What are you reading?
Yes, it’s holiday time again! What are you reading? I’m going to be catching up with all the new YA titles on my wish list.
I’m currently reading “You don’t know me” by Sophia Bennett . It’s an entertaining and thought provoking book; looking at just what happens to a group of friends when they’re entered in an Xfactor stylee online talent contest and how the power of social media and reality TV affects their lives. I’m loving it 🙂
Why don’t you add a comment telling me what you’re reading this summer?

Don’t eat and read!
I’ve just finished reading Grass by Cathy MacPhail. It was a real page turner – I genuinely couldn’t put it down (which explains the slight smudges of beetroot juice from my sandwich).
It’s all about a boy who witnesses a murder and his choice not to grass (hence the title) on the murderer and the consequences this has for both him and his family. It’s a really convincing portrayal of the dilemmas he faces. You see him being sucked in to the world of the gangland leaders and understand how easy it is for him to justify his actions.
