When I was younger - up till fifth form - I was a really big reader. I had the time to sit down and read whatever I could get my hands on. Since sixth form, however, there just never seemed to be enough time to do much reading, and until last year, I’d maybe read 20 books in 3 years. This is very few, comparatively. Recently, I’ve not been so much into working, so I’ve been reading more. There’s this little thing called an ebook, which allows me to read whenever I want without having to go to the book shop, or to the local library. Anyway, here’s a list of all the things that I have read this year - 2008. Excluding all the text books and journals I have read. (Not in any particular order. Too lazy to even alphabetise. Those that I really enjoyed and would recommend are in bold.)
- Nina Harper - Succubus in the City
- Sophia Kinsella - Remember Me
- Shannon Swendson - Enchanted Inc.
- Cassandra Clare - City of Bones
- Cassandra Clare - City of Ashes
- Melissa Banks - The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing - MADE ME CRY. AMAZING.

- Storm Constantine - Wraeththu Trilogy - The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit - this trilogy blew me away with the strange innovative plot, and the ideas! The first book is my favourite though - the narrator is innocent and captivating, well worth exploring.

- Storm Constantine - Wraeththu Trilogy - The Fulfilments of Faith and Desire (currently reading)

- Orhan Pamuk - My Name is Red (currently reading) - reading this book is an experience. There’s certainly a reason why he won the Nobel Price for literature back in ‘06. Definitely a book and a half, can’t wait to finish it.
- Russel Brand - My Booky Wook (currently reading) - Unless you really really love Russel Brand, this book may put you off him for life. Just saying.
- Chuck Palahniuk - Haunted (currently reading)
