Books That Made Me: World Book Day Inspired Post

Books are the way to new worlds. 
They allow us to experience anything 
And everything that we want to do in the world. 
They are the way to worlds that we didn't even know existed 
But we don't know what to do without. 
Allow us to open doors in this world
That change us, make us learn, 
Allow us to know that anything is possible 
If only we believe.
Books are escapism when we need them the most. 
Books can change our lives, for better. 
Books make us better people. 
They made us, well us. 
Here are the books that made me...

Twilight (Twilight, #1)Book One: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

 This book opened the door to a new world that I didn't know existent. It opened the door to YA and I haven't looked back...





Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1)Book Two: Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison 

 This book opened the door to a world I already knew existent but not in fiction. It taught me that life can be messy and embarrassing and that that's OK and the female friendships rule!



The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)
Book Three: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 

 This book opened the door to a world of fun and fans and films. It changed my life and stained my heart, I would not be the same person without this book. 






Star Girl (Stargirl #1)Book Four: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

This book illustrates that sometimes you make mistakes and that you have the chance to correct them. That to kind is always the best route. 







Book Five: The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling 


This book opened a door to a magical land of witches, wizards, dragons and everything that my imaginations wanted and I haven't left since. 



Am I Normal Yet? (The Spinster Club, #1)Book Six: Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne

 This book opened my mind and told me that it's OK not to be normal and that what is going on in your brain is as important as what goes on the inside. 






All of the AboveBook Seven: All Of The Above by Juno Dawson

 This book was the first time that I saw a part of myself in a book and showed me how important representations is. 










Book Eight: Radio Silence by Alice Oseman 

 This book taught me that sometimes university can be shit and that's OK and that friendship will always help you through it. 





So this was a different kind of post and was inspired by the YALC of the same name. I had fun writing this post as I have definitely been feeling in a writing mood the last couple of days. 

 I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you soon, 

 Amy

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

A book that’s published in 2021    Book I Want To Read: Gut Feelings by C. G. Moore Book I Actually Read: Gut Feelings by C.G. Moore An Afrofuturist book Book I Want To Read: The City We Became by N.
