Hi Guys!
Sorry I haven't posted in ages. Blogger was freaking out and not letting me type anywhere for a few days.
Today I am going to give you a list of my ten favourite books (and tell you vehemently that you really must read them).
1. Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling
Well, it is one of the highest selling series' ever. I was totally obsessed when I was a little kid and I still think that Harry is rather hot.
2. Purge - Sarah Darer Littman
This one's about a girl with bulimia going through treatment at a mental health facility. It's beautiful and it made me cry... Cry like the little girl that I happen to be.
3. Plague - Malcolm Rose
I haven't even finished it yet, but it's on the list. It's freaking incredible. About an epidemic sweeping England, with a one hundred percent mortality rate.
4. Impulse - Ellen Hopkins
Another one set in a mental health facility, this book follows the stories of three suicidal teenagers and their time spent recovering - or not as the case may be.
5. Identical - Ellen Hopkins
Yes, she happens to be one of my favourite authors of all time. This one is about twins leading very different lives, but one of them happens to be dead and the other happens to have a split personality. Anyone work out how the dead one is still living? No, not a Sci Fi.
6. Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
A true classic in the eyes of anyone who has read it. I have been graciously given the complete works of Lewis Carroll by my older sister and it had me entranced from the first page.
7. Where the Wild Things Are - Maurice Sendak
Loved this one, who says that teenagers only read emo literature and long involved tragedies.
8. A Midsummer Nights Dream - William Shakespeare
Again, I own the entire works of the Bard, so I am rather well read. The Dream is my favourite Shakespeare, closely followed by 'My Mistress', a sonnet.
9. The Carnivorous Carnival - Lemony Snicket
Love the Series of Unfortunate Events. It's possibly the second greatest series ever written.
10. The Slippery Slope - Lemony Snicket
Again, Lemony is an amazing writer. When Sunny was kidnapped I cried.
Anyway, that is my rant for today. Hope you thoroughly enjoyed it. xx
