Book Review: Paper Towns By John Green

Name: Paper Towns
Author: John Green
Series or One-Off: One Off
Release Date: 2008
Film: No
Rating: *****
Review: I think I have written a John Green Book Review before on  The Fault In Our Stars (the film comes out this year EEEE >.<) This is my second John Green book and I love it! This book is about Quentin Jacobsen, an 18 year old who has always loved Margo Roth Spiegelman. But after a night-long road trip, Margo goes missing and Quentin's only destiny is to find her. An addictive book but with an emotional ending! :(

Release Date: 2011
Series: Anna

Rating: *****
Review:  I read this book quite a while ago but I thought I would write a review because I love it! The book tells us the story of Cas Lowood, a ghost hunter. Cas has killed many ghosts before but there's something about Anna. Anna Dressed In Blood. When he finds out about her story, he realizes why she kills every person who has ever entered her home. That is, everyone except Cas. 
This thriller is a great teen read and draws you in from the start and is now one of my favourite books.

How to do your very own Book Jar!


Hey Everyone!
Recently to kick off the new year, I stole an idea from tumblr. It's called the Book Jar. All you have to do is get a jar, some bits of paper/card and read some books!
Each time you read a book, you write down the name of the book, fold it up and put it in your book jar. At the end of the year you can open the jar and see how many books you've read. Plus if you use different coloured paper/card it will look really pretty ,when you start to fill the jar up, in your bedroom!
You will need:
Paper/card
Glass/Plastic Jar
Lots of books to read !

Book Review: Carrie By Stephen King


Name: Carrie
Author: Stephen King
Release Date: April 5th 1974
Film?: Yes
Released: November 3rd 1976
Rating: *****
Review: 
I have started to read Stephen King books and Carrie is my most recent read. Although slightly graphic in places, if you are 12+ it's perfect for you. If you like a thrilling protagonist, Carrie is your girl. Carrie lives with her extremely religious mother and is tele-kenetic. She is constantly bullied at school and a massive prank at her school prom leads her to revenge. Find out what Carrie does in this thrilling book. It's a must have!
