Hi Guys
In honour of it being national Roald Dahl day last Sunday, I'm talking about what books I would want my kids to read, if I ever have kids that is. Roald Dahl is one of my favourite authors and he is know mainly for his books for children. In order to not just have Roald Dahl and Dr. Suess books on this list I'm limiting myself to one book per author. As usual this is in no particular order.
The Lorax by Dr. Suess
This is my favourite Dr. Suess book. I think it just have the best message, on that I would love to teach to my children. It has one quote that I especially love that is “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”.
Abert Le Blanc by Nick Butterworth
My Granny got this book for me when I was really little and I made my dad read it too me every night for a good 6 months. So purely for sentimental value, this is one of my favourite books.
The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl
This is my favourite Roald Dahl book and it's also really short, I can read it in half an hour, if not less. I love the fantasy that is mixed with reality. I remember desperately wanting a magic finger , it really sparked my imagination.
The Werepuppy by Jaqueline Wilson
This was the first book I ever read by Jaqueline Wilson and I've reread it so many times. It was such a fun read.
The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton
This series is the only series I've ever liked by Enid Blyton. It is just a book that everyone had read when I was in year 1

Booktubeathon 2015 wrap-up
Hi Guys
I know I'm appalling it's been 4 days since the end of booktubeathon and I'm only just writing this, eek. The truth is I completely failed booktubeathon 2015. I only finish 3 books and one of them was 12 pages long.
The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl
This is my favourite Roald Dahl and I've read it so often I can read it in less then half an hour. So, when I heard about read a book without putting it down I instantly thought of this. I did manage to read this without putting it down, yay. In total it's 59 pages.
Don't Judge a Book by it Cover by Adele Parks
I loved this story, it was really interesting how she manages to tie everything together in such a short space of time. This was the only 'book' on by shelf by an author with their surname beginning P. In total it was 12 pages.
Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson
This is one of my friends favourite books and she is very persistent about people reading the books she likes. I'm so glad she got me to read this, really enjoyed and a review should be coming soon. In total it's 449 pages.
I also read the first 3 chapters of 'A Pirate's Time Served' by Chris Malburg, which doesn't have a page count but I'm guessing that around 30 pages. Then I read the first 37 pages of 'Dying to Know You' by Aidan Chambers.
