Summer Book List

It is now starting to look and feel like Summer, and if there's one thing I really enjoy about the long holidays it having time to read. So, I thought I'd recommend my favourite reads and be the Richard and Judy of the blogging world... Here goes...

1. The first book is one of my all time favourites, which is strange because I'm not a huge fan of love stories really. But, I just love the way that this one is written! Its from a unique point of view and is just a really good book, "A modern classic" as the Daily mail called it.
One Day- David Nicholls
2. Book number two is also one of my favourite books, it is Divergent by Veronica Roth. It's the first in a series of three books, with the fourth being released this Autumn (I can't wait!). The characters are so interesting, and its set in the future which always makes a book more intriguing. Veronica has a blog too, so check that out!. Also, the film interpretation of Divergent will be released later this year.
3. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is probably the best book I have ever read! My English teacher recommended it to me, and it is just flawless! Its not such a happy story (I cried for about three chapters) but it is an amazing story! John Green is such a good writer, and I can't wait to read more of his books. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
4. This is a more light-hearted read, perfect for holidays, and it's non-fiction. James Bowen's story about how his stray cat helped him put his life back together (as he was once homeless and had a drug issue). In some places it's quite detailed, but nevertheless a really good book that I thoroughly enjoyed as a cat lover.
5. Finally, another love story, P.S I Love You. Well, I say love story....she grieving for her dead husband, which I know doesn't sound like a good book, but trust me my whole family enjoyed it. I read this on holiday and it was a really good beach read. The author, Ceceila Ahern, is the daughter of a former Taoiseach of Ireland (equivalent to the Prime minister of  England), that's a lovely fact...
 So, I hope you found this useful if you don't have a clue what to read this Summer. Enjoy!

Thank you,
