The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
5.0
I thouroughly enjoyed this story. It's a book that I've had sat on my shelves for years and have never gotten round to reading, I finally decided to pick it up yesterday, it was so good I finished it less than 24 hours later. It's funny, the characters are excellent and good pacing. It helps you are learning about the universe bit by bit as Arthur (the MC) does so it isn't overwhelming by having too much world building all at once like some other stories in this genre.
Stranded with a Billionaire by Jessica Clare
3.0
Enjoyable, mildly problematic
I enjoyed reading most of this book however Logan clearly requires therapy for his issues. I feel it would help him so much. Other than that its nice story, a fairly easy read which also introduces to the characters that will feature in the upcoming books.

Six Months to Live by Lurlene McDaniel
4.0
Emotional
This book is obviously sad, though the title is slightly misleading. Obviously it follows a girl who has leukaemia so it was never going to be a light read. That being said it is also not as depressing as I thought. It mostly focuses on friendship, understanding and hope.
Also Dawn's mental image for her body fighting the cancer is the best I've heard.

Nope
This really was not my thing. I debated giving it another star but couldnt think of a single part of the story I liked. I'm sure there are people who will like this book but not me.

Nine Lives by Peter Swanson
4.0
I really enjoyed this book, atleast after I'd got all the characters straight in my mind, I guessed a few of the plot points ahead of time but there were a few that suprised me. The story was intriguing and held my attention throughout. I would reccomend this book.
Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
5.0
Three very different girls who are bonded through sisterhood and shared experiences. I loved how very different they all were and how much everyone in the book tried to make the best out of some rather bad situations. This book held my attention the whole way through (which as it is written for children is extremely important).
I would definitely read this book again.

Once Upon a Billionaire by Jessica Clare
4.0
A shockingly good story. I have been so suprised by this series, I expected romance with very little plot or character development and ended up pleased because I found both. The characters in this story are my favourite so far, Griffin is stuck up but I adore him and it's hard not to love Maylee. Their relationship is also slightly problematic as he is her boss temporarily but that is addressed (thiugh I'm still not sure how happy HR would be with the situation)
This series will never be a classic but its a fun read and I'd reccomend it.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
2.0
Not a bad story I guess but it felt dragged out and repetitive, if you did a drinking game where you took a shot every time he said "by and by" or "by the by" you would be dead by half way through the book.
I don't think I would reccomend this book.
