<h3>
<u>Mini Review</u></h3>
<u><br /></u>
Five stars! This was beautiful, thought provoking and completely different from what I originally thought it was going to be. Although parts of the plot were dramatic and shocking you always felt like it could be a true story. That was such an important aspect of the book because if it didn't feel real it wouldn't be as powerful. This story could have been happening in my local estate which is perhaps why I found it so poignant. Please, please, please read this book you won't regret it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Thoughts and Musings</u></h3>
I can count on one hand the number of books that after reading them have made me want to put pen to paper and just write. About what I thought, what I agree with, what I disagree with and all thoughts that have been triggered as a result. Therefore, the fact that this book made me want to write says an awful lot about it.<br />
<br />
Firstly, I want to talk about some of the marketing and the promotion associated with this book. I loved how creative it was. The author Steven Camden is a spoken word poet I have loved spoken word poetry ever since I was first introduced to it (Thank You Colleen Hoover for your masterpiece Slammed). So Steven wrote a poem introducing his book to his followers and I will link his poem right here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOAEliDq0U">It's About Love- Introductory Poem</a> Please watch it because it is amazing.<br />
<br />
So the title. It's About Love. I have never read a truer sentence, and reading this book makes the meaning of that even clearer. Because everything is about love. Every emotion, decision, and action stem from love. Not just Romantic love but love for your family, friends, literature, art, music, maths whatever. Anger, hatred, passion- all are aspects of love. All of these things make us human. Isn't that one of the main points in Lauren Oliver's book Delirium? Without love, we are nothing but shells of human beings. Merely going through day to day life with no purpose or no meaning.<br />
<br />
Love is an aspect of the human condition and perhaps the only thing that connects every human being that is or ever was alive. This book demonstrates that so perfectly. There is no pretentious flowery language. No overly complicated plot. You don't need someone to go through it with you to help you understand it. It is accessible which encompasses the message of the book. It doesn't matter if you are a rich kid from the right side of town or someone from the local estate whose brother just got out of jail. Everyone is bound through love.<br />
<br />
The journey of self-love that Luke is on in the beginning follows every kind of love imaginable. Despite a few cliches, this was a fantastic book. In fact, it inspired all of these philosophical musings on love and its omnipotent presence etc. Also, I am not one to be this impassioned about love.<br />
<br />
Please share your thoughts because I would love to hear your opinion.<br />
<br />
Talk to you again :)<br />

<b>"Apparently I'm boring. A nobody. But that's all about to change. Because I am starting a project. Here. Now. For myself. And if you want to come along for the ride then you're very welcome.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Bree is a loser, a wannabe author who hides behind words. Most of the time she hates her life, her school, her never-there parents. So she writes.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But when she’s told she needs to start living a life worth writing about, The Manifesto on How to Be Interesting is born. Six steps on how to be interesting. Six steps that will see her infiltrate the popular set, fall in love with someone forbidden and make the biggest mistake of her life.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>From the bestselling author of Soulmates comes a fearlessly frank take on school, cliques and crushes."</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Yet again Holly Bourne has produced a book which has exceeded all of my expectations and blew me away! I cannot wait for new releases from this author in the future. I love this book! It was so much more than the usual coming of age story; it is incredibly moving and so relevant to issues prevalent in today's society.<br />
<br />
Bree has the courage to do what so many others are too scared to do- she changes. She changes her looks, personality and even her friends all in a quest to become a more interesting person. Bree is such a relatable character and whilst reading you feel like she is speaking directly to you about your school and your friends.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to read and review Holly Bourne's first book "Soulmates" and although this book was very different they are equally as enjoyable and well written.<br />
<br />
I cannot say anything more than READ THIS BOOK!!! I give it an easy 5 out of 5 and believe me when I say I will be recommending it to everyone I know.<br />

<b>"Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn't prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants—but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage. </b></div>

I was lucky enough to be sent an advanced copy of this book by Lovereading.co.uk and I am so glad because this is the sort of book I wouldn't necessarily pick up on my own. I am not a thriller sort of girl- I mean I get scared watching Hocus Pocus- but this was absolutely amazing and I am so glad I read it because it was such an incredible read! Also the fact that it was a book by Becca Fitzpatrick also pushed me to read it because I love the Hush, Hush series.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
Twist after twist after twist. This book was so suspenseful and completely unpredictable. I loved the complexity of the story line and how you could trust no one. I don't want to say too much in case I give any of the plot line away. But I will say it is a must read! My favourite character was Britt because she was so strong she even surprised herself. And Mason is by far the most cryptic well put together character I have read in a long time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yet again another amazing book from Becca Fitzpatrick, author of the best selling Hush, Hush series. Easily 5/5 stars! I hope there are many more books like this to come from her in the future. </div>

<b>"Twelve thousand years ago, they came. They descended from the sky amid smoke and fire, and created humanity and gave us rules to live by. They needed gold and they built our earliest civilizations to mine it for them. When they had what they needed, they left. But before they left, they told us someday they would come back, and when they did, a game would be played. A game that would determine our future.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This is Endgame.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>For ten thousand years the lines have existed in secret. The 12 original lines of humanity. Each had to have a Player prepared at all times. They have trained generation after generation after generation. In weapons, languages, history, tactics, disguise assassination. Together the players are everything: strong, kind, ruthless, loyal, smart, stupid, ugly, lustful, mean, fickle, beautiful, calculating, lazy, exuberant, weak. They are good and evil. Like you. Like all.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This is Endgame.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When the game starts, the players will have to find three keys. The keys are somewhere on earth. The only rule of their Endgame is that there are no rules. Whoever finds the keys first wins the game. Endgame: The Calling is about the hunt for the first key. And just as it tells the story of the hunt for a hidden key, written into the book is a puzzle. It invites readers to play their own Endgame and to try to solve the puzzle. Whoever does will open a case filled with gold. Alongside the puzzle will be a revolutionary mobile game built by Google’s Niantic Labs that will allow you to play a real-world version of Endgame where you can join one of the lines and do battle with people around you.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Will exuberance beat strength? Stupidity top kindness? Laziness thwart beauty? Will the winner be good or evil? There is only one way to find out.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Fast paced, action packed, addictive read! This is mystery, action and part treasure hunt all in one! Also the clues throughout the book make it an interactive experience that is unlike anything else. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This book was so exciting and the multiple points of view made it even more intense! Also, there was no one character who was my favourite which was interesting as in this sort of "fight to the death" situation you would expect there to be one main character that I would like but there were so many characters I liked.<br />
<br />
The clues in the book was such a clever idea as they sent you all over the internet from watching videos to reading articles it was so much fun because you felt like you were a player in the book too!<br />
In sort I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to everyone!<br />

This will be pretty self-explanatory every week I will pick a category and tell you my top five in that category.<br />
<br />
This week I am going to look at my top five favourite New Adult books and/or series. My only reason for this is because I feel as though New Adult isn't as talked about as it really should be so without further ado lets get started!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><u>1. The Book Boyfriend Series by Erin Noelle</u></b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b><u><br /></u></b> I love this series so so so much I mean lets be real who doesn't have a book boyfriend (if not multiple boyfriends I will happily admit I am a total book boy slut I will steal them and keep them all if I could). This is a fantastic story of how two book nerd best friends venture out into college and decide to set a challenge to meet and/or date all the different kinds of book boyfriends eg. rockstar, surfer and of course the all-American, boy next door etc. This book is funny, sexy and fun! I highly recommend this series for someone who doesn't mind a <strike>few</strike> lot of sex scenes.<br />

<h3>
<u>2. The Wanted series by Kelly Elliot</u></h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ6XC1njLZ-PgUsJZ2IlXMdIjzz8t06hZGFl5_u5rEWj7ososkRfcYiuVaacOBpYP2Ssze_UVSB125XoniBLebbCltnEafXWYPDiHyRCnZFw5LKzsV4zkxBvYdLEa7mncpb0ezm55FU2I/s1600/wanted.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ6XC1njLZ-PgUsJZ2IlXMdIjzz8t06hZGFl5_u5rEWj7ososkRfcYiuVaacOBpYP2Ssze_UVSB125XoniBLebbCltnEafXWYPDiHyRCnZFw5LKzsV4zkxBvYdLEa7mncpb0ezm55FU2I/s1600/wanted.jpg" width="133" /></a>If you have followed my blog for a while, it will be no shock to see this series included as I have raved about it a lot! I did a whole post on the series a few months back which you can <a href="http://everyoneneedsabooknook.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-wanted-series-by-kelly-elliott-talk.html">see here</a>. If you like any country romance book you will love this series! In fact, I can no longer read any other country/ranch based romance cause it will always come second to these books. I talked about book boyfriends above and I can promise you there are some cracker book boyfriends in here! Basically, it is a series that follows a girl called Ellie and all of her friends and her brother. It's sexy, funny and also a tad sad in a non-depressing way. It is a brilliant book but be prepared for some sex scenes</div>

The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley</u></h3>
<div>
</div>
<div>
IGNORE THE TITLE! I know it sounds stalker-ish and kind of creepy, but honestly this is the sweetest book ever! If you were giving an award for best boyfriend in literature Liam would get it. Although 95% of this book is pure adorableness be aware that this does cover abuse/ rape but it is not graphic at all!!!!That is all you really need to know this is a beautiful book that is fan-flipping-tastic!!!</div>

My best friend actually got me hooked on this book and I am so glad she did! This book is so incredibly funny and very sexy. The main guy in this book is so so hot and the girl is by far the funniest sweetest girl in any book I have ever read I swear I want her as my best friend. This is a really good book with a couple of brilliant twists throughout and I cannot recommend it enough!</div>

<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
A girl follows a band on tour instead of getting a job whilst her friend blogs about said band and the girl meets and starts to date the lead singer of the band. Sound realistic? Of course not but that is half the fun of this book! It is ridiculous and funny and just such an easy read that I love so much! I highly recommend this if you're looking for a fun light read.</div>

<b>"Darcy Patel has put college and everything else on hold to publish her teen novel, Afterworlds. Arriving in New York with no apartment or friends she wonders whether she's made the right decision until she falls in with a crowd of other seasoned and fledgling writers who take her under their wings… </b></div>

<b>Told in alternating chapters is Darcy's novel, a suspenseful thriller about Lizzie, a teen who slips into the 'Afterworld' to survive a terrorist attack. But the Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead and as Lizzie drifts between our world and that of the Afterworld, she discovers that many unsolved - and terrifying - stories need to be reconciled. And when a new threat resurfaces, Lizzie learns her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she loves and cares about most."</b></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">The only thing better than one great book is one great book inside a fantastic book!!!This was so original and exciting. The book never really slowed down as when Darcy's story line was not very exciting Lizzie's story was enticing and vice-versa.</span></div>

I thought Darcy was such a refreshing protagonist I loved how she noticeably matured throughout the book however I still think she has more growing up to do-Seriously Darcy, be more careful with money! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is incredibly difficult for me to pick a favourite story line within the book but if I absolutely had to choose it would be Darcy's as it was her point of view that help me become invested in Lizzie's story. Also as someone who wants to get into the publishing world I found Darcy's story so interesting if not a little frightening</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!!!</div>

I have decided to start a new series on this blog in which I highlight books and/or authors that I feel are under appreciated. Also seeing as I am from Ireland I feel like I can showcase some books that are lesser known in other countries.<br />

<h3>
1. Soulmates by Holly Bourne</h3>

I have already reviewed this book and you can read my<a href="http://everyoneneedsabooknook.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/soulmates.html"> full review here</a>, however I still feel as though not enough people have read this book. Holly Bourne has an amazing way with words and makes you fall in love with all the characters in the story. This book is a modern tragic love story with all the ups and downs you'd expect. There is also aside story of two researchers/scientists that runs in alternate chapters throughout the book. In the second storyline of the scientists we hear how this relationship will only end up in disaster however, you as a reader still keep hope until the last few pages. This is a fabulous book which I highly recommend!</div>

Yet again I am aware I have raved about this book several times prior to this but it still doesn't take away from the fact that this is an INSANELY good book! With the amount of dystopian novels appearing at the moment I can see how it may get lost in the crowd but with a plot as original and exciting as this it would be a damned shame if this book didn't get the hype it deserves! This book not only has a rich and exciting plot line but also has the most interesting character development I have ever read! I do have a fuller review of this book which you can see <a href="http://everyoneneedsabooknook.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/all-our-yesterdays-review.html">here</a>.</div>

I know she is very well known in the UK and Ireland but outside of here she is never talked about and that has to change! She is an amazing writer who is not afraid to deal with hard hitting topics despite her target audience being middle grade and young teens. Through her books I have been reading about abuse, bullying, self image issues, coming out, mental illness and so much more from a fairly young age. Because of this I believe I have turned into a more understanding person and I owe a lot of it to Miss Wilson! If I were to suggest a few books of hers I would suggest: Kiss, My Sister Jodie, the Girls series and Diamond Girls. But really you can't really go wrong with any of this woman's books.</div>

This is such a surprising series I picked up the first one expecting not to like it that much but ended up loving it and the second book is one of only a handful of books that have literally moved me to tears! The series follows a group of friends who attend a well off school in Dublin, the first book follows Alex who is the daughter of emotionally distant rock star Dad and still struggles with her Mum's death. That's all you need to know it is best to go into all these books with little knowledge of what they are about. Trust me give this book a chance and you will not regret it because it just sucks you in and keeps you entertained from start to finish.</div>

<br />
Opening any Stephanie Perkins novel is like opening a ray of sunshine. They are the perfect feel good read and I can't stop smiling the whole time I am reading them.<br />
<br />
Isla and the Happily Ever After is the perfect conclusion the Anna and the French Kiss series. If you haven't read the first two books in the series you can still read Isla and the Happily Ever After however it may include some spoilers for the first two books.<br />
<br />
This book is very different from the other instalments of the series as the majority of the book is following the actual relationship between Isla and Josh rather than the build towards the relationship; because of this book is so much cuter but also so much more aggravating than the other two instalments. Though the story can be aggravating I love it because it shows the real trials and tests within a relationship.<br />
<br />
My favourite thing about this book was it wasn't purely about Isla and Josh's relationship it was about how their relationship helped them grow as people and helped them discover who they really are.<br />
I loved this book as it is yet again another fantastic novel by the queen of contemporary- Miss Stephanie Perkins!<br />

He can’t even speak. Maybe it is because he can’t speak that she finds herself telling him how difficult it is living with her eccentric, mentally fragile mother.
Behind Chris’ lopsided grin and gigantic blue wheelchair is a real person — with a sense of humour, a tremendous stubborn streak and a secret he has kept from everyone.
For a while it seems life may actually get better. But as Jo finds out just how terrible life is for Chris, and as her own life spirals out of control, she becomes desperate to change things for both of them. In a dramatic turn of events, Jo makes a decision that could end in tragedy.
This is the story of how an unusual friendship unlocks the words that neither knew they had."
</b>This heart warming tale of friendship is a fantastic feel good book.I loved this book and how it played with the so called normal aspects of friendship and turned it on it's head. The author did a fantastic job of making a severely disabled boy relateable to everyone. I must applaud the author for dealing with the two very touchy subjects of disability and mental illness and showing how no matter what people can live full and happy lives as long as they are cared for and listened to.
This was a fantastic novel that highlighted how even when helping others we must take time out to look out for ourselves too. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.</pre>

<b>This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies keep her from enjoying many of the experiences that other teenagers take for granted...which is why she is determined to enjoy her first (and perhaps only) high-school party. But Lily's life never goes according to plan, and after a humiliating incident in front of half her graduating class Lily wishes she could just disappear.</b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<b>Suddenly Lily is in a different Salem - one overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women called Crucibles. Strongest and cruellest of all the Crucibles is Lillian . . . Lily's identical other self in this alternate universe. This new version of her world is terrifyingly sensual, and Lily is soon overwhelmed by new experiences.</b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<b>Lily realizes that what makes her weak at home is exactly what makes her extraordinary in New Salem. It also puts her life in danger. Thrown into a world she doesn't understand, Lily is torn between responsibilities she can't hope to shoulder alone, and a love she never expected.</b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
A must read fantasy adventure of different worlds, witches and war. This addicting first in the Worldwalker trilogy is thrilling and already has me counting down the days until the next installment.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Magic, romance and doppelgangers- what more could you ask for? </div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Lily is torn from her own world to a new one where she is no longer a sickly teenager but a powerful rival to the Lady of Salem, Lillian (aka Lily's other self.)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
I absolutely adored this book and the world Josephine Angelini has created where magic is abundant. The idea of parallel worlds is not new but this book makes it feel different and exciting. I loved how in the world of New Salem magic is used in replacement of electricity, plastic and science itself- but is that a good thing? Through the use of multiple view points it is very hard to see what is right and what is wrong which makes me even more eager for the next book.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
The use of romance in this book was cleverly done in a way that only adds to the main plot line rather than distract. I applaud Josephine for finding the perfect balance of romance in a Y/A fantasy novel as other examples have proved how crucial that is to writing a truly great story.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
I highly recommend this book to everyone and I cannot wait until 2015 when Trial of Tears (the next installment) is released.</div>

I read both of these books back to back and I will say they were both fabulous! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Read this series asap!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is such a funny, funny series that I love! I love all of the Martin family and I applaud Maureen Johnson for writing two truly fabulous books.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was a great easy, fun series to read and I highly recommend it. Maureen Johnson did a wonderful job at developing the characters in a way that made the reader feel like they were friends with them. Honestly, the characters were my favourite part of the whole series; Mrs Amberson is so eccentric and you have to love her and Spencer is hands done my favourite character! But we cannot forget Scarlett who was a brilliant lead as you could see her grow and mature as the book progressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another thing I love about this book is how it showed how real families act. I, like the Martins, come from a big family and I can say Johnson hit the nail on the head when it came to dealing with the family dynamics. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also, these books are outstandingly funny! I had to set them down a couple times because I could not see the pages as I was crying with laughter. One thing I was not overly fond of was the romance in either book though I have to say I am team Max all the way!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a great contemporary series that will have you laughing and leave you feeling great! However, I have to warn you that the ending of Scarlett Fever was not satisfying and I am praying that Maureen Johnson will come out with the next book asap because I am not at all ready to leave the Martins just yet!</div>

The book is released in June 2014 and I highly suggest you put it on your wishlist.<br />

<span>This book was so incredibly funny that on multiple occasions I had to put the book down just to laugh.<br />I loved how this book was filled with modern pop culture references that made it so relatable. The two points of view were brilliant I love Sam and Hannah so much; they are so down to earth and unbelievably funny.<br />My favourite thing about this book was that it was so relatable. I could see myself and my friends in these situations, I worried about the same things and I loved that. I read this book in one sitting which I very rarely do.<br />This book is a must read, it stands apart from anything else I've read and is probably the funniest book I've ever read.</span></div>

I don’t know about you but so many times I’ve heard a song
that reminds me of a particular book or when I’m reading a book one song keeps
playing in my head. I feel that sometimes a song can be so similar or relevant
towards a certain book. Here are some songs I’ve come up with that remind of a
book. I will link the song in case you haven’t heard it before. Let me know
what you think and any other suggestions because this may become a series.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was lucky enough to be sent this book ahead of publicatiton by lovereading.co.uk and if you want any furthur reviews check out the website closer to the release date of May 2014.<br />
<br />I loved this book! It was high tech, action packed and everything a dystopian should be!<br /> <br />This book starts of with faced paced action and goes up from there. My favourite part of this book was how believable it was; the technology seemed to be only a few steps ahead of our own and because of that it made it all the more exciting.<br /> I realy liked how Mila's back story was revealed slowly and added so much to the story. The fast pace of te novel was brilliant and the constant switch of view points helps give a rounded story that keeps the reader guessing.<br /><br />

Even though I really did love this book there were some minor let downs. I did not like the ending as I think it could have been so much more and I didn't think it was right for such and exciting book to have such a bland ending.</div>
<div align="left">
Also personally I did not like the mild romance that occured it felt a little forced and in my opinion added nothing to the story. But having said that I loved this book so much and I highly recommend it!</div>

I don't know if there is anything similar out there but if you like it feel free to do it then link your version in the comments so I can check it out.<br />

<ol style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you jealous</u>- For me, it would have to be <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie
Perkins</i> because I want to be Anna; I want to go to a boarding school
in France and have those amazing friends and go out with St. Clair.<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you angry</u>- Definitely <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher</i>. The way people treated
Hannah was horrendous! The ending especially pissed me off because that
A$%^£!&* knew and did nothing- It just made me so cross because stuff
like this happens everyday sadly and just hearing one story made me so
cross.<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you happy</u>- <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sophie
and Carter by Chelsea Fine</i> even though both characters have tough
lives and a sad story line the love story is so sweet and pure and lovely
that it just makes me happy to read.<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you cry uncontrollably (so much so that you had to get
someone to try and calm you down)</u>- You know I don’t cry at books often
but one book that has made me cry every time I read it so much so I had to
get my Dad had to come in and calm me down was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Second Chance Summer my Morgan Matson</i>!<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you laugh out loud</u>- <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lobsters by Tom Ellen & Lucy Ivison</i> I actually marked
every time I had to put down the book because I was laughing so much- there
were 18 markers for that never mind all the times I chuckled inwardly.<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you feel confused</u>- <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Catch 22 by Joseph Heller</i> I didn’t study this in school so I
didn’t have a teacher to ask whether or not it was supposed to make sense.
Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it but the dialogue and characters are so
random it’s just a weird confusing book to read. I was so confused I actually gave up half way through... whoops!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you laugh and cry</u>- I’m going to go with the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wanted series by Kelly Elliot</i>
although I never actually cried I did tear up a few times which is a lot
for me because I don’t typically cry at books. Then I always found myself
chuckling especially in the third book!<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that inspired you</u>- <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dash
and Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan</i> I love
the story of how they met and ever since reading it I’ve just wanted to do
something similar like an experiment or something just to see how much fun
and happiness you could get from one notebook filled with dares!<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that made you hopeful</u>- This was actually really difficult but I
settled on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Perks of Being a
Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky </i>because even though this book made me
feel a lot of emotions the one that prevailed was hope. Charlie was this
quiet kid with mental health problems and despite everything he went
through he still managed to have this amazing group of friends which just
shows how there’s always a silver lining! <u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>Name
a book that left you satisfied and gave you closure.</u>- I decided to
choose a stand alone rather than the last book of a series because I think
with series you almost always want a little more whether it’s a novella or
the story from another P.O.V. The Stand alone I chose<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stolen
by Lucy Christopher </i>because I don’t feel like I need anything more
from the story as far as I know there’s no plans for a companion or sequel
and I’m completely fine with that.<u><o:p></o:p></u></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><u>What
book made you feel all the feels?</u>- <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Book Thief by Markus Zusak </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
found the writing beautiful and poetic and hopeful at times. Some of the
stories were sweet and funny and then there were the obvious
heartbreakingly sad moments. It was just a rollercoaster of emotion. </li>

<br />
<br />
WOW! This book is just incredible and up there as one of my favourite dystopian novels ever. The world is crazy and that ending! Anyone who even mildly likes the odd dystopian novel will love this book! It is a must read!<br />
<br />
<br />
I will admit I thought this would be incredibly similar to Divergent or The Selection however, this stands out as an incredible story which is so cleverly written. I loved all the technology weaved throughout the storyline; it just made the story all the more interesting.<br />
By far out of all dystopians I have ever read this is the craziest government of them all. Also as most of the ordinary of people are nationalist, it made the government all so much scarier as they had so much control.<br />
Silver is just kick ass! She is so clever and utterly reckless that I found myself holding my breath for her.<br />
<br />
After that ending I am already counting down the days until the next instalment of the series comes out. 5/5 stars<br />

<strong>"Mike doesn't get why people think he's boring. Sure, he doesn't have many friends. (OK, zero friends.) And everyone laughs at him when he reads his essays out loud in class. And he's never invited to parties. But one day Tschick, the odd new boy at school, shows up at Mike's house out of the blue. He dares him to go on a road trip with him. No parents, no map, no destination. Will they get hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere? Probably. Will they meet crazy people and get into serious trouble? Definitely. But will they ever be called boring again? Not a chance."</strong></div>

Despite being very slow to start this book was so good. After you pass the 50 page hurdle you fly though the book. I would love to go on a road trip like this any day.</div>

I loved how realistic this book felt even though it was also completely absurd. I mean obviously two 14 year old boys will know how to hotwire a car, drive and change the license plates to avoid getting caught. Yes, it is a little far fetch but I love the ride it takes you on.</div>

This road trip was amazing. I love how they meet the craziest people and managed to et themselves out of some sticky situations. Overall this was such a fun read that I highly recommend.</div>

Here are the books I read in Feburary:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Silence by Natasha Preston</li>
<li>Broken Silence by Natasha Preston </li>
<li>The Book Thief by Markus Zusak</li>
<li>Shattered Promises by Jessica Sorensen</li>
<li>The Madness by Alison Rattle</li>
<li>Seven Devils by Sara Danvers</li>

<li>Why We Took the Car by Wolfgang Herrndorf</li>
</ol>
I was very proud of this and I hope I can get further ahead next month because in April and May I'll be revising like crazy for GCSEs and will be lucky to read 2-3 books in those months.<br />
<br />
I did mini reviews of the first six of these books so <a href="http://everyoneneedsabooknook.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/several-quick-reviews.html">click here</a> if you want to here my thoughts on those.Smurrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05882448738690714525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502629402865870891.post-85892974048538445182014-02-20T07:44:00.000-08:002014-02-20T07:44:02.494-08:00Several Quick ReviewsYet again my Internet is not working on my not so good laptop, therefore I am very behind on reviews lately. I managed to "borrow" (aka hijack) my Dad's computer so I am going to quickly tell you what I've been reading and some quick thoughts on the books.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><u>Silence by Natasha Preston:</u> I loved this book so so so much especially since it was FREE on Amazon Kindle(and still is btw<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silence-Natasha-Preston-ebook/dp/B009SV1YCU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392909863&sr=8-1&keywords=silence+natasha+preston"> here's the link</a>). This was unbelievable, the development of the romance between Oakley and Cole, without any speech between the characters, was so well done. Keep in mind that this book does deal with sensitive issues so be aware of that going into it. Amazing book, 5 stars READ IT NOW!</li>
<li><u>Broken Silence by Natasha Preston:</u> This is the sequel to <em>Silence,</em> in my opinion it isn't quite as goo but it's still deserves 5 stars. It deals with some of the affects of the situation Oakley found herself in at the end of <em>Silence</em>. I know that's really vague but I don't want to give anything away in this series it's just too good!</li>
<li><u>The Book Thief by Markus Zusak:</u> You have no idea how annoyed I was that I couldn't do a full review upon finishing this book. I can't go into too much detail because I'll miss things out that I want to say and I just won't be able to do a review good enough to do this book justice. Just know this, this has joined the incredibly short list of books that actually made me cry. That says a lot in itself. Believe all the hype around this book it is truly as good as everyone says if not better.</li>
<li><u>Shattered Promises by Jessica Sorersen:</u> I read this book on a whim at one in the morning. It was very good however, I think the author should have spent more time building the world rather than having the main characters having heavy make out sessions every five minutes. Despite this it was good and I will continue on with the series. I am also going to read <em>Fallen Star</em> which, from what I can gather, is a Y/A version of the same story. I may do a comparison of the two and then continue whichever series I prefer. But I'll keep you posted</li>
<li><u>The Madness by Alison Rattle:</u> Talk about a tragic story. This was really good but so tragic at the same time. I have written a full review for lovereading.co.uk which should be published early March just ahead of publication so go over there if you want my and others views on this book.</li>
</ol>
<br />
That's me all caught up, you can see my Goodreads page (linked on the sidebar) for star ratings of these books and you can keep up with what I'm reading. Have a great day :)Smurrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05882448738690714525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502629402865870891.post-8036232935923181982014-02-05T11:32:00.001-08:002014-02-05T11:32:07.120-08:00Books I read in JanuaryThis month was pretty good I am on target with my goodreads target. This month I've read 5 1/2 books which was oretty good as I had some family drama at the start of the month that meant I couldn't read. Neverless tis is what I read in January:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><u>The Lying Game</u> by Sara Shepard</li>
<li><u>Pride and Prejudice</u> by Jane Austen</li>
<li><u>The Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson</u> by Paige Toon</li>
<li><u>Grasshopper Jungle</u> by Andrew Smith</li>
<li><u>Never Forget</u> by Emma Hart</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And 1/2 of Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Those are all the books I read in January. I highly suggest them all. I hope you have a great day. </div>

As you may know I am a huge fan of listening to music while I read, in fact I almost always listen to music. I get so excited when a book has a playlist or suggested songs for each scene. I also have a specific playlist of songs I like to listen to when I read.<br />
<br />
However, I was reading <i>Silence by Natasha Preston </i>and I felt as though I shouldn't listen to music while I read. This book focuses on a girl who stopped speaking at the age of five, and I felt that because she was silent I should be to. I know that sounds strange but this book also has some serious issues and I thought it would almost be disrespectful to have my attention on anything else. In fact every time I picked up this book I consciously turned off any music.<br />
<br />
I think that listening to music can enhance the world of the story and send the reader into a bubble so to speak. However, I am now questioning whether or not to change this view.<br />
<br />
What I was wondering was if any of have ever felt the need to devote all of your attention to a book. I know that some people are dead set against listening to music at all when reading but I want to hear everyone's point of view.<br />
<br />
Please let me know your opinions or if I'm a weirdo who over thinks things.<br />
<br />
Bye have a nice day.<br />

<br />
<br />
This has something for everyone; sci-fi, apocalyptic aspects, LGBT aspects, humour and so much more. I feel as though any fan of Micheal Grant or David Levithan would love this book!<br />
<br />
This book was really original, I've never read anything like it. Even though I liked it I get the feeling that this book is like marmite in that you'll either love it or hate it.<br />
<br />
The narrative is interesting in that among the main action we often switch to other side aspects of the story which come to affect later. This did confuse me at first but after a couple chapters you forget the unusual story telling.<br />
<br />
This book was really funny as Austin is sarcastic and you end up developing inside jokes. I also loved how Austin was very blunt nothing was sugar coated and he said everything that was on his mind.<br />
<br />
Also, being the nerd I am, I loved the history elements throughout where we learn more about his family and relationships with Shann and Robby.<br />
<br />
Overall I would say that no matter what this book is worth looking at.<br />

I was lucky enough to be sent an advanced copy of this novel by lovereading.co.uk. This book comes out in February 2014 and I sincerely hope you'll check it out.<br />
<br />
This was a perfect feel good read; it was light and funny but also had some deeper stuff woven in as well. The hint of romance in this book was very well done and felt real.However, I would not go in to this book expecting a love story as there are so many more elements than that. The heart of the story was about family and we gradually see Jessie's journey upon finding out about this new family.<br />
<br />
I love Jessie so much she is so genuine and down to earth. I really enjoyed how she was developed throughout the book and quickly became a character I truly love.<br />
<br />
I am already counting down the days until the next installment of Jessie's story and I'm sure you will be too.Smurrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05882448738690714525noreply@blogger.com0
