A Place Called Perfect | Helena Duggan

Pickpick

This is a 9-12 yrs fiction I read to my daughter as her bedtime story. She‘s 8 but still loves her mum to read to her. We loved this book. It‘s set in a town calked Perfect and the town is anything but perfect. There‘s lots of strange things happening then her own dad disappears. Then she meets Boy and they set off to discover exactly what‘s going on in this anything but Perfect town. Beware the Watchers are watching.

erzascarletbookgasm I like the cover! 🙂Cute! 6y

Day 13 Best book EVER. Easy choice it has to be House of Leaves this book still haunts me years after reading it. Mark Z Danielewski is an author that breaks the rules and pulls you head first into his books. If you haven‘t read it please don‘t look at it and think you can‘t it‘s worth it, there‘s a FB book club that will help you throughout. #thisisnotforyou #booksandshelfiesM18 #bestbookever

JennAndrew Is it very scary? I love a challenging read, but I‘m a phenomenal scaredy-cat! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 6y
Teakillamockingbird @JennAndrew Yeah it‘s messes with your mind, but it‘s an incredible read xx 6y

Day12 Swoon worthy. #booksandshelfiesM18 @Amabear It has to be Gone with the wind I read this when I was around 17 and fell in love with Rhett Butler
“You need kissing badly. That‘s what‘s wrong with you. All your beaux have respected you too much, though God knows why, or they have been too afraid of you to really do right by you. The result is that you are unendurably uppity. You should be kissed and by someone who knows how.”

rubyslippersreads Rhett!!! 😍😍😍 6y
Amabear Ooooo this is on my to read shelf 😍 6y
IamIamIam I love telling this story... a few years ago I took my grandmother to see this in the theaters. She's 92. I've always known she had a crush on Clark Gable so during that iconic scene when we meet Rhett for the first time, she leans over and whispers to me, "I'd love to wake up and find his shoes under my bed!" I lost it!! Nana's pretty fresh!!! ??? 6y

Day 11 late again I‘m bad at this, anyway Favourite place to read. To be honest I will read anywhere and everywhere but if I had to pick it‘s at the beach house we go to at the bottom off the Garden is a table and I love sitting there with a cup of blanket round me listening to the waves crashing against the rocks. Even on a cold Scottish night it‘s so beautiful. #booksandshelfiesM18

Day 10- Favourite book quote I have lots but as this is the best book I have and will ever read I picked this. #booksandshelfiesM18 @Amabear

ShookBelf This book is one of my choices for my reading challenge this year but I am so intimidated by it that it has sat on my shelf staring at me for the last three months! Must pluck up the courage at some point. 6y
AmyG @ShookBelf There is a buddy read for this in October if you want to join. Might make it easier to read...with a group. 6y
ShookBelf @AmyG - that sounds like my cup of tea. Would you post the details please? Thanks x 6y

AmyG @ShookBelf I don‘t really have any details. But....when I do, I will repost them for anyone who wants to do this. 6y
Amabear Sound wayyyy too scary for me but love the quote! 😍 6y
ShookBelf Just found a book club on Facebook for this - the author is hosting it so I've joined that. I'm about two weeks late but should hopefully be able to catch up. 6y
Teakillamockingbird @ShookBelf Pluck up the courage you won‘t be disappointed I read it about 3 years ago and started it again for the Facebook book club. It‘s a book that will stay with you forever you look at the pages and think how the hell am I meant to read this but please read it. Join the book club on FB the book we are only on the introduction in the book so easily find your way round. I‘m excited to read it a 2nd time as I‘m sure there‘s lots I‘ve missed xx 6y

@Amabear #booksandshelfiesM18 Day 5 My favourite villain.
Childrens books have the best villains, My favourite is Mrs Agatha Trunchbull, headmistress of Crunchem Hall Elementary School. A cruel sadist who hates children and tortures them in a cupboard known as "The Chokey" and torments the lovely Ms Honey, Trunchbull is a true bully, and a fantastic villain.

Amabear Hahahaha 😂 I hated her so much 6y

The Secret Garden (Collins Classics) | Frances Hodgson Burnett

@Amabear #booksandshelfiesM18 Day2 (late) 🙈 A book that defines you? The Secret Garden was one of the first books I read when I was about 7 I loved it and this beautiful story will always stay with me. It made me see that if you read a book it can take on the adventures you only dream about. I‘ve sailed the high seas, I learnt magic, I‘ve fallen in love all with the pages of a book. 😘

Amabear Love! I need to reread this. As a kid I hated it but I don‘t remember why. Probably a superfluous reason. (I‘m late too! Ug!) we were at a youth lock in all night 😂 6y

This is one of my favourite thrillers. I‘m not going to say anything to you about the book just trust me when I say is READ IT lol you won‘t be disappointed. It grabbed me from page one to the very last page with a plot twist that slapped me in the face I certainly didn‘t see it coming.

BiblioTori Welcome to Litsy! May every new page bring you joy, and your bookshelves become even more full! 6y

Loved this, this is a fun exciting witty novel. Definitely not your average run of the mill Vampire story. This is about a suburban family of vampires even though their teenage children are unaware off who they really are until one eventful night where nothing will ever be the same again. #matthaig #vampires

OSChamberlain This sounds great! 6y
