Whilst I enjoy reading all sorts of books, I love to read the autobiographies of people who inspire me! One of my favourite memoirs is 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama. Her passion for equality in education, particularly for women, and her desire to better the futures of young people made me want to read her story! The book details her setbacks and successes on her journey to becoming the first African American First Lady.

I've found it impossible to narrow down my favourite book to just one! When I was growing up I absolutely loved the Famous Five; I wanted to join the children (and dog) on all of their adventures! I think Harry Potter is great (I like the third one best) and I'd love to visit Hogwarts one day. Michael Morpurgo has written some incredible stories, Kensuke's Kingdom is probably my favourite. Of course all of Roald Dahl's books are brilliant, I think George's Marvellous Medicine and The Magic Finger are the ones I most enjoy. I've always wanted to make a giant potion like George does in the story and see what would happen if I gave it to someone to drink!

I am a romantic soul and enjoy the old fashioned love stories of a time gone by. This is why Jane Austen is my favourite author. EMMA is such a classic, there is something charming about this story including Mr Knightley. Making time to get lost in a book is so relaxing and thrilling. I recently read Me Before You by author Jojo Moyes after watching the film. Reading each page just made me linger on every word and capture every moment. A story about love, learning and letting go.

Hi, my favourite book of all time has to be The Magic Faraway Tree, every time I read it I felt like I was up in the land at the top of the tree having an adventure with the children, but I think my favourite character was saucepan man.
