MY BOOK LIST


(*this was meant to be so much better but my phone hates meeee oh well, enjoy!)



One Day
This book killed, me. I honestly cannot stress how dear these characters are and always will be to me. Every time I'm sitting down, not doing anything and allowing myself to reflect whilst listening to Arctic Monkey's, all I can think about is this book. In fact, it's these characters. Arctic Monkey's are literally the (my) soundtrack to this book and the two together will always be dear to me. The story is basically the narrator telling the story of these two characters Dexter and Emma, on one day. It makes more sense if you read it though. READ IT. The writing isn't too fluffy or blunt, you will hate and love both of them, and they will just become more gorgeous as you turn every page. So much honesty and truth in this book.


The Secret Life of Bees
So, I was a rebel when I read this book. I was not yet a teen and I was still in primary school. I was bored of my child appropriate books, and I took one of the books from our "library" and read this. Now, The Secret Life of Bees, is not a terribly adult like book, but it has many serious themes that run through it, and I feel that they've been written so incredibly well. The story in itself is heartbreaking, but you will honestly learn to love all of the characters (sometimes, even the father ... I will say no more). I feel that I cannot tell you the basic outline, without giving away a large chunk of the story, so I will keep quiet. Read this book though, it is so kind and gentle, and every time I see it or hear of it, the bees start buzzing, and my mind always floats back to summer.


To Kill A Mockingbird
This book was AMAZING. Do not read the sequel. This book, by itself is a beautiful work of art, and it should not be tampered with or touched in any kind of way. To Kill A Mockingbird was so beautifully written, and it is truly a classic that must be read by everybody. The character development within the book is wonderful, and you will honestly learn to love and adore, hate and despise each and every one of them.
