Saoirse's September

Hi everyone! This week, I thought we could do things a little differently. It's just me, writing a blog post on my own (a rare occurrence), so I thought I would write a post about the books I read in September.

This month was a good month for me, as I read (and bought!) a lot of books :).

Let's get into the list!

1. Morganville Vampires 3-5 by Rachel Caine.



Rating: 7/10

This is a series about a girl (Clare Danvers) who moves to a quiet town close to home to attend college. What she doesn't realise is that this "quiet" town is crawling with vampires. After an attack she at her dorm, she moves into the Glass House, where she learns the truth about Morganville. She wants to leave ASAP, but will she be able to get past the vampires and will she leave her newfound friends....


2. Immortals: Evermore by Alyson Noel


Rating: 6/10

This is the first book in a series about a girl (Ever) who falls for a boy she meets in school. But this is no ordinary girl - or boy for that matter. Ever can read minds and see auras, and Damen is the only person she has met who seems to have none. She slowly falls for him as he brings her to beautiful places, but all is not what it seems... 




3. Twilight: New Moon (Book 2) by Stephanie Meyer

    Rating: 6/10

I bought this book for myself, as I really enjoyed Twilight. This book was good, but not as good as the first. It follows the story of Bella, a normal girl who falls for Edward and beautiful and different boy. But in the first chapter he leaves her heartbroken. But all is not what it seems... What is going on?




4. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

Rating: 8/10

I bought this book because I had read the Delirium series and loved it. This book didn't disappoint! It is about a girl who has to relive her last 24 hours over and over again, trying to perfect them each time. I really enjoyed its originality,. 



That's it! Some of you may be skeptical on whether I read all those (6) books in just 30 days. I can tell you, on my honour, I did. I read extremely fast (something that isn't always a good thing) and very often. I might write a blog post about that, actually, if this one gets a good response. 

Thanks for reading until the end. I hope you enjoyed this. I would definitely recommend buying/borrowing any (or all) of the books I mentioned above.

Happy reading!

Saoirse

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik
