10 Books I Love

Hi guys, sorry that my posts are quite irregular but with college work and trying to think of what to actually write it's hard to stick to a schedule. I've done a post with my favourite films so I decided to do one about my favourite books...

(disclaimer: I don't own all these books so not all the pictures are my own)

1.Harry Potter - JK Rowling

Okay so I LOVE the whole series (I'm such a Harry Potter geek) but my favourite one has to be The Prisoner of Azkaban, mainly because of Sirius, Lupin and the background we get about the Marauders. I could talk about Harry Potter literally all day (maybe that'll have to be another post) so I'll try not to ramble. I think JK Rowling really develops the characters and backgrounds and the whole world seems so believable, the way it's written really helps you fall in love with (or hate) the characters and I think that is one of the best parts of the series.

2.Significance - Shelly Crane

This is (again) another series I love. My friend told me about it and I did take a while to get into it but I'm now hooked! It has ups and downs and it's so cute! The cliffhangers will annoy you but it's worth it. I love the characters and I'm really looking forward to the end of the month when the next one in the series comes out.

3.  Divergent 

  

So thanks to purelyloved's recommendation I read Divergent and I LOVE IT!!! This book is just so so so good!! I am yet to read the rest in the series but I cannot wait to read them and I am so excited to. I have actually fallen in love with the characters and I love the storyline and plot and just everything. Totally recommend and fans of the Hunger Games and Harry Potter you should read it because you are bound to love it.

UPDATE: I have now read all the books in this series and I still love them but certain parts will anger you...

4.Paper Towns - John Green

I love John Green novels and I'm so excited for the Paper Towns movie because the book is great. I love how it focuses on the mystery of Margo and the clues she has left. One of my favourite parts is the road trip they take because it focuses on the friendships more than the romance. It's great, I love it.

5.Looking for Alaska - John Green

There is a theme here... Anyway I love Looking for Alaska and I'm so happy that it's becoming a film as well. Like Paper Towns I love the mystery element of it, when I read it the first time I (stupidly) read the end first because I wanted to know what the event was (DON'T DO THIS, IT WILL RUIN THE BOOK) so I was reading it with the knowledge of what happened. However I still found it really gripping and I really like it.

6.The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

Love them. I fell in love with characters and I think they were really well written. I was all over the place when I read them for the first time because I had no idea what the characters were really thinking and I had to re-read sections to make sense of it but I think it's really great.

7.Where Rainbows End - Cecilia Ahern

This is the book that Love, Rosie is based on. It's a really great story told through emails and texts and letters ect. It's so cute and kinda sad at times. I do get kinda annoyed when reading it because you just want to tell the characters to get it together (sorry that's vague but I really don't want to spoil it for you) It's quite a long book but I so recommend it. 

8.The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight - Jennifer E Smith

This is quite an easy read and is great to read to take a break. I think it's really cute! It's the sort of book you will read and think, that could totally happen to me and why hasn't it yet. I don't have the book but writing this post has made me want to get it out of the library again.

9. Private Peaceful - Michael Morpurgo

This is my favourite Michael Morpurgo book and I don't really know why because it makes me feel really sad. It's so well written and really makes you feel for the characters, part of the reason it's so sad. 

10. The Pianist - Wladysaw Szpilman

This is a true story of a Polish Jew in WWII and I think it's really good. I like this book because it makes you realise what actually happened and it does seem surprising how much humans can endure and survive. I do recommend this book, especially if you like history or are studying the world wars.

Thanks for reading, what are your feelings on the books above? Or what books do you love that you recommend?
