Number 5: City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

OK, 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

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...

What are some of the books that you didn't finish? Leave them in the comments below.

See you soon,

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
