Is It Just Me?: Confessions of an Over-Sharer by Chrissie Swan
5.0
Chrissy Swan is hilarious on radio so as soon as I spotted her book in store I knew I had to have it. I was definitely not dissapointed. Chrissy makes real life situations just seem so funny and is person you can really relate to. I will now have to find more written by her as I wish this book just kept going!
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
5.0
This book was beautifully written and gave me goosebumps through out. All though I loved this book I wouldn't read it again as I found it too heartbreaking at the end, however this is definitely a favourite and a must read for those of you that haven't yet
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
4.0
Fangirl is the first book I have read that has been written by Rainbow Rowell (yes I am yet to read Eleanor and Park) and I must say I can see what all the hype is about. Fangirl is a really cute story which I found relatable in some aspects because I myself am in University. Levi and Reagan were by far my favourite characters, Reagan because she reminded me so much of myself and Levi because he such a genuine and happy guy. The reason I didn't give this book 5 * is because...
1. I wish sometimes that Cath would man up, however I do respect her character
2. Sometimes I found the tiny snippets from the fanfiction and actual simon snow books kind of boring
3. Ending was a little too abrupt for my liking
Other than that this book was down to earth yet fun and definitely one I recommend

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
4.0
Really interesting to say the least. This book touches on a taboo topic and as much as this relationship is wrong sometimes I was rooting for Humber. That is why this novel is so good. Nabocov makes you question your beliefs and sends you into the mind of a man who most people would never even want to be associated with let alone meet.
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
4.0
I really enjoyed this novella. I find Holly very relatable (don't know what that says about me). Now time to watch the movie =)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
5.0
Bit annoying that this is the only copy of the "Philosopher's Stone" when it's the REAL title by a women who is British not American. To find the orginal covers with the orginal name would be nice goodreads.
Bossypants by Tina Fey
4.0
I got Bossypants as an audio book and I'm really glad I did. Tina Fey narrates the whole story which makes it extra entertaining. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of Tina and Amy, however this book changed my perspectives on her!
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
2.0
Urgh, am I the only one who really did not find this book funny? The premis was definitely interesting however I just couldn't get into it. I got to about over half way through and just had to put it down out of pure boredum (even though the book is tiny and should have been an easy read). I just didn't find any of the characters funny and just really couldn't get into it.
