Reading list

I love reading good books - my particular favourites are the ones where you get completely lost in their plots and you fall utterly in love with all the characters. Here are some of my current favourites:

Chaos Walking trilogy ('Knife of Never Letting Go', 'The Ask and the Answer', 'Monsters of Men') by Patrick Ness.
“Here's what I think," I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. "I think maybe everybody falls," I say. "I think maybe we all do. And I don't think that's the asking."
I pull on her arms gently to make sure she's listening.
"I think the asking is whether we get back up again.”


The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
“And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.”

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.'

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
“Had Elizabeth been able to encounter his eye, she might have seen how well the expression of heartfelt delight, diffused over his face, became him; but, though she could not look, she could listen, and he told her of feelings, which, in proving of what importance she was to him, made his affection every moment more valuable.”

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
'Where is God? What is God?' 'My maker and yours, who will never destroy what he created. I rely implicitly on his power, and confide wholly in all his goodness: I count the hours till that eventful one arrives which shall restore me to Him, reveal Him to me.'

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
"Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
