Five Spectacular Books That You Totally Need to Read!

 

Happy Wednesday, guys! I thought this week I'd make a list of some of my favourite books for you guys to check out. I love, love, LOVE books (as you've probably guessed), so I thought I'd tell you some of my faves in case you want to check them out!
So, here it goes...

1) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Okay, so I know what you're thinking...'What is this, English GCSE?!'... but seriously, this is one of the most wonderfully moving and beautifully written books I've ever read in my whole entire life. Set in the 1930s, a time of segregation in the US, this book tells the story of Scout as she watches her father act as a defence lawyer in an intense and thought-provoking court case. As well as this, Scout lives near an ancient, eerie house supposedly inhabited by Boo Radley, a phantom-like character who practically feeds off the fear of those living near him. This is possibly my favourite novel on earth; check it out!
Warning- you'll need tissues...

2) The Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling
So, this is kind of cheating seeing as there are seven books in the series, but I can't exactly pick just one! The books follow Harry Potter, a young wizard growing up at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As well as hearing of all the craziness he gets up to, we follow him on his journey to end the rise of Voldemort, a powerful wizard trying to take over. Oh, and  there's Dumbledore, never forget Dumbledore...

3) The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien

I loved this book; it's funny, clever and generally such a fab story! The book follows Bilbo Baggins on his journey with Gandalf (the second coolest wizard of all time- after Dumbledore, of course) and a group of dwarves, to defeat Smaug the dragon and retrieve the dwarves' treasure. They encounter tons of crazy obstacles, involving getting captured by goblins- scary stuff, if you ask me...










4) War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

War Horse is such a moving
story about a boy who is separated from his horse during the war and is determined to be reunited with him. The book tells the powerful account of his journey through war, with the goal of finding his companion. This is such a wonderfully written book by an incredibly talented author, and all of his books are complete genius. I definitely recommend them all!

5) The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby

Last but not least, this is a really helpful book that guides you around your camera and gives you handy tips for taking amazing photographs! Whether you're a beginner or a professional photographer, this book will almost certainly teach you something new, whether that be how to hold a camera, or how to work your way around aperture, shutter speed and other things which really aren't as daunting as they seem! Be sure to check it out! 

I hope you guys enjoy them!
