BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
As always, I have wanted to read this for a short time. So to avoid revision I dug myself into this! And it’s such a lovely thorough story, and that’s because of the joint effort from the authors! There writing put together just made such a beautiful and enlightening story! Shockingly it only took me a few days to read it, considering the size of it!
Beautiful creatures is about Ethan, a boy who...

THIS IS NOT FORGIVENESS.
I found this book in my local Waterstones. I mainly saw it because of how colourful and vibrant the cover is. And when I read the blurb I was definitely interested. However, with being poor at the time, I could not buy it! Although a trip to my local library came in very useful as a found a copy there! So fear not, if your skint just go to the next best thing; the library.

UGLIES
When I first saw this book in my local library I was 11 years old, and I avoided it. Mainly because of the front cover – it freaked me out a bit. 4 years on and I can’t believe I didn’t read it. It’s a pretty good book, considering the theme’s it surrounds itself with. This book should be the endorsement for ‘It’s okay to be who you are!’ Or that how I saw it!
Uglies is about a futuristic world,...

BEFORE I DIE.
I’ve wanted to read this book for ages mainly because my friend kept going on and on about it and when I asked ‘Can I borrow it?’ She said ‘No, it’s on my Kindle.’ That’s another reason that I should never buy one of those. However, I’ve only really got round to it, because it turns out my local library isn’t that bad, It just lacks material.
When Tessa finds out she’s only got so many months left...

ENTANGLED.
I came across this book when me and my friends were doing a Waterstones rummage. We basically sit on the floor of the store, and look at the books on the bottom of the shelves, and see what looks good. That’s where I came across Entangled. It looked like an interesting read, and it had me wondering, why is this book so small? It’s only 372 pages, and yet it holds so much. How can that be...

THE HUNGER GAMES.
I first heard about these books many months ago, due to all the excitement about finding out who our Katniss was. And after I did a little research and found out what the fuss was all about, I was hooked! And that was before I had even read the books. I then bought them as a little birthday gift for myself, and read them all in a space of a week. And what the best week of my life that was!
When...

DIVERGENT
Divergent is something that has been in my head on my ‘need to read list’ for a while. I think that’s due to the Spotify adverts they used to play constantly advertising the book. I’m glad they did though, or I wouldn’t have pushed myself to go out and get it! I was a bit unsure at first because of the amount of adverts. It just made me think that either this book was really bad and needed a lot...

SKIN DEEP
I love Waterstones. I have to say since joining their read for free club I have found so many great new books that haven’t even been published yet. One of my newest finds is Skin Deep by Laura Jarratt. It get’s released 5th March of this year, and is the first novel by Jarratt, and I have to say it’s brilliant.
Skin Deep is the story of Jenna, a girl who gets into a car accident which kills two...

PANDEMONIUM
Pandemonium follows the story of Delirium in a brilliant way, which makes it the perfect sequel and it’s even better than the first! It’s even more dangerous and darker than before, and you can’t help fall in love with it. It still has the themes of romance, sadness, action, and adventure, but now adds a sense of normality to it, which gives it the darker feeling. I managed to get myself a copy...

DELIRIUM
I can’t even put into words how much I love this book and the fact that there are two more books too come, makes me love it even more! I found this book through Goodreads and also because I have read one of Lauren Oliver’s novels and I have to say this is one of my favourites of hers. Her story is beyond beautiful, and one the most heart breaking stories I have read in ages.
Delirium tells the...

THE DESCENDANTS.
The Descendants is a brilliant novel to read. It turns something that people see or have to deal with every day and make it seem much more real; gives it more emotion. I had heard about this book through the TV adverts they had been playing constantly, and thought I would give it a go. (Also, it was in my local ASDA store for £3.99 so that gave me the extra push!)
The Descendants is about Matt,...

LAST BREATH.
I absolutely love Rachel Caine and the Morganville series, but this book was a bit of a letdown. Yes, it had the humour and romance but it didn’t have that sort of spark and edge like her usual books, and I was definitely expecting more.
In this book Claire has to deal with many things; Eve and Michael’s engagement party, her boyfriend Shane, and of course, the new dangers that are threatening...

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER.
I first discovered this book when I was looking for new films that looked promising – Yes; I am also a film buff. And I must say this story is life changing. It gives you this new perceptive and how things should be and what they are.
Stephen Chbosky tells the story of Charlie, and how he is trying to deal with his life. He has problems everywhere and doesn’t know how to fix them. When he starts...

STEALING PHOENIX.
Joss Stirling is a wonderful British author. Her books are hugely enjoyable and somehow she has created this world in which I would love to live in. I have previously read her book ‘Finding Sky’ which was fabulous, and so I was delighted to find out she had written another. She has created this world with powers that only certain people have and a family of beautiful boys. What more could you...

CLOCKWORK ANGEL.
Clockwork Angel is the 4th book by Cassandra Clare that I have read and she has not let me down! She has lured me with the story, seduced me with her characters and in the end made my heart break in two with the ending. How she does this with all her books is a secret worth telling!
Clockwork Angel is the story of Tessa, a girl who travels from New York to London in hope of finding her brother....

BEFORE I FALL.
When I picked this book up, I originally thought it was something else. Something else I was dying to read, but it turns out I had gotten the titles muddled up. Even when I had gotten home and checked out the book on Good Reads it turns out I had actually placed this book in my To Read library the day before. So even though it wasn’t my intention to get it, it was still a stroke of luck that I...

UPDATE!
Okay, so I have nearly finished ‘Before I fall’ and hope to finish it by the end of this week, so look out for a new post! Things have been a little crazy with school and work, so getting time to read hasn’t been great! Anyway, look out for something new, and message me with any requests of books you want me to read, or think I should take a look at! See you soon!

LOCK AND KEY.
My friends have been telling me to read a book by Sarah Dessen for ages and I decided to listen to them – for once. I always believed she was one of those writers that her books were too mature at a young age and too silly at an older age. But I was wrong. There was something about her writing that keeps me intrigued. I wanted to know more about her story that she’s trying to tell.
Lock and Key,...

THE SCORPIO RACES.
I always knew Maggie Stievfater wrote beautiful stories, but I was not expecting this! With her writing I always get this sense of knowing what to expect – The way she writes, the styles she uses etc… And again I felt this with her newest novel, but as always, she surprises me with the ending! How she manages to do things with no such effort I will never know! But now I guess you’re...
Hello!
Hi guys! Emily here. Welcome to my blog all about and around books! I’ve been trying to persuade myself for months to do this, but today is finally the day when I listen to myself. Maybe its because of that gust of inspiration I’ve gotten today! Who knows? Many people may think I’m strange for creating something like this, but it really is the only thing in my life I am and have...
