Since then we have been given even more books so I want to share them with you.
There are some that I wouldn't normally read so I'm excited to try them.
This is a photo of all of the books together. I've just ordered them in the order we received them.
- The Knife Of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
- 2015 Fiction Previews - Electric Monkey
- The Boy In The Smoke - Maureen Johnson
- Rock War: The Audition - Robert Muchamore
- Smart - Kim Slater
- Charm And Strange - Stephanie Kuehn
- Black Heart Blue - Louisa Reid
- Cowgirl - G.R. Gemin
- Flirty Dancing - Jenny McLachlan
- Dead Ends - Erin Lange
- Seven Days - Eve Ainsworth
- A Thousand Nights - E.K. Johnston
I really like the cover for the Patrick Ness book because it's so unusual. I'd never even heard about World Book Night events before receiving this book! I've also never seen that cover design before. Kirsty has the Chaos Walking Trilogy and they are 3 of her favourite books.
The Electric Monkey 2015 fiction previews has the first chapter of several books that are being released throughout 2015. It's a really good way of getting a feel for the way the books are written before deciding if you want to buy them. Unfortunately, none of them grabbed my attention.
The other two books are from the selection of £1 books you could buy on World Book Day 2014. I haven't read either of them yet, they are both companions to full novels, but they are ideal for shorter car journeys or tram rides.
These are the 2 hardback books we received.
Kirsty wrote down Smart because it sounded similar to The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time so when she saw it on the shelf she grabbed it straight away. The inside of the cover is illustrated.
I picked up the other book to see what it was about and really liked the cover. It's a story about a werewolf and that's about all I know! I haven't started reading it yet but I will soon.
These are 2 book proofs we received
The first one is an old book proof - the book was released late 2014. But it said that it was similar to Louise Rennison's Withering Tights. I LOVE Louise Rennison's writing style. The Georgia Nicholson series is one of my favourite ever series. I am about halfway through this book and it has not let me down. It's really light hearted and funny and is a really nice thing to read when you don't feel like getting stuck into a heavy book.
Also, we were really curious to know what was underneath the sticker so spent ages trying to peel it off and then wash away the stickiness. All we had to do was open the cover to see the mystery font used on the first page -_-
The second one is for a book that will be released 22nd October 2015. The cover is beautiful. I love metallic prints on covers. The story is about a girl who marries a man to save her sister, and then uses magic to save herself. That is a very vague description because I don't want to give too much away but it sounds really exciting.
These are 4 general books
Cowgirl is about a girl who herds cows! I'm not really sure where the storyline goes but cows are in my top 5 animals and I can honestly say I've never read a book about a cow girl before.
7 Days was on a postcard we received at the first book club meeting. We read the words on the postcard and were intrigued. The cover contains some pretty nasty insults and just really draws you in. Who are they saying this to and why? What will happen in 7 days?
Dead Ends is a book I have picked up several times in book shops and wanted to buy but always convinced myself not to. It's not that I didn't find it interesting enough, just that I have so many books waiting to be read already. After I received this book, I read it over 2 days and absolutely loved it. The main characters are so likeable and the storyline is quite adventurous. I kind of want it to be made into a film but I'm not sure if it is long enough.
Do you have any teen books you can suggest for me to read?
Let me know if you have read any of these books and what you thought of them.
