The Sky is Everywere By Jandie Nelson
Fave Qoute The World is not a safe space
Published by Walker books
Blurb Lennie Walker seventeen wuthering heights fan obsessed claret player band geek. Also hopeless romantic, prone to scattering poems all over town and as four weeks ago sister less
Review: Meet Lennie at the start of the book we meet her as she is grieving for her sister who tragically dies and the book follows Lennie her family and friends. Its mainly Lennie processing her greif and finding who she is without her sister. I loved the plot and the depiction of Greif as everyone greifa differently I liked Lennies poems through out the story on different things like coffee cup and paper and inside her beloved copy of wuthering heights this brings a who new dimension to Lennie charcture and her greif for Bailey. The writing style is good but there were problematic points in the book but thats mainly because of what Lennies feeling and wanting to be close to her sister but doing it the wrong way. The chractures are great and they all go on a journey Lennies progression is very well done and by the end you really want her to do well and hope that she can be herself and not in the shadow of Bailey or her Mom who is not around. Lennie has a great material figure in her Gran who is no nonsense and is also grefing bit trying to be strong for Lennie it feels in the book she is trying to keep her family together. So it feels upsetting whe Lennies gran does break down and reminds Lennie that Lennie is not the only one who is hurting. I loved the book it has some really good points I will read more of Jandi Nelson's books in the future. The book is a slow burner and then it hooked me in the middle but the petered out in the end. I felt the end was very emotional and wasn't rushed. 4.5 stars for me

Lyre Bird
Lyre Bird By Cecelia Ahern
The Blurb." In the South West of Ireland rugged mountains meet bright blue lakes and thick Forrest. Deep in the woods a young women lives alone. forever secluded from the world her life a well -kept secret. She possess an extraordinary talent the likes of which no one has seen before a gift that will earn her the nickname of Lyrebird.
When Solomon stumbles into Lauras solitary existence her life is turned on its head. Pulled from her peaceful landscape to the cacophony of Dublin she is confronted by a world desperate to understand her.
But while Solomon knows the world will embrace Laura, will it free her to spread her wings- or will it trap her in a gilded cage? Like all wild birds. She needs to fly free..."
Fave quote "It seems that this Women is built entirely on secrets created on one Raised on one exists on one"
My Thoughts: I Loved Loved Loved this book so much the writing style is so whimsical and it has an air of Magical Realism its is in my Opinion the best Cecelia Ahern book ever its so cleverly written and the Charctures are so likable I love Laura as a reader I really felt her vulnerability as she is thrust ed into the modern world after being secluded for so many years and living in a Forrest to having to take part in a talent show and be the star in a documentary. I also like Solomon he was amazing in my opinion her went to a great chracture journey his charcture felt trapped until he met Laura and i loved his and Laura Chemistry. The Charcture of Bo on the other hand I didn't like her at the beginning I hated her decisions in the story but then I warmed to her at the end and I just wanted to give her a big hug and tell her everything will be allright she also had a great charcture Development through out this book. I would of liked to find out more about Rachel as she was a Character who was in a same sex relationship and I would of liked to find out more about her Girlfriend and her instead of just spinnerets which is a shame as this could of changed the book and have a extra layer then just concentrating annoying Charctures like the guy who invented the Britain's got talent like show I did like the other contestants especially the contestant with the Dummy who gives Laura advice I liked his charcture so much. The Plot was amazing and the plot twist at the begnning and at the end I didn't see coming i love Solomon family apart from Rory who is a bit of a douche bag for what he did to Laura. I gave this book 5 out of 5 on goodreads as it was sooooooo good and i devoured it I would love to own this book one day and just reread it but read it slowly so I am soaking up all the words. Cecelia Ahern is a fantastic Author and i can not wait to see what she writes next. on this blog I give this book a Magical 10/10 so good.
