Sorry this is so late.
All Fall Down – Ally Carter
24th Feb – 2nd March
Apparently last month I read a lot of Ally Carter! So much so that I have now read all of her books! I would say that this series is probably my second favourite series of hers – wedged nicely between Gallagher Girls and Heist Society. However, I have to say that I preferred the second book in the series, but I often find this, I did with the Gallagher Girl series.
Bonjour Tristesse – Francoise Sagan
3rd March – 4th March
This is the first short story I have to read for one of my module at uni. I enjoyed this more than I expected to and I am using it for my second assignment of the module. I must say that when I saw a quote of the back saying she was the “French version of F. Scott Fitzgerald” I was slightly worried as I really don’t like The Great Gatsby. However, although I can understand where they were coming from, I found Sagan’s novel to be so much more enjoyable.
Double Crossed – Ally Carter
4th March – 4th March
This is the first of two short stories that are available on Kindle by Ally Carter. This one is a cross over novel between the Gallagher Girl series and the Heist Society series. I really enjoyed this and I felt it was very cleverly done. In addition, I don’t feel you have to read either series to understand it, although it does help.
Before the Fall – Ally Carter
5th March – 5th March
This is a good short story to introduce you to the Embassy Row series. It describes the events leading up to where the first story begins. I think I preferred Double Crossed, but it was still good for extra information about the story.
See How They Run – Ally Carter
5th March – 7th March
This is the second book in the embassy row series. I found it an easier read than the first book and it was definitely more interesting to read.
Love Rosie – Cecilia Ahern
7th March – 11th March
I love the film adaptation of Love Rosie, but I didn’t enjoy the book as much. There are a lot of differences in terms of the plot. In addition, the entire plot was written in the epistolary form with a series of letters, emails, notes etc. I would have preferred a normal novel form with other letters interspersed within the story.
Geek Girl – Holly Smale
11th March – 15th March
This is the first book in the series by Holly Smale. I have been wanting to read the series for a while now and have only just got round to it. It was a nice easy read and was quite funny at points.
Paper Towns – John Green
15th March – 16th March
I listened to this through an audiobook and really enjoyed it. It was very different to Fault in Our Stars in terms of plot, but in a good way. It’s quite refreshing for an author to write such different things, but to like both of them.
Perfect Scoundrels – Ally Carter
16th March – 18th March
It is the final book in the Heist Society series and I feel that it rounded the series off well. The plot was well delivered and all loose ends were tied up properly.
Thanks for Stopping By! :)
