Books that you need to read this very second.

I am a massive bookaholic. If I'm not blogging on reading or texting my friends when I should really be doing my homework I'm reading. To me, there is nothing better than getting lost in a world with a good book. I've read heaps of good books in my life, and bad ones as well. But let's face it. What's the joy in reading a bad book when there are so many good books out there? Here's my top three list of books you need to read.

1. The Flywheel By Erin Gough.
This is honestly one of the cutest books I've ever read. I like that whilst it does deal with heavy topics, such as LGBT, it doesn't detract from having the sweetest, adorable-st romance ever. I adore Del, I am IN LOVE with Charlie, and Rosa is awesome. Also, can we talk about how awesome that cover is? It might just be me, but I swear that is the cutest cover EVER.

2. Green Valentine by Lili Wilkinson.
Not only does this contain one of the cutest love stories ever (not even just the romance, also the backstory and what Astrid and Hiro did as a couple - you'll have to read to find out!) but it has an AWESOME cover. Am I the only person who kinda judges books by their covers? *crosses fingers no* 

3. Laurinda by Alice Pung.

Unlike the other two books, there isn't even a hint of romance in this book (well, there kind of is, but I don't really think so). Instead, it tackles major topics such as racism, identity and trying to fit in in a world that makes you stand out. Lucy is an awesome, powerful character and it doesn't end with her. Each character is well fleshed out and are so multi dimensional you won't even know what a one dimensional character is by the end of this. A brilliant, brilliant read which I highly recommend.

So there you have it! Three books that will now *hopefully* be at the top of your TBR piles. What are three books that you would recommend? Leave them in the comments below!

I definitely plan to try Flywheel! I think I have that one on reserve. :P I trust you, so definitely bumping these up the TBR! :D
