War Horse is one of my favourite novels of all time. I love this book, from when I was younger to now. It will always be a favourite of mine. I love the book and the film as it is just a moving story. Something I love about this novel is the lengths Joey will go to just to get back safely to his owner Albert. Albert joins the army just so he can find his horse Joey and take him home. Eventually they find each other during the war, but Albert has injured his eyes so he isn't able to see Joey but knows it is him. It is a moving novel because of the love Albert has for his horse Joey.

Day 30- Your favourite book of all time
War Horse is one of my favourite novels of all time. I love this book, from when I was younger to now. It will always be a favourite of mine. I love the book and the film as it is just a moving story. Something I love about this novel is the lengths Joey will go to just to get back safely to his owner Albert. Albert joins the army just so he can find his horse Joey and take him home. Eventually they find each other during the war, but Albert has injured his eyes so he isn't able to see Joey but knows it is him. It is a moving novel because of the love Albert has for his horse Joey.
Day 29- A book everyone hated but you liked

I've read some bad reviews for these 2 novels. However, I really liked both of them. I liked following the story of Ana and Christian's life in Fifty Shades. The sex was just in the background for me as I just wanted to find out if they eventually got married and lived their lives happily together. The Name of the Star was a good paranormal story. I kept reading to find out who/what Jack The Ripper was and what would happen to the main character. Whether she would be a victim of the Ripper or be the one to catch the Ripper. It has been a while since I read this novel so I have forgotten the main female characters name. I shall re-read this novel before I read the 2nd in the series.
Day 28- Favourite Title of a book
This diary is really sad, but really inspirational at the same time. It tells you all about Anne's life whilst they were in hiding. She died so young, but she inspired a lot of people throughout the years after she died. Everyone who reads this diary is moved by her story and her short life. One of my favourite novels.
Day 27- The most surprising plot twist or ending
The ending for Under The Dome was quite a sad ending in my opinion as I wasn't expecting it to happen. I was hoping the characters would get out of the dome, which they finally did, but I wasn't expecting what happened before the dome came down. As for 1st To Die I wasn't expecting the final plot twist as to who the real killer actually was. I thought they had caught the killer, then you find out that no they actually haven't as it was someone else entirely in the novel. 2 novels that stunned me right until the final pages.
Day 26- A book that changed your opinion about something
Wentworth Hall changed my opinion about books from the 1900's. At first I didn't think I would like books which are like the TV show Downton Abbey, but when I read this novel it totally changed my opinion on them. I thought this was a really good novel as it was filled with intrigue, secrets and mystery. If anyone has any suggestions for other novels I can read that are like this then please feel free to do so in the comments.
Day 25- A character who you can relate to the most
I can relate most to Bella Swan from Twilight. When she first starts at her new school she is the shy awkward teenager who didn't have any friends and found it hard to get to know new people. This was like me when I was at school as I was really shy aswell and can still be shy at times. However, Bella became a more confident person as she got to know people and that is the same with me. However, I didn't end up as a vampire when I finished school, which is a shame as vampires are super awesome.
Day 24- A book that you wish more people would've read
XO is a brilliant crime novel in my opinion as you never knew who the killer was going to turn out to be. There were loads of twists and turns within this novel so it was always filled with action and tense scenes. It was nail-biting until the final action scenes when you found out who finally committed all the murders. I wish more people would read this novel especially those who love crime novels. This is perfect for music fans and crime fans.
Day 23- A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven't
I've had these books on my bookshelf for a long time and still haven't got round to reading them. Hopefully I will soon. I own the first 2 books in the Deadtown series. However, I still need to buy a copy of Return to Paradise and when I get that I shall start reading Leaving Paradise. I love Simone Elkeles books and I love zombie books so can't wait to finally start reading each of these novels.
Day 22- A book that makes you cry
This novel is by my friend Gavin Bain and it makes me cry every time I read it. One part that makes me cry is Gavin finding out one of his friends died in a playfight and Gavin and his friend were having a playfight at the time. This is a really sad story in my opinion. It is one of my favourite novels, but it will always make me cry whenever I read it.
Day 21- The first novel you remember reading
When I was growing up I loved reading Goosebumps novels. I loved reading scary stories and Goosebumps were the best as they were about anything from ghosts, to haunted houses, to monsters, etc. One of my favourites was Attack Of The Jack-O'-Lanterns. Totally loved this book as it was a good Halloween read as it is about children going trick or treating on Halloween.

Day 20- Favourite romance book
This is such a good romance novel in my opinion as it contains not just the romance aspects but also vampires. This series is about a family of vampires and each of their romance stories with the women in their lives. This is the only novel I've read from this series so far, however I hope to read the other novels soon. Love every aspect of this novel as I love supernatural novels. Don't normally read romance novels, but I am starting to get into them now as I have just started to read more of them. Everyone needs to read this novel if they are a fan of romance novels and vampire families.
Day 19- Favourite book turned into a movie
I loved Breaking Dawn Part 2. I found Part 1 kinda slow as not much happened apart from the wedding and Bella getting pregnant/having the baby. The action scenes were in Part 2 and I loved this film. I especially loved the fight at the end in which major character died. I almost cried when I saw the major characters die, but was then relieved when I found out it was just Alice's vision of the future. I loved all the characters throughout this series of books/films.
Day 18- A book that disappointed you

I thought I would really enjoy this book as contains lots of historical references and yet I didn't enjoy it. The book just didn't have much happening and I found it a really slow dull read.
Day 17- Favourite quote from your favourite book
One of my favourite quotes is from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The quote is- 'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb. What a stupid lion. What a sick masochistic lion'. I love this quote.
Day 16- Favourite female character
One of my favourite female characters is Maura Isles from the Rizzoli and Isles series of books by Tess Gerritsen. This photo is of Maura Isles from the TV show Rizzoli and Isles shown on Alibi. I love her because she is really smart, always tries to see the good in people and does the best at her job that she can even when she is not permitted to do her job. The show is a lot different from the books, but I love the book and the show. Maura is always up against lots of different challenges and always comes through them. She wants to see the good in everyone, but that doesn't always work out as not everyone is a good person.
Day 15- ;Favourite male character
Finnick Odair is one of my favourite male characters because of his charm, his wit and he does everything he can to protect his mentor Mags. Mags was his mentor when he won the hunger games. However, Mags sacrifices herself so that Finnick, Peeta and Katniss can survive the poisonous fog. This broke Finnick's heart as you could tell how much he loved and cared about her. He is just a beautiful person who will do anything for the people he loves (Mags and Annie). Plus in Catching Fire he is played by the gorgeous British actor Sam Claflin.
Day 14- Book turned movie and completely desecrated
I loved the book as it was quite a quick read. The film was good, but I didn't see why they needed to split it into 3 films when the book is really short. There wasn't many action scenes in the first film, but it was still an enjoyable film. 2 characters I love from the book and film are Fili and Kili. They are just loveable and really funny characters. Plus Kili in the film is played by the gorgeous Aiden Turner from Being Human.
Day 13- Your favourite writer
One of my favourite authors is Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series of books. I have read all of this series more than once. It is one series I love to re-read when I'm stuck on what to read next. I love all different authors, but she is one of my favourites.
Day 12- A book you love but hate at the same time
I loved this book because of the characters, the storyline and never knowing what was going to happen next throughout the story. Some of the characters I really liked such as Barbie, Julia and others. The TV show is quite different from the book though which I find good as characters who die within the first 50 pages of the book are still alive in the TV show. However, I hated this book because it was a really long read and took a long time to read. This book is over 800 pages long so took me a while to finish it.
Day 11- A book you hated

These were 2 books that I hated. The Book of Blood and Shadow I found really boring and quite dull as nothing much happened throughout the book in my opinion. It was just a unenjoyable read for me as it was long and I couldn't get into what was supposed to be happening throughout the novel. Brother/Sister was also quite a boring read for me. I can't remember the exact plot, but I mainly think it was about an incest relationship between a brother and sister possibly. It has been a while since I read either of these books. I don't mind books like Brother/Sister, I just didn't enjoy this one as nothing much happened throughout the story.
