The Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan.

Rating - ★★★★★

Age Limit Suggestion - 11+ (quite violent and supernatural themes)

Okay so I normally don't like to review series as its difficult to review multiple books at a time but I recently discovered that many people don't read the books because they didn't like the films, so I am here to clear things up.☺

The Percy Jackson series tells the story of (you guessed it) Percy Jackson. Percy is a demigod who is the son of the Poseidon and is sent to fight terrifying monsters on quests and gets into all sorts of trouble with his two best friends: Annabeth and Grover. 

The series includes The Lightning Thief, Sea of Monsters, The Titans Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian (in that order). 

I love this series because it is serious yet comedic and incorporates most of my favourite things to look for in a book also despite what some may think, the books are nothing like the films because they are so much better so even if you didn't enjoy the first two films, just give the books a go because I highly recommend them! 
Although these are amazing books, I would recommend that you had a minor inside knowledge of Greek mythology because you may other wise be quite confused...

If you are interested in reading this brilliant books then its quite difficult to find a box set of all 5 but you can buy them separated for a minimum of £5.00 but as I always say you can check your local book shops or libraries. 

Have fun, read it for yourself and happy reading.

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

Rating - ★★★★

Age Limit Suggestion - 13+ (not for the faint hearted)

My Sister's Keeper is dramatic journey through out and tells the story of Kate, a young leukemia patient, who spends day in and day out having operation after operation just to see her next birthday and Anna, a genetically engineered child who's spends her time having operation after operation but just to make sure her sister sees her next birthday. 

Honestly, I really enjoyed this book - it is well written and perfectly capable to tug at your heart strings (get your tissues ready!) 

Don't get me wrong, who doesn't love a good fantasy book now and again? But I just feel this book has such a large aspect of realism to it that it almost turns a fictional story into a non-fictional, real life drama!  Also because this book changes the protagonist almost every chapter, you get know everyone's story and it makes you seem to connect with the character even more which, I guess you could say, makes it just that bit more heartbreaking.

If you are ready to take on reading this book, and by that I mean when you have bought out Kleenex, I found it for £6.29 in WHsmiths <<here>> but as I always say, remember to check out your local libraries and book shops! 

Have fun, read it for yourself and happy reading.
