Books of the Year


This year I have absolutely smashed my reading goal by almost double. There have been a lot of books that have been blah, some have been in the middle and some that have been AMAZING, and that’s what this post is all about. Out of the amazing books I have read these are my top 5. Also I only decided to put one Dorothy Koomson book on my top favourite books of the year even though I have read most of the books I own by her because it would be all the books by her on this list. 


The Brighton Mermaid 
Nell and Jude are best friends, as teenagers they find a body on the beach, the body is dubbed as The Brighton Mermaid, three weeks later Jude disappears. 25 years later and still haunted by the death of The Brighton Mermaid and the disappearance of Jude, Nell quits her job to find out what happened to them both.  

The book will take you on an emotional journey of Nell, her family and friends. 





The Help
The Help follows three woman in 1960’s Jackson Mississippi. Two of whom are Help for whites families and one is a recent university graduate. Together they write a book about being The Help in Mississippi and what it’s really like. 


I loved reading The Help again. I found it so much more enjoyable to read the second time around.  


The Great Gatsby 
I love the book. It’s a book that I can get lost in its world. Where I feel like everyone is just so glamorous. 



The Lucky One
The Lucky One is about an army veteran who feels like a photo of a girl he finds while out fighting brings him luck. He walks across USA and bonds with the woman and her young child much to the disappointment of the woman’s ex husband 

I am absolutely love with The Lucky One. I love the movie but don’t think that it did the book justice. Which in someways is good because when I read the book I wasn’t seeing the actors playing their specific parts 


The Truth About The Rochdale Sex Ring and The Girl Who Stopped Them 
This book broke my heart when I read it.
