The final book in the series will be released next year.

Leviathan by Scott Westerfield

This is the first of a trilogy. I've nearly finished the last one now and I have really enjoyed all of them. I first came across Scott Westerfield when I read the fast paced fantasy series 'Uglies'. This trilogy is just as fast paced with equally strong protaganists. It's set in an alternative history of WW1, in a world of fantastic machines and fabricated beasties. It's in the 'steampunk' genre of which I'm a fan. If you enjoy this trilogy you'll enjoy The Mortal Engines series. Morrin sensei

HE'S BACK....

The eagerly anticipated 8th book in the series 'Last Stand of Dead Men' is in the library and Skulduggery Pleasant doesn't disappoint.

Non-stop action, some shocking plot twists and the world is pulled back from the brink of disaster .... for today. But Darquesse is back again so no one will be safe for long.

Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is my favourite book ever. I've read it over and over and I always find more reasons to love it. It was written in 1813 and is considered a classic. Several film and TV interpretations have been made of it. It has romance, wit and fabulous characters. I find myself laughing the whole way through it but also enjoying the delicious tension between the two main characters Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
The first line of the book is one of the most famous opening lines of any novels.
Quoting Jane Austen, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

The Death of Bees

The Death of Bees is a first novel by Lisa O'Donnell. It won the Commonwealth Book Prize in 2013. I loved this book. It's about two teenagers who bury their parents in the garden. Yes, sounds odd but as you read the book you start to find out why and what has happened in their lives. There are some pretty heavy themes in this book but O'Donnell manages to get a lot of humour into the story. People who enjoy stories about relationships between people will enjoy this book.
