    Um I've read half this book, it's awesome To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Another book that's on my shelf well the family shelf is- you've probably heard of it- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling you could also listen to audio books on kindle

    Oh yeah I've heard of how to kill a mockingbird, defo heard of Harry potter because my cousins and a few of my friends are into them I've never really been into it but I'll give it a try also thinking of looking at fanfiction although that by itself is scary lol

    If you’re in to crime books there the one of us is lying series and the good girls guide to murder series they’re both teen books I think although TW
    They do mention suicide

    I love reading but quite a lot of the books I read are a bit heavy lol. I read a lot of John Green when I was younger but even then that’s still a bit heavy. I also really loved the enemy series by Charlie Higson and Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    One of my most favourite books I've read is The Binding by Bridget Collins, it's quite twisty but has a lovely arc about love. I also really loved, The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash which is based on true events of mill strikers, I didn't really think I'd enjoy it so much, but it was so gripping.

    One book that is interesting and beautifully written, is The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers. It's about the Iraq war and delves into how Western soldiers become disillusioned with their role in harming other countries. It's very interesting as it's written by a former soldier. I must admit, it is rather violent. Would recommend for the beauty of the words alone xx
