I realise I have neglected this blog for a very long time! But fear not, I've got my writing bug back again after a few setbacks, and I'm ready to blog again.I'm still waiting on my copy of 'Soldier for a Summer' (by Sam Najjair) to arrive from Amazon . Once it does, I will hopefully start reading it right away to prepare for my review. I might also do another beauty post, I'm still using a lot of trusty products, but have tried, or added a few more into the mix that have either helped, or hindered! I will give my honest opinion on those products very soon. I have even thought of mixing it up a little and maybe doing some food blogging.
I am also off to the Eurogamer Expo in London's Earls Court later this month. I might not be able to take a lot of photos due to me not being a member of the press, but I can at least review my visit, and decide whether or not its worth visiting next year or not. It will be my first time at a convention, and I'm so happy it's a gaming convention. It's right up my street and I'll be nerding out over everything! Looking forward to trying out Batman: Arkham Origins, Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and Lego Marvel Superheroes. I'm hoping to get Grand Theft Auto V not long after it's release date, but I need to replace the hard drive on my PS3 first. It's an 80gb fat model, but it really doesn't have enough storage space, so I'm opting for a 500gb hard drive to replace it. It seems easy enough to replace, and I'll be following an instructional video, plus I read a lot of reviews of people who have also replaced their hard drive and it's been fine afterwards. It's my only choice really, since a new PS3 is out of the question due to cost, so I may as well prolong the life of the one I already have.

I've just ordered a fantastic new book by an Irish-Libyan man named Sam Najjair from Dublin who fought in the Libyan revolution. The first and only book I read about the revolution was'Colonel Gaddafi's Hat' by Sky News reporter Alex Crawford. It was a great read and one of only a few books I have actually bought, instead of just borrowing from the library. One of the reasons I also bought 'Soldier for a Summer' is because someday when I'm married with kids, these books will live on, and my kids can read them. I am someone who is very interested in history, and for my children this will be part of their history. Also for a long time there was literally nothing coming out of Libya, and if there was, it was all Gaddafi approved. There could be no books speaking against him, or any free press who could print whatever they liked. It was all a huge propaganda machine.
If you are interested in this book, you can listen to a fantastic podcast that was aired on radio in Ireland on 04/09/2013, you can listen to the interview here.
If you would like to buy the book, this is the link to buy from Amazon.
The review will be up once I've read it. I won't be rushing so it could be a few weeks. I also have the Eurogamer expo coming up later this month in Earl's Court, London, for which I will also post a full review. Thank you for reading!
