Yesterday my friend and I were talking about books ( as we normally do ) when she asked the common question "What is your favourite book?" I often struggle to find a half decent answer as I don't have a favourite book. That may sound weird a book geek without a favourite book, but it's true. This is mainly because I find it hard to choose, as there are so many great books out there. Also there are many different styles. I may have a favourite science fiction book or a chick flick that I enjoy the best but these are not my favourite books. To make it easier when asked the question I will just reply with my favourite authors. So in answer to the original question, here is a list of my top favourite authors. There are many more and I wish I could fit them all in!
- Sophie Mckenzie-I haven't read a book of Sophie Mckenzies' that had a dull ending or predictable climax. Sophie's books are easy to read and packed with science, adventure, romance and danger.
- Robert Muchamore-I have only recently discovered Robert Muchamore's Cherub series and I am loving every book so. Cherub is a secret government organisation who use children aged 10-17 as undercover agents. Every time I start reading one of the series I find myself stopping and wishing I could be with James, Lauren and Kerry, the three main characters in the books.
- Malorie Blackman- A few years ago I was lucky enough to meet Malorie Blackman and she was one of the most inspiring authors I have ever come across. Her well known Noughts and Crosses series is AMAZING as well as her new book Boys Don't Cry.
- Scott Westerfield- My best friend first introduced me to the Pretties series, a shocking sci-fi about the endless hunt for beauty. The books made you realise some of the major issues related to beauty in the modern world.
- Saci Lloyd- 2015 is a great book about how the impacts of global warming, an issue currently discussed a lot, on a 16 year old girl. It was a great read as it was funny and you could relate to it but at the same time it shocked you into realising what our world could be like in a few years time.
- Gemma Malley- Her books The Declaration, The Resistance and The Legacy are some of the best that I have ever read. She addresses the contraverasal issue of immortality from a very good angle. I highly recommend them to anyone.
