April Reads
The Graces by Laure Eve ★★★★
I really engaged with the plot of the story completely in this one, I couldn't wait to figure out who the Graces myself. I thought River's character was predictable but easy to connect with. I'm quite looking forward to the second instalment to this series later in the year and seeing where the story goes to next.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz ★★★★
I didn't know what to expect from this book, with quite a overall blurb on the back I was curious to see what the pages had in store for me. It was also on the 'mood busting' section and that couldn't be closer to the truth. This book was a really good feel, emphasis on friendship as well as relationships with parents and significant others too. I couldn't help but attach myself to Aristotle's character, he was somebody we could all relate to growing up and the author really managed to write a book which is great for young people to read. I couldn't put this book down and if the cover interests you then I can guarantee the enjoyment of the storyline.
I've seen this book on the blogger grapevine for quite a while and considering it's not something I would usually draw myself to reading I wanted to give this one a go. The book is a collection of poetry and prose about relationships, from the initial falling in love, to within the relationship and even to the heartbreak. It wasn't difficult to relate to something or another of the poetry within the book, there are some really gorgeous illustrations within the book too. They really help to emphasis the text in the book. I managed to get through this book quite rapidly because the poems weren't particularly long. I only gave it 3 stars because whilst it was a great book it wouldn't be something I would probably read in the future.
