Review #8: Rookie Yearbook Four

My immediate thought when I finally held the book in my hands was "wow, it's much bigger/heavier than expected". Well, naturally. The book has 352 pages no less, jam packed with words, advice, art and colours. I am absolutely delighted to present my favourite pages. RookieMag.com has been a place of solace, education, entertainment and happiness all in one. Despite being just past the age demographic at age 20, I still will be going back to read it as much as I can. You're never too young to learn. I'm going to post pictures of my favourite pages.

Review #7 So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson

 So You've Been Publicly Shamed - Jon Ronson
MacMillan (2015)

“We are defining the boundaries of normality by tearing apart the people outside it.” 

When it comes to me and books, I'm either at a loss for things to read, or a book has come at the right time in my life. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and, luckily for you readers, has happened again this week, Sunday to be exact, even though the book was only released two months ago.

Review #5: Paper Towns by John Green

(SPOILERS MAY BE PRESENT)

I went to see the Paper Towns as a film yesterday and I thought since I'd only read the book just before watching the film, I'd review both. I am not an avid reader of John Green books by any means. I've read maybe three books written by him.

Review #4 Cash: The Autobiography by Johnny Cash

Cash: The Autobiography- Johnny Cash
Harper Collins

Review #3 War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

You may have noticed that so far all three books being reviewed on this blog are books that were released years ago. But I know for a fact there are many many books out there older than myself that are amazing, I just haven't read them yet. I grew up reading Michael Morpurgo's books. I don't think you should go a lifetime without reading at least one. I also think you can enjoy his books no matter what age you are. They are timeless. Without further delay I hope to give you a quick summary of the book and I hope you enjoy.

Review #2 - How To Be A Woman by Caitlin Moran

You know how people sometimes say that a book can come along at the right time in life? And how others speak of a book having the ability to change their lives? Well that is exactly what this book was to me. I first came across it at the age of 16 after it was recommended by a friend. This is the book that I need to keep with me at all times, as a safety blanket of sorts.

Review #1 - Born Free and Living Free by Joy Adamson.
