On Monday 19th August, my Goodreads page 'Fandom Freak-Out'(which you can join by clicking here) is holding a read-a-long until Thursday 29th August . A Fandom Freak-Out was a group a set up where you can openly discuss the latest book fandoms including: 'The Hunger Games', 'Divergent', 'The Fault in Our Stars', 'The Mortal Instruments' and soon to be updated with 'Vampire Academy' news.
Our first read-a-long is going to be 'Shipwrecked' by Siobhan Curham as it is the first book in a brand-new Saga which is on it's way to the small-screen. Shipwrecked was written as a novel, and as screenplay by Siobhan at the same time: alternating between the two. Here is the synopsis:
"I jump at the sound of a whispered voice over my shoulder.
But when I turn round all I see is sand, and the towering, green wall of the rainforest. I guess it must have been the breeze, but I can't help shivering. I have the weirdest feeling that we're being watched."
Grace Delaney and her fellow dance students are en route to perform on a South Pacific cruise-ship when a freak storm hits and they find themselves stranded on a deserted island. With the tropical heat rising, passions and tensions swell to breaking point. And the island itself is quietly steaming with a terrible secret.
What I'm looking forward to: Siobhan Curham's writing! It's always so refreshing and packed full of humour. Although, this is really different compared to her previous books, ' Dear Dylan and 'Finding Cherokee Brown' so, in that sense, I'm excited to see where Siobhan takes this story and the imaginative side of things.
Also, we have a gorgeous banner designed by Ruby, which I love! It completely reflects the book's atmosphere!
