When I was younger, I used to read a lot, and I still do. What upsets me is that other people have given up because it's 'uncool' and 'geeky'. I think that. As a teenager, I'm in the minority of people who actually enjoy getting into a good book and I think that there has to be at least one book/author for everyone but they just lose the experience. I understand that teenagers are busy people with having to tweet every 5 seconds but maybe your next tweet should go like this: "Just about to start a new book! #geekchic"
I must admit, last year, I did not read much at all and now there are so many books that I can't wait to get started on. Now, I feel that after reading this, you might say "Well what am I supposed to read?" so I present:
A BOOK I HAVE READ
A BOOK I AM READING
A BOOK I WANT TO READ
The book that I would like to talk about that I have read is a typical amongst people my age but it has to be, 'The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. The main character is cancer suffering Hazel Grace Lancaster who is a teenager. Along her interesting and page-turning journey she sparks a instagram worthy romance with gorgeous plot twist, Augustus Waters. If you're not that into reading, it's a great book to get started on.
The book that I am reading is titled 'Ketchup Clouds' which I know sounds bizarre but after I read the blurb, I was hooked. This book is by Annabel Pitcher. I've only just started this book but from what I gather, it's about a girl named Zoe who has a deep secret. She meets a mysterious man who knows all about lies, secrets and betrayal. Desperate to share her feelings, she writes a series of letters. The book contains the letters she wrote.
The book I want to read is actually a sequel to a book I have just finished by Malorie Blackman. After finishing the first book in the series, Noughts and Crosses, I knew I had to get my paws on the second one, "Knife Edge". This series explores something that I've never encountered in a book before : Racism. Obviously, I knew a bit about how people were separated due to their skin colour in the 1960s (I think) but I know more about the personal effects of it due to reading Callum and Sephy's story. These star-crossed lovers are the modern day Romeo and Juliet. Sephy is a black cross who's father is a very important man whereas Callum is a white nought and in scrutiny from the higher classes crosses. Their romance takes them on a emotional yet action packed, thrilling journey. The book ends with Callie Rose. (You'll understand that if you read/have read it)
So, thank you very much for reading (ha, get it) and I hope you enjoyed my personal views and thoughts. Please, please, please read a book whenever you have spare time. It doesn't take much time to have a lifetime of being clever!
Love, Gx
