Some of My Favourite Books

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, if you didn't know I'm an avid book reader and I've never shared with you my favourite books so I thought I would do a blog post on it, so you know some of my favourites.

 I'm using images of the Internet as most of my books are on my kindle.

First up is The Fault In Our Stars, this is an incredible book and I have read it a few times, it's an emotional story but it is amazing and it's one of the best books I've read. The Fault In Our Stars is about a 16 year old called Hazel and she has cancer but the main focus of the story isn't her cancer it's her relationship with Augustus and her parents. She starts going to a support group and meets Augustus and they become friends and she tries to keep him at bay because she doesn't want him to get hurt. It's a beautiful love story that isn't cheesy and cliche which I really like. I don't want to go into too much detail and spoil it for anyone, so if you haven't read it you should go read it, you will not be disappointed it's an amazing book that you will love.

Divergent is another favourite of mine, Divergent is is a dystopian novel it revolves around Tris. At 16 years old you have to take an aptitude test and it will determine which faction you will be in. There are 5 factions, Abnegation which is selfless, Amity which is peacefulness, Erudite which is intelligence, Candor which is honest and Dauntless which is bravery. The aptitude test reveals she is divergent which means she doesn't fit into just one faction. Tris has been in Abnegation but she doesn't see herself as selflessness enough and so she chooses Dauntless. In the book you see Tris's journey and she is strong and stubborn character. It's an action packed story but isn't all action it has romance and Tris finding herself as a person. It is part of a trilogy and the other books are Insurgent and Allegiant there also great books and you should go read them all.

Another favourite is The Mortal Instruments series. City of Bones is the first book and it is about Clary Fray, she goes to a club with her friend Simon and she witnesses someone getting stabbed but no one else can see except her. She then goes out with her friend Simon later on and see's Jace one of the people from the club that stabbed someone. She finds out that Jace is a shadowhunter and that what he killed was a demon. Her mother rings her and tells her not to come home and that she's been found and the phone cuts off, Clary goes home to find the house destroyed and her mother missing and a demon tries to attack her. Clary later on finds out she is a shadowhunter and so was her mother and that her father Valentine is after the mortal cup that her mother has hidden. This a great series and you should go read them, I am just about to read the last book that came out recently, so I'm excited to see what happens next.

The last book I'm going to talk about is The Girl in the Box series. If you have a kindle you get the first 3 books for free, so it's a bonus. The first book in the series is Alone, it's a story of Sienna Nealon she's 17 years old and has been kept in the house for most of her life by her mother. One day he mother vanishes and Sienna doesn't know where she's gone and two men come into her house and she fights them off and later on Wolfe who is a vicious monster trys to attack her to bring her with him. The people she fights off in her house, come to her rescue and she is taken to a place called the Directorate and she finds out she is a meta human with powers. It's a great series so you should go read it, there is 10 books in total, I've read 9 of them and I'm waiting for the release of the 10th to read. 

What are your favourite books? I'm always on the look out for new books.
