I thought I would start reading this book for ten mins before bed. I am here two hours later,blood shot eyes and feeling rather fragile and broken. This is the first book I have read by Patrick Ness and he is an absolute genius. This book brought feelings out in me that I didn't even know I had. I think its one of those that will always stay in the mind when talking about books which have rocked your world. Absolutely heart breaking and amazing.

This was my first book by the author and I was drawn into it from pretty early on. Anton was intriguing and when the body was found I had my suspicions about who was behind it. Turns out I was way off course with that one and would never have guessed.

Because of how short it was I didn't think we really got to know the characters that well but I did enjoy it.

I will be looking for more books from the author.

I am still reeling from this book. I genuinely think this is one of the best books I've ever read in my life. The story is so intricate and incredibly thought out. I am amazed. I loved the characters and the importance of each one, no matter how small. I can't say too much about the story itself without giving things away and that's the last thing I want to do. I just need everyone to read this book so you can understand how great it is.

Are you into learning about Santa Claus or how he came about? I have found a book that is called “Santa Claus Worldwide” by Tom A. Jerman; it a decent and excellent book. I learned quite a bit about Christmas and some of the many holidays. The history is not bad.

This book is primarily nonfiction and stands set on the history of Santa Claus. How it the name Santa Claus come about? The many different characters that Santa Claus exists and become. You will be surprised at how many other names are associated, and these lovely children call him.

You will learn a bit about the origin of Christmas and Santa Claus. I learned much about how the Christmas tradition came about and how it changed over the years. What we know about our Christmas traditions today differs from when they first came about and how our practices have evolved.

This book is okay for me. It was not rated low because of how it was written. It was slow and tedious for my taste. Suppose you are a fan of nonfiction books and would enjoy learning about the history of St. Nicholas and Other Holiday Gift Bringers. In that case, This book may be just for you. I enjoy learning about St. Nicholas and the many other holiday gift-bringers. I just thought it was not for me. But not where I did not understand what it was about. This book was okay, and I enjoyed learning new history.

I don’t usually read Children’s Books. I used to love them when I was a kid, and of course, those were the books on which I learned how to read. Those are the stories that I will always remember with happiness in my heart and they will always have a special place in my heart.

I was lucky enough to win The Frightened Little Flower Bud on a giveaway from Booklikes, and I couldn’t be happier! This is a short, cute story about one flower, and the process of how it blooms.

Before it blooms, it has many fears as to what is going to happen, it fears that the sun will dry it, and the rain will drown it, and that it won’t be as beautiful as the other flowers out there.

It reminds me of the fears that us people have every day before we go out of the door. We fear this and that, without realising to enjoy our lives, and live them like they are our last. A perfect description of how fear and doubt can let us down, but also a perfect example of what happens when you actually get the courage and go out there, and realise that yes - you can be the prettiest flower out there.

I liked how there are questions at the end of the books, to engage the little readers after reading it. However, in all honesty, I believe that the images inside the books won’t keep a kid there for very long, and they might not be the most exiting this in the world.
