Finishing a book

I FINISHED MY BOOK!!!

I hate it when that happens. It is worse if the book has a bad ending...
I was telling you that I was reading a book called the Botecelli Secret. Well, I finished it and although it had a good ending I still feel annoyed that it has ended.

There were many twists and turns, with exciting historical characters seen by the main character such as a glimpse of Leonardo de Vinci and a befriending of Christopher Columbus. The mystery of the book unravels towards the end and everything is drawn nicely together, although not in an improbabal way!

I really enjoyed this book but now have nothing to read...

Reading...

I LOVE READING!

I have been reading since I was really little and my favourite book was one about the Wombles. There was a tape that read it to you and I liked it so much that at the age of 2 I memorised the whole book!

Now I prefer murder mystery or adventure books. Some of my favourite authors include Marina Fiorato, Joanne Harris, Malorie Blackman and Eva Ibotson (her books aimed at teens).

Currently I am reading the Botticelli Secret. It is a book about a young girl who is a model for a painting by Botticelli, the famous artist of Renaissance Italy. She steals a miniature of the painting and suffers the consequences. Befriending an aristocratic monk, Brother Guido, she flees across Italy trying to uncover the secret of the painting before it is too late...

I am really enjoying this book as it has a really good use of mystery and is written so it really feels like you are in Renaissance Italy. I would definitely recommend it to my friends, though perhaps not to younger readers!

I read before I go to bed and often have trouble stopping! I often get lost in a good book...
