A Court of thorns and roses
This is a fantasy novel written by Sarah J. Maas that is part of A court of thorns and roses series. It is about a nineteen year old girl called Feyre that hunts in the woods in order to feed her two sisters and father. One day when she was out on a hunt she killed a wolf which turned out to be a friend of the faerie. The wolf died and she took the pelt of the wolf. A couple of days later the faerie storms into her house saying that she had killed his friend (the wolf). In order to keep her family alive she has to go and live with that faerie in Prythian, the home of faeries. During her time with the faerie many events happen and they fall in love but an unfortunate event happens resulting in a near death for Feyre.
This novel has a very similar concept to the other series that Sarah J.Maas has written. They both have the same faerie concept, how humans and faeries don’t get along very well and how there is a faerie that everyone fears. In the first half of A Court of Thorns and Roses it was a bit boring as there was no action and was an introduction of all of the main characters. The second half however became nerve-wrecking and full of action. It was intriguing and I couldn’t stop reading because nearly every page in the second half made up for the boring part in the first half of the book. The main character, Feyre, had to go through a series of dangerous trials and her life depended on it. If she doesn’t pass she will die. I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 5. I recommend this book to fantasy lovers and fans of Sarah J.Maas. It really suits my taste and I look forward to reading the second book.

Short Stories: WHERE IS DANIEL?
The time was an early morning in the winter of 1941. Falling snow packed onto the hard labourers of Gulag 10 WLA as they begin setting off into the mines and factories somewhere in the far east. Malnourished, mistreated and muddy, the inhabitors of this typical Gulag were kept under strict control of General Victor, who gave harsh punishments to any prisoner who dared riot or worse, insult the government. It was a normal evening. The prisoners were escorted back to the Gulag through the freezing taiga by cattle carriages. They waited in line for their daily rations: Rubbery potatoes, dried bread and lime water. If one behaved well and boasted high production, he/she would sometimes be rewarded with a small knob of fresh corn, a snack the guards would gladly feast on. General Victor was feasting on a large chicken when Archie, or formally, Guard Number One burst into his room reporting misbehaviour between two prisoners. Ben (Guard Number Two) and Mile...
Book Review - I Am Malala
This book - I Am Malala - is about Malala Yousafzai, who fought for the right of girl's education, when the Taliban took over Pakistan, Malala's home country. It was an autobiography novel, written by Malala herself with help from Patricia Mccormick and was written for teens. Malala was an ordinary girl living in Pakistan with her family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed school, which she did very well at. However, in Pakistan, women were restricted in what they could do and be seen doing and these worsened when the Taliban came when Malala was 10 years old. Even at this age, Malala did not like that women were treated so horribly. So she spoke out, but the Taliban did not like this. They took action and shot Malala on her school bus, she never got to and probably never will get to make that journey back home. The bullet was shot into Malala's head and narrowly avoided her brain, it took Malala several surgeries, physical therapy sessions and a flight halfway across the...
