Forgetting's No Excuse the autobiography of- Mary Stott

Journalist, Campaigner and feminist, in other words an inspiration to all women. Especiallay to me. I want to achieve a journalist status ( a successful one at that ) and I strongly believe in women power and the feminist arguement in life. What Stott did is change the print industry from something extremely prejudice towards women and the women's pages in the guardian and changed the routine so that women had much more say. Her campaigning which is also explained throughout shows how much of a powerful role she played in her era. Not only is this autobiography a good read for journalists or students studying to be journalists, but her last chapter of the book describes her pain and journey through becoming a widow. She had to adapt to this and many women have said who are also widows that this particular book has helped them, all thanks to Stott. It is a hard book to read and I believe Stott struggled writing an autobiography as her natural writing format is particularly journalistic and that is evident throughout.

If you could see me now - Cecelia Ahern

This is the book I have most recently read of Ahern's as my sister is a strong dedicated fan of Ahern's collaboration. As you all know "The Gift" brung me to tears and this book also made my eyes fill up. I'm either very hormonal lately or Ahern just writes the most touching stories. The book is about a women who looks after her nephew and he says he has an imaginary friend, she then meets someone and falls in love with them, little did she know, he is the imaginary friend. He came along and changed her life and helped her which was his role but at the same time fell in love, but no matter what he had to leave. This is where I cried, he had to say goodbye. The book almost has a movie style film to it, you can tell her books and style are easily adapted into movies etc.

Where Rainbows End- Cecelia Ahern

Where Rainbows end was one of my favourite reads whilst I was on holiday. It's a nice summer, holiday stereotypical read. Not all relationships happen when they should, sometimes it takes years before you realise your perfect partner is someone you have called a friend for many years. It also teaches the importance of here and now, something can happen at any minute and change aspects of all your life, if the main characters would have went to the end of school ball together they would more than likely have got together then and there but it took them to the age of 40 plus before realising they were perfect for one another. It's a light hearted read and makes you desire the type of love they experience throughout. The whole book is written as if it is through notes, emails, telephone calls up until the last page of the book, when it is the here and now and both characters know it's each other they have been waiting for.

P.S I love you- Cecelia Ahern

Considering I saw the film adaptation of this novel before reading the original inspiration it was very easy to pick up where the aspects had come from, however, it was very different to the movie. I actually preferred the movie to the book because a lot of what happens in the movie doesn't even exist in the book. I preferred the ending of the film compared to the ending of the novel which was a good ending but the film was a lot nicer ( if i remember correctly ). I don't understand why the book would have people crying from page to page as I thought it was quite warming compared to what I expected it to be like. It isn't a depressing book as many people assume, it actually warms your heart a little.

The book of tomorrow- Cecelia Ahern

This is not one my favourite's out of the collection of her books I have been reading as of recent. This is the book I read after reading The Gift, although it never succeeded my expectations as The Gift is one of my fav books of all time now. Still remains the only book that has ever made me cry too. However, the story about a girl who has to move away when her father dies and finds a book that reveals what is going to happen the next day. In the end she discovers stuff about her family she never knew, it is an intriguing book and has that magical atmosphere that all Ahern's books seem to consist of.
