Dear Readers,
I have recently been talking to people about my passion for reading and someone suggested I try the 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' Collection by Lemony Snicket. The books are comprised of 13 novels each with about 200 pages each complete with lovely illustrations; providing an adventure tale between three orphans and their journey to find a new home after their parents death whilst up against their evil uncle Count Olaf.
I am now onto the third in the series and have been really enjoying them! As light-hearted short reads they are perfect for anyone that wants to try and expand their reading material or for those who want to start reading a series/get back into reading again.
The BOOK OF THE MONTH I would like to recommend for February is 'Everything Beautiful' by Simmone Howell. I received this book for Christmas and was so glad I was given it. The story is based on a teenage girl named Riley-Rose who is sent to a Christian camp, despite not believing in God and refusing to go. Riley meets a boy named Dylan at the camp who has recently become disabled among others and challenges the rules and regulations presented to her. It's not your standard 'character goes to camp, finds boy, falls in love, happily ever after ending' but is one in which challenges thoughts and behaviours and for this I found it really powerful.
I really liked the story-line and feel it will appeal to many teenagers, especially girls! The book is just under 300 pages and like the above collection is not particularly challenging but a good read all the same. Let me know what you think....!
Do you have any good reviews you would like to share- Comment below!
Hope to hear from you, E xx
