Top 10 Books

I am a complete bookaholic and have far too many favourite authors and books to be able to reduce them to a top ten. So I've decided to simply list my favourite book within each of the genres or sub-genres that I read. All these titles are on my 'keeper' shelf and although my general reading philosophy is 'So many books. so little time', I often find the time to re-read these ones. If you haven't read these books already, I hope I can persuade you to give them a try. 1. Children's Fiction: Winnie the Pooh - A.A. Milne Like many parents, mine read to me every night and one of my abiding early memories is of my Dad reading Winnie the ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn't say I'm a bookworm but once I find a book that interests me I can't put it down. So here are ten books I found extremely hard to put down (in no particular order). 1. P.S I Love You by Cecelia Ahern - I'm not really into love stories but had heard good things about this book so decided to give it a try anyway. After reading the first few pages I was hooked and couldn't put the thing down. It follows the story of a woman who is about to lose her childhood sweetheart to a brain tumour. After his death the only thing that holds her together is a series of notes he has left her with instructions on them helping her to get on with her life. P.S. The book ...  Read the complete review

I adore to read, I love most books that I've tried, and very rarely don't finish a book once I've started it. So when I saw this review category I thought I'd have to have a go. So my top 10 books to read, these are in no particular order. 1) "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott - this is such an adorable story about family and love. Set in America during the 1800's and is also believed to be an autobiographical account of Alcott's childhood. I love this story and am happy to read it over and over again. I think it will be something that I'll love to share with my children, when I have them. 2) "The Mephisto Club" ...  Read the complete review

These are in no particular order, well, except number one which is the best thing I have ever read!! 1. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I am not normally a fan of King but my husband read these and said I just HAD to read them. He said they were more like fantasy than horror, so I thought I'd give them a go. They are fantastic - there aren't words to describe how good they are. They are a series of seven books which follow Roland of Gilead on his quest for the Dark Tower. Its similar to Lord of The Rings, so if you like that, you'll love this. The characters are amazing and the story keeps you gripped right to the end. I haven't read anything that was ...  Read the complete review

I love reading and these are my favourites that I have enjoyed over the years: 1. Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging -Louise Rennison This is a hilarious book that I have been rereading since about the age of 13. Its a laugh out loud, I love the story and all the sequels that have come out afterwards. Its a great book for teenage girls as they will be able to relate to all the issues that the girls are going through. 2. Starter for 10 - David Nichols This book is about a young man going to university who doesnt quite fit in, doesnt have much money and is obsessed with women and University Challenge. Its a great story that ...  Read the complete review
