Top 5 Wednesday - 20/04/16

Happy Wednesday !! This weeks topic is : Intimidating Books 

 5. The Hobbit
I have always wanted to read The Hobbit so I could read The Lord of The Rings, but even thinking about it I don't think I could bring myself to read them! I feel as if I need to wait until I am a bit older to commit myself to reading The Hobbit.

 4. Great Expectations 
Great Expectations is one of the books I feel that I have to read it because of its significance in the world. Mainly because of Charles Dickens though. I am ashamed to say I have read none of his works. This in some ways intimidates me to read Great Expectations.

 3. Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre is a classic and I am so scared to read it, but I also really want to read it so badly because it's Jane Eyre. I want to know what everyone is talking about and I want to understand it completely so I feel as if I have to wait a little longer until I am ready to read this book.

 2. The Final Empire
I find fantasy a really hard genre to get into at first even though once I am into it I love it. The Final Empire intimidates me because I am scared that it will put me in a reading slump as I have been reading lots of quick and fast paced books. I think this book would be slow at first, but I still really want to read it and give it a go.

 1. A Game of Thrones
I think this one is self-explanatory, but I love the TV show and I have actually tried reading this book many times, but it is huge and I just cannot bring myself to do it!

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Book Review

Image
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by  Michelle Hodkin Published by   Simon And Schuster  on    September 27th 2011 Genres:   Paranormal, Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance Pages: 452 Goodreads “Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.”  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer delivered reality and truth into a supernatural and suspenseful book. Intrigue of Mara Dyer's character came from her being quite mentally unstable due to the accident that she cannot remember which killed her friends and left her alive. This makes Mara an unreliable protagonist and it is almost impossible to tell if what is happening is actually even going on in real life or just inside her head. However, I did find it quite hard to imagine what Mara Dyer physically looked like. I feel like the author did not exactly describe her appearance or even her ancestry (Indian) early on in the book, so I had a picture in my mind that didn't match with her description

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Title:  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Author:  Rick Riordan  Series or Standalone:  Series Genre:  Young-adult Fantasy Format:  Paperback Publication Date:  January 1st 2005 Goodreads Summary: Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. My Review: If you know me, you know how much I love my Greek Mythology and  this book just made me love it even more.  I enjoyed the whole concept of Camp Half Blood, which is the Camp that all Demi-Gods can go to to escape all of the monsters in the real world.  Rick's writing was very honourable and reading from Per
