Carrie Hope Fletcher is often referred to by viewers of her YouTube channel, 'ItsWayPastMyBedtime', as an "honorary big sister". Why? Her fun videos which any teenager could relate to. She offers advice on a range of topics such as confidence, friendships and romance. When Carrie announced she was releasing a book which is described as 'wonderings and reflections on growing up peacefully', I was really excited to get my hands on a copy. All I Know Now (a book with the same title as her blog name) is her videos and blog in book form; and it is wonderful.

The book is sectioned into chapters which are called 'acts', linking to Carrie's theatre life as she is in Les Miserables in London's West End. There is also an 'interval' page in the middle of the book to let me know I was half way through, a unique feature I love. The book covers such a wide range of topics, from friendships, internet safety and simply feeling good and happy about yourself. If you need any advice on surviving the teenage years, you can find it in this book.

I've been watching Carrie on YouTube for a long while now (she was actually the first YouTuber I watched) and I think her personality really comes across in the book. Her illustrations are amazing - they help to bring a touch of Carrie to the book. Her little anecdotes of her own experiences made me giggle along the way too!

Once I got to the end of the book I was disappointed... only because I wanted to keep reading! I'd love Carrie to bring out a sequel of some sort one day. If I ever have a problem I know I'll now be able to go to Carrie's book for advice. The book is generally aimed for teenagers, so if you're a bit older it may not be the book for you, but since it is described as how to "grow up gracefully" this should come as no surprise.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Carrie's book if you have read it. Or if you have any suggestions of what I should read next, please comment below as I'm looking for something new to read now!

Today I decided to answer some questions of The Music Tag. I love music so I thought it would be a really fun tag to do!



Which band/artist do you own the most albums by?
I think definitely McFly... they have been going a lot longer than most bands I like therefore have released more albums - 5 studio albums, and that doesn't count the greatest hits and singles I have by them!

What was the last song you listened to?
Whilst I'm writing this, I'm listening to Bloodstream by Ed Sheeran, so I'll have to say that. Bloodstream is one of my favourite songs at the moment!

What was the last concert you attended?
I went to see The Vamps recently (read my review of it here). It was absolutely fantastic.

What was the greatest concert you've ever been to?
I have been to so many great concerts. The first McFly concert I went to a few years ago sticks in my mind as I came away from that concert amazed. The Vamps concert I went to a couple of weeks ago was also amazing, we had such good seats since we won them and I went to the soundcheck and meet and greet to so I have to say that was the greatest for the experience! 

What's the worst concert you've ever been to?
I can't honestly say I've ever been to a bad concert so I can't really say... I've never been to a concert I haven't enjoyed!

What concerts are you looking forward to?
I am looking forward to going to see McBusted in August in my hometown, and also for seeing One Direction in October; I'm very excited for them both!

Which musician would you like to hang out with for a day?
McFly! I'd love to meet them so much as they are my favourite band (along with The Vamps) and to spend a whole day with them is such a dream

What is one band/artist you've never seen live but really want to?
I would love to see Ed Sheeran live. I've heard he's great live and I don't doubt he is, so I'd love to go and see him if he tours again in the future.

Name four (or more) flawless albums:
No Sound Without Silence - The Script, Meet The Vamps - The Vamps, Motion In The Ocean - McFly, Four - One Direction, X - Ed Sheeran & 1989 - Taylor Swift. 6 of my absolute favourite albums!

How many music related DVDs do you own?
I own One Direction Up All Night Tour, One Direction: This Is Us, One Direction Where We Are tour, The Vamps tour DVD, McFly Wonderland 2005 tour and McBusted: Tourplay. Not that many but all of my favourites!

How many concerts have you been to in total?
I have been to 11 concerts in total - The Saturdays, McFly, Olly Murs, One Direction, James Arthur, McBusted, One Direction (again), The Vamps, The Script, McBusted (again) and The Vamps (again).

Who have you seen the most live?
If you count McFly and McBusted as the same people (which they are, McBusted is McFly and Busted joined together) then I'd say McFly. I've also seen One Direction twice and The Vamps twice.

I'd love to know what you'd like me to post more of, fashion, music, beauty, or about me style posts, so I would really appriciate it if you voted in the poll at the side of my blog. Also, I'd really like to hear some of your answers to the music tag questions in the comments below and thank you so much for 60+ followers!!
