Holly's blog

Hi everyone! I move to university in a week and thought I'd show you what books I'm planning on taking with me.

The first book I want to take with my is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone illustrated by Jim Kay. I love the Harry Potter series and it always makes me feel cosy and at home. I thought I'd take this book to stop me feeling homesick as Harry Potter always makes me feel better and my edition was a Christmas present from my boyfriend so it is also quite sentimental. Plus the illustrations are beautiful!

The second book I'm planning on taking with me is The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. This is quite a short coming of age story. I read this a few years ago and loved it as the story is so beautiful yet sad. I love this book and find it quite comforting so I thought I'd take it with me.

The next book I'm planning on taking is Jane Eyre . I've been wanting to read this for ages and still have yet to read it. It is a well loved classic and the rest of the books I'm taking are YA so I thought taking a classic would give me a bit more of a variety!

Another book I want to take is The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern. I read this last year and it was one of my favourite books of 2015. It is a lovely and magical story with wonderful characters.

A fourth book I want to take is Am I Normal Yet by Holly Bourne. This is my favourite book I've read this year which is why I want to take it!

I also want to take one book from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. The Mortal Instruments is one of my favourite book series. At the moment I want to take City of Glass as it is one of my favourites from the series.

The last few books I want to take are the Throne of Glass series. This is because I'm currently reading  the Throne of Glass series and am still only reading the first book in the series.

So those are all of the books I'm planning on taking to university with me. Let me know what books you're planning on taking!

This is my last full month off before I start university in September and so because of this I want to read as much as I can!

The first book I want to read is The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness. I've borrowed this from the library so don't have long to read it but I've just started and so far its really interesting. I'm only a few pages in so I can't tell you too much about it but I am enjoying it!



The next book I want to read before it has to go back to the library is Monsters by Emerald Fennell. I don't know much about this but I've seen it on Carys' from Carys On Reading's talk about it a lot and I really like the cover. It is set in a seaside town which appeals to me as I live in a seaside town but have never read a book set in one.



Then if I get around to it before it has to be returned to the library, I want to read The Walled City Ryan Graudin. I don't really know much about this one either but I've seen it mentioned on booktube a lot so thought it'd pick it up.



I'd love to read How Hard Can Love Be? by Holly Bourne this month as it is the second book in her Spinster Club Trilogy. I read the first book Am I Normal Yet last month and adored it so I'm hoping to love this one just as much, if not more!



Then finally I'd love to re-read Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. I read this a year or two ago and can't remember much from it but I do know I really enjoyed it. I want to re-read this and read the rest of the series as the 5th book is coming out in September and I'd quite like to be caught up with the series.
