LGBT Month: Trumpet by Jackie Kay

This is the only book I have read to date that has breached the subject of transsexuals and that has an all round positive message about sexuality. The way that Jackie writes about the occurrences in the book in order to portray the length that transsexuals go through, to tell a love story based on deception and lies to the rest of the world, yet a life of truths for Joss Moody and his wife Millie.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a collaborative novel by the amazing mind of John Green (who brought you The Fault in our Stars and Looking for Alaska) and the fantastic David Levithan (Boy Meets Boy, The Realm of Possibility.)

As you can tell by the title, there are two Will Grayson’s, both protagonists, with Green writing the chapters for one and Levithan writing the chapters for the other. It remained on the New-York Times Children’s Best Sellers list for
three weeks.

War of Vampire Literature: Vampire Academy V. House of Night!

After the big mistake of reading the Twilight Series (my apologies to any fans out there, I just didn’t really like them very much, but that’s just my opinion) I was wary for a while afterwards when it came to choosing a book with a supernatural theme, namely vampires.
It came down to one summer holiday, we were at the airport waiting for our flight to Spain when I realised I didn’t have enough to read whilst we were away, a very regular dilemma for me. So I headed into WHSmiths, picked up the first book I saw in the young adult section. It just so happened to be the first book in the Vampire Academy series, and it would be the book that would re-kindle my love for all things fantasy and supernatural. Then it was a few months later when I started reading the House of Night series.

Now the task of having to go through every book I have read in the past year and trying to find one that was published in 2013 was such a momentus task I decided to stick to my most favourite read of 2013. Not necessarily published in 2013 but one that I have read in the past year and found so enjoyable I’ve put it to the top of my recommendation list.

So my best read of 2013 is: The Night Watch
