Moonlit Books

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great Christmas and that your recovery from eating too much is going well. Today, I wanted to share the best books I read in 2015, not all of these have come out this year but I did read them this year so they're being included too. 1. Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green To start off with I have a little bit of good old John Green. This is easily my favourite book by him even though it doesn't seem to get much recognition from people, but I instantly fell in love with each of the characters and laughed my way through it. I read this during my summer holiday just after I had finished my GCSE's - and it was the perfect pick-me up after such a stressful period. The book revolves around two respective characters who are both called Will Grayson and their struggles, and how they're both linked; it's also unexpectedly hilarious (especially Tiny, you have to love Tiny). It's a just such a good book guys. 2. Carry On: The Ris

So it's almost here, the big old New Year and even though 2015 gave us some great books this year (I'm looking at you Simon Snow), I feel like we've got some good ones coming next year (or this year depending on when I put this up). 1.

Glass Sword follows Mare after the events that took place in Red Queen, she's on the run from Maven (does anyone actually still like him?) the now evil King, and is trying to recruit other Reds like her and Silvers to join in the in fight against those who want to contr

Evening Spiker is the 17 year old daughter of a billionaire genetic scientist with the access to private hospitals, hot young workers, and the latest in genetic developments; including the new virtual reality system that can be used to design any human you want. What Evening doesn't realise is that his isn't about improving lives any more, but about creating them. Well, this book had an interesting concept - take a billionaire's daughter with mummy issues who is also genetically modified to heal fast, and give her some quite dodgy, but exciting technology to play around with after almost dying - its sounds like a great idea; but they didn't pull it off. Which was disappointing because Michael Grant is one of my favourite author's of all time, and I had never read any work from his wife: Katherine Applegate before, and the plot had so much potential. The main protagonist in the book has me a bit confused - I'm completely on the fence with her. She fixates too
