Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
His Dark Materials and The Ruby in the Smoke by Phillip Pullman
Black Rabbit Summer by Kevin Brooks
and of course the Harry Potters

(as you can see I like a lot of books)

Top five authors:
Again I don’t really have favourites but authors I love but haven’t yet mentioned:

Cornelia Funke
Adele Geras
Scott Westerfeld
Anthony Horowitz
Meg Rosoff

(Though he’s a playwright I also want to include Shakespeare, I’ve seen some amazing productions of his plays and I love Othello; it made me cry)

Favourite genre/s:
I’ll read anything as long as it’s a good story and well written but I like ones set in the past or a different world. I’m also a softie and quite like a bit of romance. For some twisted reason I like tragedies and deaths as I like crying at the end; the more traumatising the better.

I’m currently reading:
I'm really enjoying Typhoon by Charles Cummings which is a spy thriller set in China during the transition between British and Chinese control when the country was full of uncertainty and fear.

 

What’s on my bookshelf:
My house is full of bookshelves but I have two lovely floor to ceiling ones in my room which contain anything and everything! I have all the picture books I loved as a young child as well as the books I love now, they’re great to look at and reminisce.

Current location:
My bedroom - London
