My Favorites: Books ❤

Hi Lovlies :)

If there is one thing you need to know about me - it's that I love reading.

I love books about "real life" teen problems (is that even a thing? Well, you know what I mean :p)

But recently, I'm leaning more towards adventure and mystery books.

So rambling aside, I feel that instead of just explaining what type of books I like I should just show you - well, duh ?!

Paper Towns - By John Green

Okay so I'm pretty sure that after the amazing book (followed by an almost as amazing film <3) "The Fault in our Stars" every person in the planet knows who John Green is - ok well that might be an exaggeration but you get my point :) So after I read and wept through that book, I went and bought the next book I saw by the same author. This book is really really good and it's definitely a page turner. Trying to make this as brief as possible, the book is about a teenage girl called Margo who runs away. The night before, Margo and a boy named Quentin went on a mission so that Margo can get revenge on some people. When Quentin finds out she is missing, he is determined to find her and he assumes that he left clues behind her.

Wonder - R.J Palacio

This book is literally one of the most touching books I have ever read. It's about a ten year old boy called August, who's face is severally deformed. Through this book, you discover the everyday struggles that he faces. You realize that even something so simple - like walking into a shop, can be something terrifying for this boy. It brings you on this emotional roller coaster whilst you witness the struggles he faces when he starts a new school. Something interesting about this book is that the author never describes August's face. All that's said is "I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."

Theodore Boone: The Activist - John Grisham

So to be completely honest, I haven't actually finished this book. But so far, it's really good, and this book is the third book of a series by John Grisham specifically for teens. The series is about a teenage boy called Theodore Boone who loves anything to do with court and trials. He is always trying to solve mysteries that he comes across - and more often then not, he is successful. It sounds simple and straight forward, but trust me, it's not. In every book there is a different mystery or case that slowly unravels leaving you shocked on how someone could have thought of such a plot. This series got me to love books about mysteries <3
