My history with books…

Since I got my first follower that isnt family, I have become a lot more motivated to write, even if it is just for that one person. Anyway, ‘R A I N’ chose what I would write about for this blog post, which is my book experience and favourite books. Here goes…

I have always been an avid reader, getting less so as I lost time getting older. At first I would read anything, school sets you books to read, and I’m pretty sure I read outside of school too. They were mostly rubbish, but I was a kid with very low standards.

Then came the ‘Jacqueline Wilson’ phase, the time of my life where I was obsessed (literally) with the aforementioned author. For times sake let’s just call her ‘JW.’

I honestly don’t know how I first started reading her books, but I would say, for a good four years I was probably her biggest fan. I was even featured in her magazine, because my eighth birthday party was JW themed!

During that time I enjoyed reading and re-reading novels such as ‘Hetty Feather’ and ‘Tracy beaker.’ I think though, looking back, my favourite was ‘Midnight.’ The twisted plot really enthralled me, so much that I bought, and still have, the CD narration of it.

Then came the Harry Potter phase, which I am still a part of. I first read Harry Potter when I purchased ‘The Philosopher’s stone’ at a carboot sale. Since then my thirst for magic has only improved, leading me gradually to now, where I am sat in my Gryffindor bedroom. The best room of the house in my opinion, with deep red curtains, a gold painted wall, HP quotes galore, and my goldfish Xenophilius Lovegood swimming in his bowl.

Before you jump to conclusions, I’m not a Gryffindor. I’m Hufflepuff… :p

Now we are in the present day! I can tell you all of my favourite ‘in between’ reads. The books or series’ I have read aswell as my odd obsessive phases…

I love dystopian stories! Some of my favourites include;

– The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

–The Maze runner by James Dashner

–Divergent by Veronica Roth

(All of which are more than one book)

I’m actually really excited to watch the next Maze Runner movie, which comes out in 2018!

Then I am also very into Romance books. I read quite a lot of Young adult books (11 over the summer!!!) Some of my favourite YA books are;

–The girl’s guide to summer by Sarah Mylnowski

–Who runs the world? By Virginia Bergin

–Everything everything by Nicola Yoon

I would also highly recommend any of these books by Emery Lord, because she is such a great author and I am in love with her style;

–The start of me and you

-The names they gave us

-When we collided

…

Of course I read lots of fanfiction too!

So that just about wraps up this post, of course there is more I have read, these are just some of my favourites.

In the comments, tell me what your three favourite books are, and if you have ever had a book/author obsession. What Hogwarts house are you?
