Read All The Books

I read so many books in 2018 so it was very hard to narrow down the best ones but I managed to pick my favourite 12. These books didn't all come out in 2018 but I did read them in 2018. They aren't all 5 star reads but they are ones that stuck with me. They also aren't in order. 1. Anne of Green Gables - Ann M Montgomery What an adorable book this. It follows Anne and her misadventure in Green Gables. You'll laugh, you'll cry. It truly is fantastic! 2. The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern 3. A Court of Mist and Fury - Sarah J Maas I have no words for this book and this series in general. I highly recommend it! 4. The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafron This follows a young boy who finds a copy of a book in a library of forgotten books and his quest in tracking down the authors other novels only to find that his life and family are in danger. 5. The Hating Game - Sally Thorne I love this book with all my heart. It shows what a fine there is between

BookRoast on Youtube is back again with another magical readathon, a Christmas edition this time so naturally I had to participate in this one.  You can find the link to her video explaining the readathon rules here . It runs from the 17th of December until the 26th December and there are a bunch of challenges that you can choose from but ultimately you only really need to read 4 books and finish a book that you have already started. I will list the challenges I have decided to follow as well as the books I have chosen for them. 1. Finish your coursework. (finish your current read) I am currently reading Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare but I have only just started so hopefully I can get through it quickly as it is a really long book. Over 900 pages! 2. Have a snowball fight with the Weasley twins (a book that you think will be humourous) I decided on I believe in a thing called love by Maurene Goo as it is about a Korean American girl who uses K-Drama technique

1. Name a book that you said thank you, next to. I don't remember a book that I have DNFd. There has definitely been one or two but I can't remember any titles. 2. Name a book that taught you love. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. We are all outsiders at some point. You should treat people nicely. 3. Name a book that taught you patience. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. The man sure knows how to add unnecessary words. The abridged version is better than the unabridged. 4. Name a book that taught you pain. Ulysses by James Joyce. Punctuation man! Punctuation!! The sentences run on and on and on and on and on..... 5. Name a book that you loved at the time of reading but in hindsight you don't anymore. The Famous Five by Enid Blyton series. Loved this as a child. Rereading as an adult is definitely not the same as reading it as a child. 6. Name a book that you're currently talking to. ie have the hots for. The book I currently have the hots fo

29 Dates follows Jisu, a young South Korean girl as she navigates a new high school in a different country after her parents find her struggling to cope at her very competitive high school in Seoul and send her off to America.  Living with a host family, Jisu has a hard time juggling school and new friends as well as going on blind dates that her mother's match maker sends her on. I really enjoyed this book. I liked Jisu and how she always had an open mind when going on her blind dates even though she didn't want to be there. I liked that she stood up for herself and always spoke her mind when it was called for. I really felt for her when she felt the constant pressure from her parents to do well and how she felt that she really didn't know what she wanted to do or be after high school. I feel that is relevant to most young people and although this novel is aimed at someone younger than me, I still felt a connection to the character and the story. I found mysel
