Posted on 06:36 by Unknown

Review: Adorkable By Sarra Manning
Posted on 09:49 by Unknown
You may or may not have noticed I’ve been in a massive reading slump lately. Which has put me in a blogging slump. Or maybe I’m just in a general slump. Anyway, while I have read some great books, it’s been a long time since a book made my heart sing (would it be more or less cheesy if I said that was a One Direction reference?). But this book.

Posted on 14:24 by Unknown
1. Adorkable by Sarra Manning. I read this recently and it's the first book in a long time that has made me really smile.
2. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. What I now measure all teen love stories against. It's awesome.
3. Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding. I've never laughed so much at a book as I did with this one.
4. Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. OK
