Graffiti moon

Finished this book over the school holidays. Well written, so compelling.

Here's a review... From The Book Gryffin:

Graffiti Moon- Cath Crowley does not disappoint. Her characters are flawless. The scenario is genius. The dialogue…oh the dialogue!!! I ADORED the dialogue between her characters. Witty, realistic and poetic.
Reading Graffiti Moon left me with a slightly surreal, almost voyeuristic feeling, in the sense that I felt as though as a reader I had literally been drawn into the book. I honestly felt as though I was ’shadowing’ these characters throughout the entire story.
Graffiti Moon is a fantastic read for girls, Lucy is a strong and determined protagonist, her independence and thoughtfulness, her speculations on life make her very endearing. The enormous upside to this novel though is that Ed and Leo are perfectly formed and believable characters for boys to relate to and engage with. I never wanted this imagined night to end. And yet the ending was perfect.
I highly recomend this wonderful novel to ages 15+.

Rediscovering my old "new best friend"

After spending the past nine years reading titles ranging from "What to expect when your expecting" to "The Reading Bug : and how you can teach your child to catch it", I'm finally making time to read for myself.  A fabo chrissy present (a Kobo) from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law has seen me rediscovering the classics and I have now ditched the ironing in favour of half an hour (or more) with my nose firmly planted in a book.  And just quietly, I'm lovin' it!
