New Book Club Read!

It's September! And that means a new book club title. The books are holding their breath in anticipation, so without further ado, our Teen Book Club choice for September is...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky!

We aim to have this read by 20th September, then we will post our reviews. If you read it before then or have already read it, feel free to leave your comments and reviews below. Please remember to *SPOILERS ALERT* where necessary - let's not give too much away!

The new young adult edition - exclusive to Waterstones *waves tiny 'W' flag* - has just been released and can be found in our Young Adult fiction section priced at £6.99. Don't forget you can get 25% off with your teen membership card, or you can have it as part of our buy one get one half price offer.

I hope you all enjoy this one! It is a personal favourite of mine and I CAN'T WAIT for the film, which is released in the UK on Wednesday 3rd October - "Orange Wednesday" win!

You can send us your book suggestions for October by tweeting your requests to @WaterstoneLeeds or commenting below.

Happy reading!

REVIEW: The Fault In Our Stars

by John Green

Star crossed lovers? Sound familiar? Well, I guess with a title like this AND it being John Green, I should have known what I was letting myself in for and the emotional trauma I was probably going to put myself through!

The novel is based around our dying heroine, Hazel, a girl living her last few months after a lifetime of cancer, medicine and hospitals.

One (of the many) amazing ways that John Green writes about people with illnesses, he doesn’t leave much out. Describing the sickness and aches Hazel is going though with intensive treatments, genuinely made me feel tired and achey too. Sometimes it can be quite exhausting, but Hazels witty commentary keeps it from getting too stuck.

About Us...

Welcome to the Waterstones Leeds Teen Book Club Blog!

This blog is basically our virtual book club where we can all post reviews about our favourite books and discuss (at least!) one book a month, share our favourites and recommend other super good books to others.

So…our first book, if there’s no objections (and there shouldn’t be because it is AMAZING) is…

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

What we want to do is aim to have read this book by the 25th August (though please post your comments before then if you’ve read it sooner!) and post here, in the comments section what you think of it.
