Mid-week update

So, again, I would like to give a little update on what I’ve been up to in the last week or so:

·       As a follow on from my last post, I’ll briefly tell you about my own United Nations experience.  Last week I took part in a Model UN event in Birmingham.  There were committees, there were alliances, there were resolutions and there was a General Assembly – just like the real UN!  It was so much fun; my confidence rocketed as I met loads of new people and had to do a bit of public speaking (eek!)

And without a doubt, my little UN introduction was just the ticket in terms of preparing me for the event!

·       Since The United Nations: A Very Short Introduction I have read two novels.  Both were YA fiction but very different.  Firstly, an adorable novel called Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell which I must say is one of the best books I have ever read.  Secondly, I finally got round to reading Divergent by Veronica Roth.  There’s been so much hype about it and, all in all, it was an enjoyable read.

They’re so different because Fangirl is quite under the radar but I think they both deserve equal recognition!

·      And finally, I am currently reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. I loved Looking For Alaska so I thought I’d give this one a go.  What’s most enjoyable is that I’m reading it at the same time as a friend so we’re able to share thoughts and opinions as we go!

(Reviews for these three books will be posted in due course as always!)

If you’ve read any of these books feel free to post your thoughts in the comments below.
