Well this was another good read, not as good as the first in the series but still full of quirky moments that kept me entertained when I had to wait around at the doctors surgery.
3.75/5 :)

13 Little Blue Envelopes - Maureen Johnson
Well this was a lovely surprise and a well written jovial book.
I read it all yesterday in a few hours while James played Pokémon.
Ginny's way of 'writing' (as she was the narrator) was delightfully sweet and each character was described in such a way that you could picture them but still create parts of them yourself rather than the over analysis of Meyer's fruit and repetitive character descriptions.
One thing I found perplexing was Ginny's lack of experience of some aspects of life, I know it's strange to suddenly be in another country and have to cope with their money but other scenes showed her even more bamboozled than I think she should have been.
Despite that minor flaw I thoroughly enjoyed her adventure and the beautiful conclusion. Although I do have to say that MJ doesn't give a full conclusion to all storylines. I've heard that this is the way she always writes but this time I'm glad because it makes me want to read the sequel much more!
4/5!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
My re-read of this FANTASTIC book took place during my stay at James' house during this Easter break but I totally forgot to review it!
I go my own set of the first 5 books (the 6th having been written by Eoin Colfer and once I've finished these I'll buy that one!) was gifted to me on my 19th Birthday and the first book (HHGttG) even has it's own "make your own cover" with stickers.
I hasten to add that I will not be using them as stickers for the front of my own book.
Anyhoozle.
It is one of the best books ever, read it.
5/5 bananas.
