John Green's books give me life...

Hello!

I wanted to take the time to confess my love for John Green's writing... A little strange, but until you read just one of his book, you will not understand :P

Lets take a trip into my past...
Last year some time I was in PCG (home room) at school and my friend Emily told me that she was reading this amazing book called 'The Fault in Our Stars' by this guy, John Green. I thought, eh this isn't a book I'd enjoy since I tend to read books about dystopian worlds were the characters lives are at risk from some fiction event. But I decided that it might be nice to read something different for a change, so I bought the book and began to read. I personally don't read too fast, maybe a book in 2 weeks if I like it; but this book I read in just one week. It was incredible and amazing, and I was left wanting more.

So what else could I do to satisfy this 'want' of mine, than to read another of John Green's books... or should I say masterpieces?

I read 'Paper Towns.'.. In 3 days... It was so good!! The tale of a boy pining for a girl who has disappeared mysteriously, leaving clues for him to find her. How could someone not be intrigued by this, 'cause I certainly was! I even convinced my little sister to read it and she loved it just as much :D

Next was 'Looking For Alaska', which again, was MAGICAL! Learning the life of an average teenage boy at a new boarding school, where he meets a cool bunch of friends who include him. Then each of them destroyed emotionally when tragedy strikes, and they learn to cope with what's happened and learn life lessons. This book was so emotional and I loved it! One quote that stuck with me from 'Looking For Alaska' was "If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane" which is so powerful and shows the power of love.

Anyway, the point of this post was to bring to your attention the brilliance of John Green and his books. If you haven't read them, read them. If you have read them, read them again. They're too good to not be read.

JOHN GREEN'S BOOKS GIVE ME LIFE :)

Great Reads!

Hi guys! 

Books! There's so many of them in the world. Some funny, some action, some sad and a some are romantic. Sometimes you just can't work out which book to read because there are so many you want to read, but so little time! 

That's the situation I'm in right now. I've got a book to read for school, books to read for myself and books to read so I can talk about them with my friends, and the list just keeps getting longer...

So I thought I'd write out a list of books that I have loved reading, or in the middle of reading, so you can start making your list! :) 

First, The Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. This is one of my favourite series due to the fact it is sort of futuristic, it's full of action, it's romantic and it mysterious... Everything I personally look for, all in one book!! You'll start reading it and you'll just refuse to put it down, PROMISE! But one strange thing is that it is a trilogy, yet there is actually 4 books... Strange huh?! Hehe. The books in order go: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure and lastly The Kill Order. The last book is actually the prequel to it but you should definitely read the others first! 

Second is the I Am Number Four series by Pitacus Lore. These books are great! They're action, sci fi and romance, where things get intense in all 3 of those categories... If you saw the movie for the first book you'll know how amazing the plot is, and when you combine an amazing plot with great writing and another 3+ novels what could be better! The books in the series are I Am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine, and The Fall of Five. They are amazing! 

Thirdly is Divergent of course, by Veronica Roth! I was a bit late to the craze of this book but I jumped in with full force after reading the book in a whole 3 days! Now I'm not a fast reader so you can see how much a read each day to finish it in that short amount of time! I'm half way through the second book, Insurgent, which I can say that I'm thoroughly enjoying and I can't wait to read Allegiant!  

Fourth is probably the most chilling of all, The Power of Five series by Anthony Horowitz. This is a great book for those of you who like novels which make you wonder how the author thought of it. It can give you shivers in some parts but also give you a sort of adrenaline rush because your so involved in the characters lives! There are 5 books: Raven's Gate, Evil Star, Nightrise, Necropolis and Oblivion. They are quite large books but well worth it! 

And lastly, the one and only... The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I'm only just starting this but I can see what all the rave was and still is about! It's amazingly written and is very interesting. I can't really say much else about it since I'm only on chapter 2... I should really get on with it shouldn't I ;) 

That's all for now, hope this helped in giving you an idea about some books that you might like to read! 

Byee
