Burning Impossibly Bright

It's nearly 2015! Happy new year everyone! I read 61 books this year, which was one over my target, woop! Here are my top ten (in the order that I read them because I couldn't order them!): here are eight, the other two were library or Kindle reads!  1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell ( review ) After all the hype I couldn't ignore this one, and I'm so glad I didn't! Possibly my favourite book of the year. A must read for all fans of YA! 2. Lobsters by Tom Ellen and Lucy Ivison ( review ) This had me laughing out loud in public places and making a fool of myself - and I couldn't care less. So funny and realistic and one that I'm sure I shall be revisiting whenever I need cheering up.  3. The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick ( review ) I adore the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and so this was a dream of a book. It fills in all the gaps of events only upon in the video diaries, including those exciting dates with Darcy ;) A must read for Pride ...

Title:  The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks Author:  E. Lockhart Series:   Standalone Pages:  352 Publisher:  Hot Key Books Date of Publication: 6th November, 2014 Source:  Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads:  Fifteen-year-old Frankie Landau-Banks has grown up a lot over the summer. She's no longer daddy's little girl - and almost immediately after starting the new semester at her highly prestigious school, she bags goofy-but-gorgeous Matthew Livingston as her boyfriend. They get along great but then Frankie discovers that Matthew is a member of a boys-only secret society that specialise in 'hilarious' pranks. Which hardly seems fair... especially when Frankie knows she's smarter than any of its members. And to prove this, she's going to teach them a lesson.
