Off the Page by Jody Picoult and Samantha Van Leer- Book review


I just finished reading Off the Page by Jody Picoult and I loved it and totally recommend it to all lovers of romance and happy endings. It continues on from Between the Lines and although you could read either by themselves, I highly recommend both since they compliment each other and I just can't get enough of this concept.
 

Off the Page begins when Delilah's prince that she's been waiting for, finally steps of the bus and falls into her arms. Oliver has to get used to high school and being a person that he's not. At first everything is perfect. But when the book begins to correct itself, Oliver isn't the only one outside the book. Soon reality hits Oliver and his friends in an accident that can't be undone. In life, you can't just go back to the first page and start again. Though worse comes to worst when Edgar swaps back with Oliver in the book and discovers that his mum has cancer. In order to save the original author of Between the Lines, they need one more swap. Will wishing be enough, and will anyone ever be satisfied with the life they have?

 This sequel to Between the Lines is a fantastic follow on. Samantha Van Leer and Jody Picoult did a fantastic job on their second young adult fiction novel. It was so gripping and it had the same concept as Between the Lines and had a great writing style. The story has a happy ending after all of the unexpected turns.


 I would suggest this book for 12-15 year olds. It is very romantic and it is from three different perspectives. Although I loved this book, I would recommend reading Between the Lines first. Also, the version of Off the Page that I bought has 15 gorgeous coloured pictures throughout the book and has coloured text too. I really like the prettiness of the book that just makes it come alive.

 This gripping storyline inspires me and all of the twists in the plot makes me hungry for more. I hope that you will read this book and enjoy it because I definitely did. I also wrote a book report about the first book, Between the Lines: http://thepenandinkpot.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/between-lines-by-jodi-picoult-and.html

A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness

Image
I stocked up on books from the library to read over the holidays and one of the books I picked up was  A Monster Calls  by Patrick Ness. I must say that this dark and mysterious book wouldn't have been the type I would usually go for, but I was intrigued by the dramatic pictures that crept through the pages of the book. I enjoyed it too, not in the way you would normally enjoy a book, but in the way that makes you read more and more, and when you're not reading it, you're thinking about it. Also, it's one of those books that, once it ends, it takes a moment of pondering when you stare blankly into space and give several satisfied sighs. Yeah- it's one of those books. It begins with a character called Conor. His life is pretty hard to say the least. His mum's cancer is getting worse and one horrific nightmare haunts his sleep. Then, the monster calls. Conor's mum always said it was a yew tree, but this yew tree turns into a monster who is taller than th...

Goodreads

I am a hungry bookworm who is constantly hunting for new, delicious books to devour. Up until quite recently, I've had trouble finding the right books and good opinions on them. Since I discovered "Goodreads", an app and a website ,( https://www.goodreads.com) most of those problems have been solved.  "Goodreads" is an online site with thousands of reviews, ratings and recommendations on books. Any books can be searched and marked as "read", "to read" or "currently reading". If a book is marked as "currently reading" there is a option of entering the page number that you're on and the percentage of progress through the book will be shown. With each book comes its blurb, information on the author, a rating out of five stars based on heaps of personal ratings, and finally, many comments and reviews from other readers.  One of my favourite things about "Goodreads" is the fact that there are so many revi...

The Beginning of my trip in EUROPE!

Image
I apologise for my absence from uploading blog posts for the past few months, but it is partially due to a family holiday spent in Europe. Spread throughout this post and several other future posts, I’m going to share with you my amazing experience and recommendations from all over the continent in the cities of London, Dublin, Paris and Rome. Firstly, in London, there were so many famous landmarks and buildings to see, we didn’t run out of things to do until the end of the week. Highlights included Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the British Museum. I found Westminster Abbey absolutely incredible. We bought audio guides and got tickets to see inside the Abbey, it was definitely worth it. The building is very old and the architecture is amazing. On the walls and even under the floor are the burial places for the most famous people of British and European history. The sculptures and decorations covering the coffins and tombs are very detailed and there were endless...
