I’ve decided to have a go at book spine poetry. I did it on a bit of a whim so both examples aren’t perfect, but I’m actually quite pleased with the result.
Under the Never Sky,
Blood Red Road,
Crewel,
Forgotton,
Wild,
Beautiful Disaster,
The Killing Woods.
The idea behind this one was an abandoned road with nothing living there: no animals, no people, nothing.
Silence
Forever
Before I Die
City of Bones
Hush, Hush.
I wasn’t so sure about this one but think the feel is right. It’s darker and more mysterious and leaves a bit more up to the imagination.
August has been a really good month for me. I’ve been off school for the month and have got lots of reading done. In one week, I even read eight books! Wow! I’m trying another format for this months wrap up post so I would love to hear your feedback.

..That’s nineteen books in total!
Next month I’m hoping to read:

Dead Jealous by Sharon Jones for the same as above.
Things happening in September:
The second UKYA chat is planned for Friday 13th September at 6:30 PM BST. I’d love to see you all there! Anyone can join in, you don’t have to be a blogger. Authors, bloggers and readers come along for a chat! I have a lot of fun things planned.
I’m busy planning the UKYA author blog tour in November and lots of other upcoming UKYA events. Very exciting!
