BBAW Day 5: And now, the end is near...
And so I face the final...day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week.
Ok, so it doesn't have ring as the famous Frank Sinatra song, but the sentiment is the same.
I don't know about you, but I have absolutely LOVED this week of blogging.
I have met many new people, read so many different blogs and the lovely comments on my own blog has made my work actually seem worth it.
It's so nice to see my view counts go up (even though that's not important), to see that people are enjoying what I am writing and taking the time to click on my humble little page.
Thank you to every one who has visited and commented.
I love reading your blogs and I hope you enjoy mine too. I love blogging, especially about books, so it's great to share this passion with others.
Roll on BBAW 2013!!!!!!
Happy Reading

BBAW Day 4: Pimp That Book
Day 4 has been pretty hard for me. We have been asked to think of a book, books or authors that you feel need to be recognised more for their awesomeness. Also known as "pimp that book".
Most of the books I have read have been due to recommendations from others, so they obviously have the recognition in the first place. To get over my reader's block I have decided to interpret the topic today, and chose a book that, although it could be well known, I feel needs to be in the head's of every book reader out there.
That book is.
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.
Yes, so most of you have probably read it or heard about it, but my god I bet you are happy that you have. This book made me feel emotions that I have never felt before when reading a book.
It made me laugh and by god it made me cry. Hard.
John Green has a way of getting into the mind set of a 17 year old cancer sufferer that is almost disturbing. It's thought provoking, uplifting and romantic. You almost forget the story is basically about cancer and dying, and it's so believable too. It's not dramatic or tear out your hair emotional, it's real.
I mention this book to anyone I come across with a reading passion. The few people I know that has read the book can only praise it, and I encourage anyone who hasn't read any of John Green's work to read this as a starter.
It will change your life.
Hopefully.
What book do you "pimp out" to your friends?
Happy Reading and BBAW!!
p.s DFTBA.
