A Keen Reader = A Keen Blogger



One of My Favourite Childhood Authors


I've just been reading "From the Desk of Bee Drunken" and this latest blog highlights that most bloggers are keen readers. So here are some of my favourite books, that I have read over my 31 years.

Childhood favorites:
The Magic Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton
The Secret Blog
The Secret Seven Books.
The Fantastic Five Books.

Comfort reading:
Going the Distance - Christina Jones
Christina's Blog
Stealing The Show - Christina Jones
It Could Be You - Josie Lloyd
Career Girls - (For some reason I cannot remember the author of this book but it will come to me).

Novels I have read time and time again.
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Not Without My Daughter - Betty Mahmoody -
I have read this several times and just want to read it again and again. Betty's story is so moving and it's actually been educational at the same time as it has taught me a few words of Farsi, some of which are very similar to my mother's native Assyrian.

Angel Uncovered - Katie Price ( I had wanted to read this for ages after reading a snippet of Heather's whilst on holiday last year, so you can imagine my surprise when I got it for Christmas off kev's mum and dad.)
Funland - Richard Laymon

I'm also a fan of Autobiographies and Biographies. Here's just a few to name:
The Sound of Laughter - Peter Kay
Cheryl Cole.
The Kindness of Strangers - Kate Adie
My Side - David Beckham
My Story - Lewis Hamilton

Books I would like to read this year: TBC
