(The following are in no particular order - even though they are numbered)
1. Jumping to Confusions by Liz Rettig
This is a light-hearted book about a teenager called Cat, who thinks she's unattractive and less worthier than twin sister Tess. Enter a new guy, Josh, who actually seems to be paying more attention to Cat than her stunning sister; Cat can't believe it until she finds out that Josh is into boys which makes more sense to her. BUT that's okay with her, she didn't even like him so why would it matter?Recommended age group: 12+
2. First Term at Malory Towers by Enid Blyton
The first book in the 12 book series by the awe-inspiring Enid Blyton (the last six books in the series are actually written by Pamela Cox in the style of Blyton - and they're just as lovely!). Darrell Rivers is off to secondary school and she is going to be attending boarding school, more specifically Malory Towers. Follow her adventures as she makes new friends, new enemies and new stories!
Recommended age group: 8+
3. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
A sweet story following two characters 'Eleanor' and 'Park' accordingly who are completely different to each other and yet so similar at the same time. The writing is beautiful, it flows like a dream and the characters make me feel alive that it hurts, does that make any sense?
Recommended age group: 14+
4. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
If you haven't read this book yet then what are you doing with your life? This is your nudge to push you into the right direction - seriously, your life will be better after you read these books.
Recommended age group: 13+
5. Anne of Green Gables by Lucy M. Montgomery
Oh, I love this book so much! I went into it thinking it was going to be boring but it proved me completely wrong and changed my perspectives on classic books forever. The book follows a red-head orphan who has been recently taken in by two childless folks and the adventures that occur afterwards. If you don't fall in love with Anne then there's something wrong with you.
Recommended age group: 8+
6. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
Okay, the same applies to this one as with the Fault in Our Stars. BEST BOOK SERIES EVER. The first one will always hold the dearest place in my heart though because I just feel so connected to it; this was the first time I was introduced to my role model (Hermione Granger) and the first time I loved a book and the first time I wished a book was real. If I could erase my memory just so I could re-read this book and relive it like the very first time then I would.
