A Book Haul | Books

As it is now 2015 I thought it would be fitting to by some new books for my collection. With the gift cards I received at Christmas I bought these books. I have been eyeing them all for a while now and decided to go for it and buy them.

Top Three Dystopian Books | Books

When I first got into reading I read nothing but dystopian novels. I have grown from that though and have branched out into different genres but my heart still belongs to dystopian. I have moved away from this genre as it is becoming slightly repetitive but for anyone not sure where to start with this genre have I complied a list of the top three dystopian reads (in my opinion).

3. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
If you have been hiding under a rock for the last three years, The Hunger Games is one of the most popular dystopian novels. It is well written and quite enjoyable even though it is a book about a bunch of kids trying to kill each other.

Favourite Books | Books

Hello lovelies.

With reading sometimes you come across a novel that makes you think, or cry (that's most of the time for me), or smile, or even make you want to chuck the book across the other side of the room. But either way, it made you feel something and you will always remember that when you see that particular book.

So here is a list of my favorite books in a short, no spoiler review.

We Were Liars - E. Lockhart
I just - no words! No words!
