Three books\ book series I will always reread | GIVE AWAY




My love of books can be chased right the way back to before I could talk, a time where I used to stare at the pictures printed on the pages pretending to read. For as long as I can remember I have owned multiple books, I was always advanced at English and reading in school; being able to transport myself into a completely different world, experiencing in that moment running away from a giant spider in the HP series, or discovering a body in a cabin whilst reading a thriller, it is bliss!

No matter what genre of book, if the story line is strong then I will give it a chance. Once in a blue moon there comes a book or a book series that I could easily read over and over again, so without further ramblings; My top Three books!

3) Tilly Greenway & the secret of the ancient keys

When myths become real and dreams can come true you will find that simply anything can happen, to describe this book without giving away any spoilers is difficult but I will try.
12 year old Tilly and her stepbrother Zack are evacuated from their home and taken to an old manor house in Wales after war threatens the world. While at this house they both find out that the planet is controlled by an organisation who essentially want the population micro chipped.
Both children realise they have a part to play in all of this and get help from various people including dragons...YES! I SAID DRAGONS!!

If a combination of Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings is your style of book then you NEED this! The reason I adore this book is that it is so beautifully written, including both an English and Welsh heritage aspect that will leave you sleep deprived from not wanting to put the book down. I have read this book (and the second one) 4 times within the last year & a half, I simply cannot leave it alone...I LOVE DRAGONS MAN!

2) Nineteen minutes  

Nineteen minutes is what can only be described as an emotional, exciting & addictive book! Turning real life issues into a brilliantly told story is pure talent on Jodi Picoult's part (The author if that wasn't clear).

"In nineteen minutes you can order a pizza, in nineteen minutes you can sew a hem. In nineteen minutes you can walk two miles or read a story to a child...in nineteen minutes you can get revenge"

- Nineteen minutes 

Essentially this book is about a Midwife mum and her son who gets revenge on bullies (Not giving away anything!) The story line is gripping, you fall in love with characters and it really gets you thinking about real life issues, you start thinking "What would I do in that situation?" The entirety of the book you are seeking answers, which means you simply cannot put the book down and that is always a winner in my eyes!

1) Harry Potter series 

This one is obvious...For as long as I can remember I have owned the Harry Potter books, listened to the audio books and seen all the movies several times. Harry Potter is, and forever will be one of the greatest things to come into my life. From the magical writing of J.K Rowling to the soothing voice of Stephen Fry talking through my earphones, the wizarding world is something that will be in my heart forever. I love nothing more than to chuck on the first film when I'm having a bad day, or rereading the first book to keep my spirits up. Nothing can take away the magic that lives inside this series, from quiddich to patronus' I will forever be a huge fan!


GIVEAWAY!!

To celebrate the revamp of my blog if you will, I will be holding a small giveaway! This will include the book 'Nineteen Minutes' by Jodi Picoult, I would just like to point out that this will be my own copy of the book as at the moment I cannot afford to buy new things for giveaways but I am planning to in the future.

  1. i'm the same as you, as long as the story line is decent i can read any genre! except i'm picky af with writing style, i quite often get 20-30% through a book (i have a kindle..i'm not just crazy specific ha) and send it back to amazon for a refund. i do tire easily, unfortunately!

    i'll give jodi picoult a go, i know my mum's read loads of her books but i don't think i ever have.

  2. I never really gave kindle a chance! I really have to give it a try but I do love old fashion paper. You are braver than me I would be too scared to send it back and it would just be sat there unloved ha! She is one of my favourite authors, her writing style is different than what I'm used to but I think that's why I love her xx
