Hello all! Hope you're all enjoying the summer! I'm currently on holiday in a huge castle in the South of France and enjoying relaxing, playing games, and of course reading a lot! Today's post is a review of a dreamy summer romance that's perfect for your holiday TBRs! Title: A Sky Painted Gold Author: Laura Wood Series: n/a Pages: 356 Publisher: Scholastic Date of Publication: 5th July, 2018 Source: Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads: Growing up in her sleepy Cornish village dreaming of being a writer, sixteen-year-old Lou has always wondered about the grand Cardew house which has stood empty for years. And when the owners arrive for the summer - a handsome, dashing brother and sister - Lou is quite swept off her feet and into a world of moonlit cocktail parties and glamour beyond her wildest dreams. But, as she grows closer to the Cardews, is she abandoning her own ambitions... And is there something darker lurkin...
Hey everyone! I'll be back with a review in the next couple of days hopefully but today I thought the Top Ten Tuesday topic was fun so I'm taking part! Here are my Top Ten Character Names That I Loved!
1. Cricket Bell. Right, so he's from Lola and the Boy Next Door and at first I hated his name and thought it was stupid - I mean who would think Cricket was a good name? But as the book went on and he got more adorable, the name completely suited him and although I still think it's weird, it kinda fits and I actually really like it!
2. Plutarch Heavensbee. He's from Catching Fire and Mockingjay, and I just think his name is great! I love how there are so many names of Greek (Plutarch) and Latin (Caesar, Seneca) origin in The Hunger Games trilogy, but Plutarch Heavensbee was my favourite, I think.
3. Laureth Peak. I've just finished She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick and I laughed at how she was named this. Also her little brother's raven, Stan, too.
4. Blossom Uxley-Michaels and Petrina-Ola Olsen. I've put these two together because they're from the same book, Weirdos Vs Quimboids by Natasha Desborough, and because I love them for the same reason - just look at their initials! ;)
5. Bennett Cooper. I don't know why but I just loved that he was called Bennett. Time Between Us is also an adorable book and I kind of fell in love with Bennett so perhaps that has something to do with it...
6. Pippi Longstocking. Her name is just the best :P
7. Augustus Waters. It's a good name, that one! Again of Latin origin, which makes it even more awesome. I love Latin!
8. Aurora "Rory" Deveaux. Rory is the main character of The Shades of London series by Maureen Johnson, and although I generally think of Rory as a boys' name, I do really like it. Also the name Aurora is really pretty and reminds me of one of my favourite characters in Animal Crossing, so it's a pretty good name I think :P
9. Etienne St. Clair. It's just such a good name.
I can't think of a tenth name that I particularly liked so I'll leave it at nine. On the whole I like most character names, unless I don't know how to pronounce them in which case they're just annoying. On the other hand there are a few names I can think of that I really hate but for fearing of insulting people I won't share them :P Thanks to Broke and Bookish for hosting Top Ten Tuesday!
