I know a lot of you have probably read the Twilight Saga, or probably met one of the thousands of Team Edwards or Team Jacobs. I also know what it is like to have been UTTERLY obsessed with the books; however, I have grown out of them. And although I could hate the books with an icy vengeance, I still adore the way Stephanie has written them.

Firstly, let’s look at the first instalment of the Saga. Twilight, after reading it countless times, does become quite boring, although, when left for a while, it is actually fast paced, with possible danger at every turn. I love how it shows how daunting arriving at a new school where you know no one. I do also like the fact that she is quite clumsy and, as a “petty” human being, le vampire boyfriend must swoop to her rescue when the sadistic tracker leads her into a ballet studio.

I know there is a lot of prejudice hovering around these books, but seriously, they are well written and structured, and they’re a great romance novel for those who do like the little bit of romance. SO! I would ask all of you who say “Twilight SUCKS!!” to just sit down and read it, I know it seems something to fan girl over, but honestly, it’s an amazing read.

Gunfire, Parachutes and Silencers

Half British and half Arab, Paul Rashid is proud to be both heir to the ancient Dauncey Place in England and the leader of the Rashid Bedouin of Hazar in the Persian Gulf. He is a man for whom family honour is everything. So when he uncovers an international conspiracy that threatens to use any means necessary, including murder, to deprive his family of the oil wealth that is their birthright, he vows to gain vengeance - and to make sure the world takes notice.

I have nearly finished the book ‘Edge of Danger’ by Jack Higgins. I found this book quite interesting as the flow of events was quick running and Sean Dillon (the main character) found himself in some dodgy situations.

However, if you are offended by rude language in parts, I would recommend steering away from this novel, as there is some mild – strong language throughout. Anyway, with that said, this book has been one of the BEST reads of this year, so if you are not worried about the language throughout, please, read it!!!

Blood Red Silver

The only thing Avery Hood can recall about the night her parents died is that she saw silver – deadly silver, moving inhumanly fast. as much as she wants to remember who killed her parents, she can’t, and there’s nothing left to do but try to piece her life back together....

I have recently finished “Low Red Moon” by Ivy Devlin. This book was quite interesting, written in the first person and full of flashbacks and mystery surrounding the reasons she couldn’t remember her parents death. I’m going to try really hard not to include spoilers for you guys. So all I’ll say for now is that it is a really good book, however, for those of you who really love action packed novels, it may be quite boring. But within this novel, patience is the key; you will be pleased at the end... that is if you like gore ;)

This book is very... hmm, how do I say it.... sensual in parts... Where both Ben Dursic and Avery Hood feel a gravitational pull towards each other, however, on several occasions, Ben stops as it gets interesting... which is a pity because I was enjoying it, haha! But in all honesty, I would definitely recommend this book to any of my friends.

Vampires vs. Werewolves..... hmmmm....

What is one thing I always enjoy doing? Reading! I love reading with my whole heart, it allows you to leave reality for a few minutes (or hours in my case) and live life through a different person. I know a lot of people my age nowadays tend to prefer videogames, and will spend hours on end firing the heads off various alien attackers. As I don’t really care for alien attacks or fantasy apocalypses, most people find me on the end of my bed reading. I read quite a lot, from supernatural vampires vs. werewolves, romance, and action packed novels based on real life.

I have been asked, “Are there any barriers to reading?” my reply to that? No, of course not! There’s no point reading if you aren’t willing to try something a little different, as well, many people tend to take to reading as time fillers, and they read on the train, the plane, in the car, on the bus... But there’s countless places you can read! Whether it is the seaside, in the woods, in a wheelbarrow! It’s all good fun when you think about it.
