I finally managed to read Looking for Alaska last night - yes in one sitting - it is superb. If you haven't read it yet and you are a fan of all things 'coming of age' you must add it to your list.
Books I have read these holidays so far - More than this - by Patrick Ness - beautiful and heart wrenching, for the bigger reader; The 13 1/2 lives of captain Bluebear - fans of Terry Pratchett should like the humour and the vocab; Submarine by Joe Dunthorne - again a 'coming of age' story that involves the story of a young man's year of growing up - funny and sad all at once and very real. And of course Looking for Alaska....have reserved The Fault in our stars from the public library because it is always out of ours!
Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday and that you have time to read something fun/wonderful/crazy and great before we start back again.
