Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I found this book to be a crazy book full of heart and humour, as well as having a deeper meaning and while I typically enjoy more serious books I did find that I enjoyed reading The Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody.

The Spick and the Span
I found this book to have interesting character relationships while still being highly comical,something that means it is rated quite highly in my opinion.I also enjoyed the sheer wackiness of all the characters ,not to mention the city it was set in!

Wolf Siren
This book was a really interesting and beautiful book that challenged stereotypes and just had a lovely meaning. I did feel the ending was slightly rushed, but otherwise it was just so beautiful and heartbreaking. I'd give this book a 9/10, since it was so good.

Maya

Wolf Siren
We both enjoyed how there was an element of tyrancy. We both enjoyed how there were plot twists at every conrner and the little details really stood out. Another detail that really added to the overall feel of the book was the way the author portrayed the visually impaired main character.

The Boy I Love
This book is like no other, it is incredible, not only does it show a perspective not often shown in books, but it also shows the light and love in war. I personally don't often read books about war or romance but I love this book. I also admire the way it's written and beautiful language used.

Wolf Siren
Wolf Siren is incredible, one of the best I have read, it shows people how someone can be 'different' yet we wouldn't notice because they are resilient and just like us. It also teaches us about prejudices and not everything being as it seems. It shows a brilliant perspective but a different one I would love to see more of. It also uses show not tell which is embedded really well. I generally love fiction and animals but this brings it to the next level. As well as being seen as an amazing book you could say it's a rewrite of Little Red Riding Hood. I love this book because it shows the battles of someone who is partially blind and the battles they fight against people who are in power but are corrupt and people who are supposed to help them.
