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 follows his ups and downs, its funny and well written.

3. The Other Boleyn Girl - Philippa Gregory

Part of a series about the tudor family of henry the 8th. They are all full of scandal and look at the royal family from the darker side. This one is the first one in the series that I read and it is very historically correct as the author enjoys researching the family.

4. Noughts and Crosses - Malorie Blackman

This is a great story about racism in a different world where black people are the more powerful and white people struggle in society and are not accepted. Again part of a series and keeps you gripped throughout. One for older teenagers as topics such as hanging are included.

5. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey

I only read this after I saw the film, but it is a great book with the main character trying to inspire the inhabitants of a mental hospital to become their own person and think for themselves. It has a really sad ending which leaves you feeling a bit spooked but I knew what was going to happen because of seeing the film.

6. All the Harry Potter books!

They are part of my childhood and I will always remember how much pleasure I got from reading them, in the early days the films were great but now Im much more interested in the books. They are classics in my eyes and great for kids and adults.

7. Mr Thrifty's How to save money on everything - Jane Furnival

This is my bible in paper to moneysaving. There are loads of tips that I hadnt thought of, and its a great read. It was bought for me as a present, they know me so well!

8. Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult

This story is set in America, around a school shooting, and how it affects people in particular the shooter and his family. Its a story that keeps you guessing right to the end and is quite emotional. A very well written book.

9. Change of Heart - Jodi Picoult

This story is quite creepy in that it involves a murderer, a religous theme and heart transplant. Its much more spiritually based than her other books but it was different and a great story line. It had me hooked the whole way through, though some bits were a bit creepy and reminded me of the film The Green Mile.

10. Body Surfing - Anita Shreve

This story is quite simple but based around a family staying on a beach house and employing someone to help their daughter learn. There are themes of love, sex, marrige, betrayal and lots of different stories interweave. Its really well written, and you can imagine everything thats being described.

Thats my top 10! I love reading and there are loads more but this review would take me a very long time if I wrote all my favourites!
