School is nearly over for the summer holidays and that means that I will soon have a lot more time to fill up with activities and ideas. But it also means that I'll have have a lot of time sitting around trying not to be bored. So I've decided to set myself a little challenge...before I go back to work in September I am going to try and read six books.
I've bought a few books recently that I'd like to read plus I've got a few that I've had a while and haven't read yet.... Meet my six books for summer.
The six books in question are the ones under the pig, just in case you were wondering. Let's start with the one I know you have all spotted Grey by E.L James. Yes that's right I bought it. I've read all three of the Fifty Shades books and yes I have no shame in saying I'm interested to read this too. It's not a crime.
Up next, Paper Towns by John Green. Like most people, I read The Fault in Our Stars before the film came out and I'm planning to do the same before Paper Towns comes out. Obviously I've got a little bit of time because I probably won't watch the film before it comes out on DVD as I never go to the cinema anymore.
Three of the remaining books are by authors of books I already love. Giovanna Fletcher, the wife of Tom Fletcher of McBusted has already published two books, Billy and Me and You're the One that I Want and I loved both of them. I can't wait to read Dream a Little Dream soon.
Meg Cabot is the lady behind the original Princess Diaries series of ten books. I read all of them in my teenage years and have also read some of her "adult" books too. She recently published Princess Diaries book number 11 and my teenage self screamed when I saw it was coming out. SOOOOOOO EXCITED to read it.
The final author I've read before is Freya North, in fact you can see my Freya North collection in the background. I love her style of writing and the characters she puts forward. I often get completely invested in any book she writes.
The last book of the six is Us by David Nicholls. He is the author of One Day, a book I have had in my bookcase for a year at least but I haven't read... I've seen the film though. I picked up Us a few months ago so I thought it'd be a good idea to add this to my six so I actually read it.
What do you think of this challenge? Have you read any of these books?
Lots of Love,
Clare
