Hello!
So last week i haven't been all that well, and that meant spending the whole week in bed and reading and finishing books.
I read two whole books during this week (which i am pretty proud of) so i thought i would show you what i have read and what i am looking forward to reading.
So to start off with is An Abundance of Katherine's by John Green and I am pretty sure you will know him in some way or another.
I am yet to read this one but i am really looking forward to it and i will definitely give it a review along with all of the other books featured here that i haven't read yet.
Now this book will come as no surprise to you if you know me, but this is Book at us Now by The Midnight Beast.
This was really a jokey kind of annual where they just told their story about what gave them fame, and what has happened during that year. This is a few years old now but it is really funny and if you know who they are and like them, get this book you will love it, and if you don't know who they are, go check them out!!
Alot of you probably know this book from the film that came out in 2004 (here) but if you don't here it is!
It is a good story that you can relate to, like most of Ally Carter's books, it is also something that will make you laugh and will make you cry at some points, but it just shows what you can do if you really want to do it!
Definitely recommend to people wanting to try out a new book, especially if you are a young teen (like i was when i read it).
This is actually the most recent book purchase i have made!
I saw alot of review online about this book and John Green himself spoke about it on the back cover, i love his books so i thought if he thought it was good, it must be good!
I will post a full review when i have read it later on in the year.
This is a story, again, by Ally Carter. I actually got this free with Shout! Magazine about 3 or 4 years ago when i still used to read those tween mags, deary me.
The first book of hers that i read was really amazing so i am really excited to give this one a go when i have time!
I will definitely post a full review of this later in the year but it looks like a really good story!
This is one of the books that i read last week when i was ill. It is a really beautiful story which involves all the emotions.
The chapters are different from any other book as they are each titled "one hundred days before" or "12 days before" and then after the thing that happens (which i cannot tell you as it would ruin the whole book) it goes on to say "5 days after" etc.
It is a really captivating story which i would say is targeted for teens and into their twenties, it just makes you want to real more and more, that's why i finished it within 24 hours of starting it, it just doesn't let you put it down!
I would highly recommend this to anybody, especially if you have read a John Green book before, this book will not let you down.
This is the second book that i read last week, i finished this on Thursday afternoon, after picking it up on the Wednesday morning.
This is such an amazing book, it has 3 main parts to it, and part 2 is by far the longest. During the parts 1 and 2 there are numbered sections throughout, however in the last section there are hourly parts, all counting up to the 20th hour.
It is really good and once you get into the first part, you will not be able to put it down for the whole of that part, you just keep wanting to know more.
John is also going to be making a movie for this aswelll as The Fault in our Stars, which im expecting to be released sometime next year.
Last but definitely not least is The Fault in our Stars by John Green. A couple of my friends have also read this book and we all agree that it is such a good book, its one of the best i have ever read, and the other to follow is also by the same author.
I read this book over a year ago now and i am just about to start reading it again ready for the release of the movie in June, which by the way i am extremely excited about!
This made me cry and smile and every emotion, it also made me think about it for days afterwards, which shows that it was truly a really amazing book!
It was also very personal to me as the main character of the book suffered with the same disease as my Nan.
I read this book in about 6 or 7 hours when i was off school ill, early on last year and its always been the favourite book ever since, except from Paper Towns which has recently leveled with this in the favourite box.
Have you read any of these books?
If so which is your favourite?
Cheerio!
