As you probably saw my posts and videos have been few and far between recently. This is due to the fact that i was on holiday the past 2 weeks, and although Cornwall has the best beaches, ice cream and pastys... it has THE worst WiFi.
But due to the undeniable slowness and disappearing of any chance of Internet it meant i had a hell of a long time to read!
I love reading, its something you can do anywhere and anytime, which transports you to any world imaginable.
On my you tube channel i talked about physical books i read, here i want to talk about books i read on y Kindle.
The Fallen Star Series by Jessica Sorensen
This series of books i downloaded on a whim as the first was free. They're not the best written as the can jump around a little and in some areas it doesn't read as well as other books. However, they are a lovely little fantasy fix. Imagine Twilight meets Mortal Instruments combined with every young adult series ever. It has the stock vampire, moody male love interest, slightly significant female character who has great skills and of course the close off, introverted, innocent main female character. Although these books are predicable and wouldn't be my first fantasy adventure they are a good book to enter a new world and the author does have a few cool ideas. This is because the main character Gemma has never felt emotion for 18 years and slowly begins to which reveals 'a magical power' she has, then she gets caught up in a war against the evil guys ( NO spoilers) and creatures called the 'Death Walkers'. As she id trying to save the world she falls for a guy called Alex....
There are 4 books in the series and if you want a little story, that's easy to read then i would recommend these.
Amy Green by Sarah Webb
Throwing it back now, these books were all i read for a bout 1 year when i was 12. I found them on my kindle and thought i might as well relive them. Yes, they are still as cheesy, predictable as i remember, although now with a hint of hilarity that i was so attached to these books. I already added a few years to the main character Amy as she is doing and achieving things no 13 year old did ( at least i didn't). Therefore i see her more as 17, that way the books were more bearable for me. If your not-so-little-one wants a really easy read, browse through this series. But it was a cute trip down memory lane.
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
The divergent series is a series i constantly dip in and out off, I loved and still love the first book, but the second and especially the third i'm not a massive fan off. I think the first one is so clearly written and the last two are more of a jumble and not as well written. Therefore once i have read and loved the first one i often slow down read the next two books. Insurgent is alright but i do get a little bit bored so i have not finished yet. Although i have read the whole series many a time, I used Insurgent as a bit of a filler in Cornwall rather than a main books. This series is alright if you need a books that's quite easy to read and quick that gives you a different world to escape too.
As you can see there is a theme to these books. They are easy to read, fantasy books. This is because on holiday i like to read books i don't have to think about. I'm on Holiday to relax and i hate trying to force my way and think around complicated ideas, instead i read a lot of books that although have good stories are not the most intellectual. Even so, there good books to switch off which is what holidays are all about.
