Whenever a
Youtuber does something nowadays, the universe decides to explode. Somethings I
really don’t agree with but I have to admit that the explosion of social media
the other day was something that I looked up to.
Zoe Sugg,
or Zoella as most people will know her, is one of the major Youtubers out
there. She lives with her boyfriend, Alfie Deyes, and is one of the most
watched people of Youtube. She is idolised by so many young girls and that
could be a bad thing if she shared some aspects of her life; she could negatively
influence others. But that was not the case this time. She was worked together
with WHSmith in order to create a bookclub that at the moment houses eight
relatively large Young Ault Novels.
I praise
you for this, Zoe, for you are going to get a lot of young people reading
instead of swaying them towards other parts of society like drinking. Now I’m
not suggesting that that is what Zoella is doing. No, I’m actually saying that
the she is ensuring that the easily moulded minds are not influenced
negatively.
There are
eight books in this book club at the moment and each one has a newly designed
cover that is exclusive to WHSmith. The books are as follows:
- Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell,
- All The Bright Places, by Jennifer Niven
- We Were Liars, by e Lockhart
- Beautiful Broken Things, by Sara Barnard
- The Potion Diaries, by Amy Alward
- Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon
- The Sky is Everywhere, by Jandy Nelson
- Billy and Me, by Giovanna Fletcher
All of
these books are contemporary reads that can be slightly more relatable to the
Young Adult audience since they talk about loss or finding love. An amazing
selection, I must say, that will most likely grasp the reader’s attention. Yes,
I haven’t read the whole collection but I know people who have and they all
agree that they are perfect for such a young, and manipulative, audience.
I must say
that I am proud of you, Zoe. More teenagers need to get into reading to learn
more about the world and different situations that life can put you into. I
know that I will be promoting this further so that more people can get into
reading. It really will change your life for the better.
