For those of you new here, this is a look back at 9-year-old Nadia’s book reviews. So we return with the second instalment in this ‘Throwback Thursday’ series with The Worry Website by Jacqueline Wilson! Transcript It is about… Different peoples worrys[sic] that were typed in the worry website and commented on by people in…
This book was an emotional tale of sorrow, loss and family. Warning: it did contain multiple descriptions of both emotional and physical abuse, an aspect which surprisingly really touched me emotionally and even angered me at times. I was angered by Rick’s treatment of Tina, pantomime internally screaming “don’t do it!” when she returned to…
So basically, when I was younger I went to this thing called ChatterBooks where we – brace yourself – talked about books! While clearing up I’ve recently found a bunch of old ChatterBooks book reviews which I must’ve written when I was about eight or nine. So instead of letting them rot, I’ve decided I’ll…

This poignantly compelling trilogy (Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant) is by far one of the best YA series I have ever read, arguably even better than the Hunger Games. It explores a number of profound topics throughout. The whole concept is based around the fact (and warning because *spoiler alert*) that the world as we know…
So this book isn’t the most brilliantly written in a literary sense but I feel like the themes and ideas John Green tries to put across in this book are very real and raw. Now I’ve heard this book is very similar to John Green’s ‘Looking for Alaska’ but I haven’t read it, so I…
