Have you ever read any dystopian novels?My most recent delves into Dystopia were 1984 (George Orwell) and Flawed (Cecelia Ahern). I read them both on the same day and they were so different to each other! Flawed is Ahern's debut novel. It was a good retelling of persecution in 50s America.

The dry humour didn't make me laugh aloud but it certainly brings a smile to my face. … Continue reading Crooked Kingdom | New Fantasy Obsession & Squad Goals
The Book Thief | Nazi Germany & Beautiful Poetry
This time last week I was thoroughly enjoying The Book Thief. It is one of the best books I have read in a while, purely for the poetry. Every single sentence held lots of meaning so I would love to study this book at a later date. Markus Zusak was very clever when he chose to … Continue reading The Book Thief | Nazi Germany & Beautiful Poetry
