggled to finish…. Part 2. The book started off brilliantly, and I was thoroughly enjoying it- discovering all about the equipment that was required for some events, what criteria was desired to participate, the training needed etc…it was fascinating. Even more so when we learn that Bane cannot swim and is still determined to take part in the Alcatraz s...Fingers...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: When God Was a Rabbit – Sarah Winman
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2011/06/when-god-was-rabbit-sarah-winman.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Friday, 17 June 2011. When God Was a Rabbit – Sarah Winman. There were 2 things that made me pick this book up off the shelf, the unusual title being one of them and the fact I’d read a good review about the book in a magazine. However, what an absolute breath of fresh air. This is Sarah Winman’s debut novel and I already cannot wait to see what she produces next! This isn’t a warm and fuzzy st...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: Everything & Nothing - Araminta Hall
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/02/everything-nothing-araminta-hall.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Thursday, 2 February 2012. Everything and Nothing - Araminta Hall. Being her debut novel, Hall clearly had a lot riding on her first book. It wasn't a bad effort either, that may sound harsh but it wasn't the best book I've read and neither was it the worst book I've read. So, I suppose that's it- the book made me frustrated. And I suppose you could say that if this was Hall's intention then she ...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: The Help (film)
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2011/11/help-film.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Tuesday, 1 November 2011. With eager anticipation I popped to the cinema last week to see the film adaptation of the massively popular book, The Help. The cinema was packed out with other excitable female enthusiasts, all sitting there holding our breaths hoping that we would not be let down. Would it go down the path of Chocolat or the route of The Memory Keepers Daughter? It was unbelievable. T...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: Only Time Will Tell - Jeffrey Archer
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/02/only-time-will-tell-jeffrey-archer.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Friday, 17 February 2012. Only Time Will Tell - Jeffrey Archer. This book will grip you from the moment you pick it up. Fantastic. Having never read a Jeffrey Archer book before I did not know what to expect, but I was massively surprised. We follow young Harry from a young lad, right through to when he is 19 years old. He is the main focal point to the book and what a great character. You ar...He co...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: The Moment - Douglas Kennedy
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/04/moment-douglas-kennedy.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Friday, 20 April 2012. The Moment - Douglas Kennedy. I started reading this before going away skiing, I wanted a book that would keep me going on the flight and coach journey- having read all of Douglas Kennedy's previous books I thought I was in good hands. Douglas tells the story of Thomas Nesbitt- an solitary American travel writer- who ends up in Berlin during the reign of the wall and the confli...

Sugar Snap Dreamer: Like Crazy (film)
http://sugarsnapdreamer.blogspot.com/2012/02/like-crazy-film.html
The anonymous ramblings of a London girl escaping from daily humdrums in the world of film, tv and books. Thursday, 2 February 2012. Did you know that Felicity Jones started off in Radio 4's The Archers? This is a little fact that I found out after seeing Like Crazy, and for some reason this makes me like her even more. The rest of the film is played out in L.A and London, we slowly watch both Anna and Jacob try to get on with their lives but equally struggling. Trying to keep a long distance rel...I rea...
