Thanks Carmen, I'll try the library :) I know waterstones want around £15 for it so I was sceptical at first!!

I've just finished "Confinement" by Katharine McMahon. Excellent book, and gripped me well into 3/4 way through, after which it wasn't so absorbing.
I've just started "Sacred Hearts" by Sarah Dunant, and am really enjoying it so far.

I found a lovely read in Asda the other day. 'Words can describe' by Abi Grant. I've only read a few chapters but it's already proving to be beneficial.

Just finished Before I Die By Jenny Downham - I 'enjoyed' it but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but definitly worth the read!

Going to start New Moon By Stephanie Meyer - I didn't readlly like Twilight but thought I would continue reading this series considering I've seen the films so far aswell!



You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
red ribbons were weaving
upon the young girls skin.
a trail of red weaved deep,
caused by pain from within

I love this book, i read it in school. I hated it at first but once we started studying it i couldn't put it down. I think it is very relevant to today and where we could easily end up.

I have just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I particularly love the language and innuendo. Some of the ideas of society put forward by this book are very interesting. If you get the penguine classic version you can read some of the things written about the book back in 1890. The things they thought were rude and vulgar are halarious, those ppl would turn in the graves if they could see what is accepted in society these days.

My English teacher lent me this a while ago; he'd gotten it as a present from someone and didn't know if he'd like it, so he wanted my opinion (he had a few books to get through so I guess he decided to share the load). I absolutely hated it.

As far as I know he didn't read it.

That is one of my all time fave books. I read it when I was 12ish and it really resonated with me, I still remember parts of it vividly. It is pretty graphic for a 12 year old I know!

I'm reading "Inivisible Monsters" By Chuck Palahniuk right now. He has a very unique and distinguishing style of writing. It's like marmite. :D

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

Probably one of the most honest works I have ever read.



hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
because a vision softly creeping
left its seeds while I was sleeping
and the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains within the sound of silence
