Sophie’s Choice…
✨ Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to everyone reading this week’s instalment of Sophie’s Choice, the series of posts where I tell you what YA books have grabbed my attention this week! ✨
This week’s book is…Heartstopper by Alice Oseman! There is no way I could talk about YA graphic novels without at least mentioning Heartstopper. When it comes to coming of age romance books there are very few that have reached the level of popularity that the Heartstopper series has! Heartstopper is a beautiful story that really makes you feel like you actually know the characters. It's a great representation of a teenager’s life and all the difficulties that come with it. Overall Heartstopper is a heartwarming book that is guaranteed to lift anyone’s spirits! ✨

All worth a read!
And this ...the brilliant and scary Prophet Song by Paul Lynch...which should become a modern classic.


As Ireland is taken over by a totalitarian government and her husband disappears, Eilish has to choose how to save her family as the country she loves descends into chaos.

Millie's choice...
I love 'The Hunger Games' series because it gives a story line that explores a dystopian society which allows readers to feel many intense emotions as the book continues, the books are so addictive it is hard to put the book down once you are stuck into it!

🌟Today beings 16 Days of Activism calling for an end to gender-based violence. The campaign runs from Tuesday 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and finishes on Wednesday 10 December, Human Rights Day.

It is estimated that 25% of women have experienced some form of gender-based abuse before the age of 16. In England and Wales 3,000 offences are recorded each day, with 1 in 12 women a victim of violence every year, with the actual number expected to be much higher.
