Q is for Quick Reads #AtoZChallenge
For letter Q, I’ve gathered together some of my favourite quotes from quick reads such as short stories, comics and novellas.
P is for Poetry #AtoZChallenge
For letter P, I’ve compiled some quotes from some of my favourite poets, including Philip Larkin, T. S Eliot, Maya Angelou, Edgar Allen Poe and Spike Milligan.
O is for Orwell #AtoZChallenge
For letter O, I’ve chosen dystopian author George Orwell. I borrowed my grandad’s copy of Animal Farm when I was about 14, and though I didn’t fully understand the political allegory, I found it very interesting.
N is for Neil Gaiman #AtoZChallenge
For letter N, I’ve chosen fantasy author Neil Gaiman. It’s unusual for me to watch a film before reading the book, but that’s what happened with both Stardust and Coraline.
M is for Maggie Stiefvater #AtoZChallenge
For letter M, I’m focusing on Maggie Stiefvater, another of my auto-buy fantasy authors. I enjoyed the Wolves of Mercy Falls series as a teen, then the Raven Cycle series as a young adult, and more recently I discovered The Scorpio Races.
L is for L is for Laini Taylor #AtoZChallenge
For letter L, I had lots of authors to choose from, including Lauren Oliver, Lauren James and Lauren DeStefano. But I had to go for Laini Taylor, my ultimate fantasy author.
K is for Kiersten White #AtoZChallenge
For letter K, I’ve chosen to feature quotes by fantasy author Kiersten White. I read her novel Paranormalcy years ago, and more recently I was gifted her Buffy the Vampire novel Slayer, which I’ve unfortunately not had time to read yet.
J is for Jessica Khoury #AtoZChallenge
For letter J, I’ve chosen one of my favourite contemporary sci-fi authors, Jessica Khoury. She explores the ethics of emerging science such as genetic engineering, cloning and artificial intelligence through the Corpus trilogy: Origin, Vitro and Kalahari.
I is for I Am Change #AtoZChallenge
For letter I, I’ve chosen quotes from I am Change by Suzy Zail. It’s an eye-opening and emotional story about life for a young girl in a Ugandan village.
H is for The Hunger Games #AtoZChallenge
For letter H, I’ve chosen to focus on one of my favourite young adult dystopian series, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
