Number 5: City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Image result for city of bones bookOK, so this one's kind of true... When I first started to read, this book was recommended to me and I didn't enjoy it at all. I didn't get passed the first chapter. This being said with the arrival of the film, I read it again and it is now one of my favourite books. 








Number 4: Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent (Divergent, #1)So like City of Bones, this is another one of those books that I really disliked and didn't pick it back up. I just remember it being stuck under my bed for months until I finally picked it back up again. The rest is history...









Number 3: My Mad Fat Diary by Rae Earl

My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary (Rae Earl, #1)This is a current one that I have not finished although I do intend to continue reading this but I have other books to read first...










Number 2: Lord Of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien 

The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3)This book is the bane of my existence... I have attempted to read this book twice and I just can't do it. The thing I still want to read this one because I want to experience the joys of this world and want to watch the films. I think I just need to find the right time. 








Number 1: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin 

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)To be honest I still want to read this one and I did only get 25 pages in. I also want to pick this one back up but I don't have the time for it at the minute. One day...

See you soon,

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary. Being busy in my time, I have been really selective in the books that I pick up so for me: the shorter, the better. And when picking up shorter books, the less likely they are to be YA. The more I am exposed to more books, the more I get to read books that I connect to Some of the books that I have picked up have really surprised me because of how much I ended up enjoying them. I think as I grow older, I am looking for different stories, different experiences and different perspectives. These don't just fit the YA mould. I also have been really into different genres like horror and the occasional thriller which have not read from before and I'm interes

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman  Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over.  The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s
