8. Best Friends For Never By Lisi Harrison 3/02/10


I can't believe I've started to get hooked on The Clique series. Like the first book, 'The Clique', Best Friends For Never is again another book that is hard to put down! Its a great read and I would defiantly suggest it to other, young and old. The majority of people will see that their school year could have been a lot worse!

Cost of Book: £0 (My mother bought it for me!)

7. The Invisible Friend by Louise Arnold 21/01/10


This book was given to me years ago... before it was even published! I managed to acquire a uncorrected proof copy.
I found the book an averagely OK book. It wasn't a book that you couldn't put down, yet there were detailed ideas in it that could fit in well in one of the Harry Potter books! As the book goes on the storyline gets progressively better. However it's not something I would recommend for anyone older than 13 really! Still its a not a bad book and the author of it has dyslexia. I have very mild dyslexia and I think its great that she has managed to write a book and get it published!

Cost of Book: £0 (Given to me as a present)

6. The Clique By Lisi Harrison 30/12/09


This book keeps you intrigued because you can't quite understand why the character Claire Lyons wants to become friends with the nastiest girls in her school! Again this is not a book I would have picked up in a shop and I believe it managed to become part of my collection a few Christmas ago! However, its one of those books where you can't quite believe what the characters are doing and you just have to keep reading. Only trouble is, that it wasn't until the last page I realised it was a series. There are about another 10 books to it and more are being published! Better get reading then!

Cost of Book: £0 (given as a present)

5. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 15/12/09


I'm not the kind of person who is into reading books about real life situations. I prefer fantasy and adventure! However, I picked up this book because it is about a boy who has asperger syndrome. This is very similar to the condition my brother has, autism.

The book was OK, again I stress I'm not a real life story kind of girl! However, it was well written and the way Haddon prorated some parts of the condition where actually really well done.

Its a good book to start you on the road to understanding the condition.

Cost of Book: £0 (found on my bookshelf)

4. Bloodline by Kevin Brooks 8/03/09


This was a very short book, which I read in half an hour! It's not the type of book I would generally go for, I only read it because it had some how appeared on my book shelf. Its a nice little read but as I have never experience Finbar's family set up I found it harder to empathise with his character.

Total cost of book: £0 (found it on my shelf, Someone bought it for me)

3. 21/01/09 Gene Therapy by Joseph Panno


This is actually a very interesting book and is very easy to read. I really recommend anybody who is taken A2 Biology to read it. It is very useful as it tights in a lot of biology you would have learnt at AS and builds your knowledge for A2.

Total cost of book: £0 (borrowed from school libiary)

2. 4/12/08 Tony Hawks Playing the Moldovans at Tennis


I loved his first book 'Round Ireland with a Fridge' and no surprise I love this one too! I love this book because what ever mood your in you will always end up laughing out loud. I also think this book is amazing because he has gone out to Moldovan to play its national football team at tennis! I mean how many people can put that on their CV!!! He made something, which sounded so impossible to achieve become reality. Its books like these that keep me going with my list!

Total cost of book: £0 (borrowed from my Uncle)
