Books I’ve Been Reading

posted on January 14, 2016

Lots of travelling always means lots of reading! What better way to spend long train journeys?

Buy The Last UnicornThe Last Unicorn is a classic. If Patrick Rothfuss says it’s the best book he has ever read, you know it’s worth looking out for.

TitleThe Last Unicorn
AuthorPeter S. Beagle
GenreClassic/Fantasy/Fairy Tale
Rating (out of 5)5
Age-group10+

Buy Prisoner of the Inquisition

Among the most powerful books I have ever read, I now know that Theresa Breslin is an author I want to read more of!

TitlePrisoner of the Inquisition
AuthorTheresa Breslin
GenreYA/Historical Fiction
Rating (out of 5)5
Age-group13+

Travelling BackwardsI picked up this one because I was sure that a book called Travelling Backwards written by a person called Toby Forward had to be entertaining, at the very least. I was not disappointed.

TitleTravelling Backwards
AuthorToby Forward
GenreFantasy/Magic

Tumtum and Nutmeg

Tumtum and Nutmeg: The First Adventure reminded me of an Enid Blyton story! I devoured it the way I used to devour Enid Blyton not so long ago.

TitleTumtum and Nutmeg:The First Adventure
AuthorEmily Bearn
GenreAnimal Stories
Rating (out of 5)4
Age-group8+

These are the ones that stay with me: I know these are authors I will keep a lookout for!
