World Book Day!

Hi everyone!

Just a short post today as I have a Physics exam tomorrow.

It's the 1st of March which means that it is World Book Day! This is great news for book lovers like me- it's not often that a whole day is dedicated to books and reading. Today across the globe people are celebrating reading and books. I know that in my school an author gave a talk to a group of Year 8's and in many primary schools pupils dress up as their favourite book characters. Today Sophie McKenzie, Malorie Blackman and Charlie Higson were at the Apple Store in Covent Garden.

Happy World Day everyone!

My Favourite Authors

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.
