In honour of Roald Dahl day, I'm having a cuppa in my Matilda mug☕️ ~ "All the reading she had done had given her a view of life that they had never seen. If only they would read a little Dickens or Kipling they would soon discover there was more to life than cheating people and watching television."?

63 ~ A Boy Made of Blocks by Keith Stuart (Kindle edition📱) ~ Started: 18.06.17 ~ Finished: 18.06.17
Rating: 4/5📚
I found 'A Boy Made of Blocks' heartfelt. I loved the character of Sam, the book showed how first impressions can be wrong, people see Sam's quirks, his changes in mood, etc but they do not see the core of Sam.
Highly recommended.
61 ~ Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng (Kindle edition📱) ~ Started: 11.06.17 ~ Finished: 14.07.17
Rating: 5/5📚
'Everything I Never Told You' was a heartbreaking story, I felt sympathy towards all of the characters, I also felt frustrated because there was so much not being said & maybe if the family had really talked to each other, their lives would have been different.
Highly recommended.
