I've read so many books over the period of time that I haven't blogged that I'm not even going to try and catch it up so here are a few of my favourite books of the last year.
The Star of Kazan by Eva Ibbotson, which was a good book which had an interesting twist at the end.
Before I Die by Jenny Downham, which was a very sad book which made my mother cry. But not me.
The Pretties by Scott Westerfeld, was a very futuristic and interesting book. It made me think about how life could actually be if everyone was supermodel pretty.
Angus,Thongs, and full-frontal snogging by Louise Rennison is a really trashy book but a cool read.
The Transformation of Minna Hargreaves and I am not Esther by Fleur Beale. The first was an easy modern read. I am not Esther is about a religious sect and it was very thought provoking.
The Chrysalids by John Wyndham is a futuristic book and it had a very sad message.
Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, were really trashy and cool books. They're a nice read but they're not as good as everyone makes them to be.
Mischling Second Degree by Ilse Koehn, which is a historic and very interesting autobiography about a girl who lived in Nazi Germany.
Knocked out by nunga-nungas by Louise Rennison -- this is also a very trashy but good read book.
Hamlet by John Marsden and Ophelia by Lisa Klein, which are both retellings of the Shakespeare play from the point of view of those characters.
Falling by Sharon Dogar is about a girl called Neesh who is a witch and can tell people's feelings by the colours above their heads. I thought it was a good book with a very moving plot.
