So I got:
The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oskar Wilde
This is about a man who models for an artist and wants to stay young forever as youth is valued as the most important aspect of a man’s character. It is a classic but it’s only 220 pages with good font size. It isn’t too heavy going so it’s a good introduction to classics. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and the first half was a bit slow moving in the same way Harry Potter 1 is slow moving when he’s at the Dursleys.

Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher
It’s about a girl who is writing to a man on death row in Texas and she feels very guilty about something and she thinks he is the only person that will understand. Tension starts to build as you realise what has happened but you can’t work out to who it happened to.
It’s good, despite her poor marketing department.

Across the Universe
This is about Amy and Elder. Amy has been frozen with her parents, to be rewoken on the new planet only she is woken up 50 years too early in an attempted murder. Elder is the future leader of the space ship and is trying to discover how to be a better leader under the rule of Eldest. It’s my big leap into the world of sci-fi.

Every Day by David Levithan
This is about a man who lives every day of his life in a different person’s body until he falls in love with one persons girlfriend. I read Will Grayson Will Grayson which I really enjoyed so hopefully this will be good.

AND TWO POST APOCALYPTIC FICTION BOOKS
YES I FILMED THAT.
I am Legend by Richard Matheson
This was made into a Will Smith film which I haven’t seen but apparently the book is amazing. Also I am pushing myself out of my comfort zone because it’s about zombies.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
This is about a father and son walking down a road in America going South when the world has run out of resources. I probably will review these two together as like a comparison but don’t hold me to that.
