The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman
This book is full of surprises, it is short and sweet but it is full of magic and wonder. I loved this fantasy novel, but what got me hooked was Gaiman's writing. It's beautiful, unique and strange. Neil Gaiman's version of magic is completely different to anything I've ever read before and I absolutely loved it. 181 pages of utter perfection.
▌Facebook ▌► A book that everyone pressured you to read.
Twilight.
I'll set the scene, you're fourteen, you're highly influenced, you succumb to peer pressure fairly easily because you really don't know any better. Now, your best friends are all reading this book, with two hands on the cover, holding an apple. You think 'it looks boring' your friend replies, 'no, it's really good!'. So you agree to read it. You re-read it so much that there are multiple bends in the spine (May I add this is the only book I own with bends in the spine). I was always Team Edward.

The Fault in Our Stars - John Green
I read TFIOS at the end of 2012, about October/November, so a few months after it came out in Ireland. I realise that it was popular at that point because of the vlogbrothers and the success of John's previous books but it wasn't really until this year that TFIOS became such a sensation. I'm just happy to say I have been a Nerdfighter since 2012 and that I have been bawling my eyes out and waiting patiently (OK so maybe not too patiently) since 2012.

My Sister Jodie by Jacqueline Wilson
It's not that I think I would absolutely loathe this book if I read it today, I think that reading Jacqueline Wilson when I was young really set me up for my life as a reader. I cared about her characters, laughed with them and sometimes even got sad for them. But, I think if I read them now they wouldn't have this affect on me, maybe I'm just too old for them or maybe I've just more of a steel heart then I think I do.
▌Instagram ▌► A book that has the most beautiful cover in existence.
Teardrop - Lauren Kate
There's nothing to say about this other than, I read Lauren Kate's Fallen series and I wasn't 100% in love with them and I wasn't too keen on reading anything else of hers, but then I seen this cover. I was sold, hook line and sinker. I needed it on my shelf. It's been there since it was released on October 22nd 2013, and I still have yet to read it.. Oops.

► A book that you wish was made into a movie.
Maybe Someday - Colleen Hoover
This books is absolutely beautiful, all of the music and all of the hear-ache made this book breath-taking. If a movie were to be made I think I would go see it in the cinema every single day. Because WOW! I just can't even comprehend it.........▌Goodreads ▌► A book that you would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Now, I know this book came out in 1999 and almost everyone has heard of it. But, this book is filled with tension, love, loss, heart-ache. It's a beautifully written coming-of-age novel about a young teen who has demons, demons he tries to suppress. I loved Charlie so much. I have made my friends read this and not one of them has been disappointed. I love this novel, if you haven't read, do! Right now. Stop what you're doing and go pick up this book! Then watch the movie. Read first. Movie Later.
That's all from me, sorry for the blog silence lately but, with a new job finishing off my first year of college and just needing some personal, away from laptop time... I hope you enjoyed this tag!
There will be a review up on Sunday of 2 books, so stay tuned! :D
