Top 5 Wednesday: Gateway Books

It’s Wednesday so that means that it’s Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is top five gateway books. To find more about Top 5 Wednesday’s you can join the Goodreads group and discover the creator of the group Lainey but is currently being curated, by Samantha. I haven't done this for a while so this will be interesting but anyway, let’s get started…

Number 5: The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak

This book is a great way to get into to almost adult fiction. It has been a hugely popular book for a while now on booktube but in general after a film was made a couple of years ago. It is also one of my favourite books so is worth a read!

Number 4: The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

This book is often considered to be both YA and adult so therefore it is a good gateway book especially if you really fantasy books.

Number 3: The Opposite Loneliness by Marina Keegan

The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories

Being a combination of non-fiction and fiction stories, The Opposite of Loneliness is a wonderful book that deserves to be read by everyone and is just a great book. It has a youthful tone which definitely bridges the gap between adult and YA.

Number 2: Nimona by Noelle Stephenson

I love this graphic novel and it often has a YA writing style that is quite different to others of this genre so is great for those who want to try a new genre.

Number 1: The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger

When I first started to read this book, I honest thought that it has a similar tone to those of John Green so is the perfect book for anyone who wants to read more classics.

See you soon,

Female Representation in Harry Potter: A Transcription

Considering this keeps gaining attention, I just wanted to clarify that I no longer support J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series. I'm not sure why people are clicking on this but, the views in this post do not reflect my current views and I only posted it on my blog so that it could be shared as not many people came to the event when it first happened. So later today, in 2 hours I am going to be doing a presentation on Female Representation in Harry Potter for my university's Harry Potter Society and I thought some of you may be interested in what I had to say. I also respect that people may disagree with my views on the subject and understand that this is not the only opinion you can have. So here it is... Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming! Today I am going to discuss female representation in Harry Potter books and films. The aims of this presentation would be to introduce you to the fact that female representation in Harry Potter may not be what it seems. So you

6 Year Blog Anniversary

Every year I forget when my blog anniversary is even after six years! I know that it is in June but it is today the 15th of June! A lot has happened in six years when I started this blog. Before my first blog post, I was going to university later that summer. Now I have a BA and MA degree! And I have tracked my progress all the way. It's a bit emotional to think about it!

They have tripled in a year! I think this might because I have linked my blog on my job application and CVs so if you are a recruiter, Hi! In other news, I have loved seeing the change in my content and hopefully see my writing progress and I hope that this continues.
