For Review: The Moon Of Gomrath by Alan Garner
Enthralling sequel to The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
It is the Eve of Gomrath – the night of the year when the Old Magic is aroused. Had Colin and Susan known this, they would never have lighted a fire on the Beacon, thereby releasing the uncontrollable ferocity of the Wild Hunt. Soon they are inextricably caught up in the struggle between their friend, the Wizard Cadellin, and the evil Morrigan.
The strength of their courage will determine whether or not they survive the awaiting ordeal…

Looking For Alaska by John Green
First drink, first prank, first friend, first girl, last words! A poignant and moving crossover novel about making friends and growing up from American author, John Green. Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words — and tired of his safe, boring and rather lonely life at home. He leaves for boarding school filled with cautious optimism, to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another.
The Princess Diaries (Book 1) by Meg Cabot
‘You’re not Mia Thermopolis any more, honey,’ Dad said. ‘You’re Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo. Princess of Genovia.’
A PRINCESS?? ME??? Yeah. Right.
One minute Mia’s a totally normal Manhattan 14-year-old. Next minute she’s heir to the throne of Genovia, being trailed by a trigger-happy bodyguard, taking princess lessons with her bonkers old grandmere, and having a makeover with someone called Paolo. Well, her dad can lecture her till he’s royal-blue in the face, but no way is Mia going to turn herself into a style-queen. And they think she’s moving to Genovia? Er, hello?
The Other Two
I bought the Avenue Q companion book from Dress Circle in Covent Garden yesterday which is basically a book which tells all about the inhabitants of the musical Avenue Q, which is closing in October (I think) and from Amazon I bought ‘Doctor Who: The Writers Tale’ because I love Doctor Who and Keris said it was good (and it is so far!) – it basically talks (throught emails) about how Doctor Who gets written (and more).
What did you get this week? Happy Reading!
The Moon Of Gomrath sounds really interesting. I think I would like this one. x
Great book week. I really want to read Looking for Alska. Enjoy
Ooh, Looking For Alaska! I hope you love it
