I chose Diary Of A Chav because it was one of the funniest and most

interesting books I have ever read.

I wanted to read this book because the main character sounds very much like my friend. It was also a book not many people had read, which to me, made it even more appealing.

Trainers vs Tiaras is a funny story about a year in the life of Shiraz Bailey Wood who is a CHAV (Charming, Hilarious, Articulate and Vibrant), into hoodies and hip-hop. It's the year when her sister Cava-Sue fights with her Mum, her best friend falls in love and she has to decide what she wants to do in the future.

My favourite character is Cava-Sue, Shiraz’s sister. She is my favourite character because she is not afraid to stand up to every one and do what she likes. This is what I want to be like when I am older. She is independent and likes to be different. Although, all my friends say that I am like this already.

There are 3 books in this series. Trainers vs Tiaras, Slinging The Bling and Too Cool For School. I have read the first two and am currently reading the last one. They are all in shops now.

Grace Dent has been a magazine and newspaper journalist/columnist since 1996, working on titles such as The Mirror, Glamour and Marie Claire. Her television column 'World of Lather' has appeared in the Guardian Guide since 2001, and her passion for television past, present and future means she often appears on TV and radio as a reviewer and commentator.

I am currently reading a series called The Mediator which has 6 books all in all by Meg Cabot. I am waiting for Princess Diaries 10 and Maximum Ride 4 to come out next year. Also, I want to try and read a lot more books that people have never heard of so I can do some Book Reviews.
