Hey Guys,
I love books, and through my sixteen years on this planet I have collected a mini library. However, instead of boring you all with the long winded explanation of each book in my bookshelf, I thought I`d share my top 5 books that I have read again and again...
Firstly The White Princess by Philippa Gregory.
Wow. A Tudor book. How did I know at least one historical book was going to pop up. This is honestly my favourite book from Philippa Gregory. It tells the story of Elizabeth of York wife of Henry VII. It follows her being accused of plotting, have to make decisions whether to turn against her children and deciding where he loyalty lies. I absolutely love this book and if your just getting into history try it... Honestly.
Next Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah.
The story behind this book was I got it free from a magazine called Puffin Post, which was a magazine that let it subscribers pick out a free book every month. This was my first one. I loved it. It is about a girl who`s birth killed her mother and as such is shunned by her family, when her father remarries she is still seen as worthless even though she is the cleverest child at her school, this book follows the true story of Adeline. Her writing ,for me, is mesmerising and I could not recommend it enough.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Now before you roll your eyes and mutter "hipster". This book is not only wonderfully written but touches on subjects I have faced in my life and as such I almost use this to comfort myself and just to reassure myself Charlie and his family got through so can me and mine. This book makes me laugh, cry and cringe inwardly almost at the same time. It is such a good little read....
Everyday by David Levithan
When this went on a circle around my friends, I was itching to get it back. I love the idea of this book and because its so well written I often find myself waking up going... Am I A today? or even walking down the street looking at people going are you A? That is how much the story of this book grabs me. If you want just a book that will make you feel everything...... then this is it.. Kudos to you David Levithan.
Last but by no means least Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
This book. This series, This blooming author. Has made me obsessed with myths behind the story. I basically knew nothing about the Greeks until I read the book 4 years ago at the recommendation of a friend and now I`m doing Greeks at A-levels... The characters are so addictive and you end up needing to know what happened next... me and my friend are a little obsessed with the two series he has written ( the second series is honestly amazing as well although its on my kindle or I would have added it in). I could go on about this book all day but all I`m going to say right now is read then come back and we can talk about Percabeth...
Hope this gives you inspiration on what to read next, let me know yours in the comments
Love,
