WHSmith Zoella & Friends Book Club: Review (Books 1-4)


I have been loving the Zoella Book Club with WHSmith since it started last year. 

 I was actively involved with the first round of the book club last summer and then WHSmith kindly sent me the entire book bundle for round two in October. Round one had us discussing each book in turn, via WHSmith's Twitter account, and round two gave me the chance to interview the authors, also via Twitter.

 You can see my various blog posts and videos for the first two rounds of the book club here:

WHSmith are celebrating their 225th anniversary and to kick things off this year they asked people to share their favourite books. Read the WHSmith blog post here.

 I got involved and got people talking about their favourites. So, let's get on to the answers I got to the following two questions, as asked by WHSmith:
  • What is your favourite fiction book written in the last 225 years?
  • What is your favourite children's book written in the last 225 years?



 Here are the responses for favourite fiction book:

WHSmith Zoella Book Club: Author Interviews (Books 5-8)


It's time for my final post about the WHSmith Zoella Book Club as round two comes to an end. I've loved being a part of this, reading some incredible books and getting to talk to all of the authors about their writing. It's just brilliant.

 The first four online interviews that I did with Meredith Russo, Alex Bell, Gayle Forman and David Levithan and Rachel Cohn can be found here and the unboxing of the books and other goodies that were very kindly sent to me by WHSmith can be found here. You can also see my video review for all eight books on my YouTube channel.

 Let's get to the interviews:

WHSmith Zoella Book Club: Author Interviews (Books 1-4)


As many of you reading this will probably already know, I took part in the first WHSmith Zoella Book Club during the summer and fell in love with it. I've always been a big reader but I enjoyed this book club so, so much. Zoe Sugg chose eight books that she loved and shared them with us. I joined in with their Twitter events, bought and read every book and wrote blog posts about them. So, imagine my excitement when Zoe announced that should would be doing another round of the book club through autumn/winter, into February 2017.

 I was very kindly sent the whole new collection of eight books and I did an unboxing post in October (here). I noted in that blog post that I was going to keep the layout of my posts the same as last time, talking about the first four books at the halfway point and then talking about the other four books at the end. However, this time I got the amazing opportunity to ask the authors questions about their books, so rather than me talking about the books and reviewing them with my own thoughts, I'm going to post interview-style, with the questions I asked the authors and their responses. Then, at the end of the whole book club, I will review all eight books and rank them just like I did before.

 So, let's get into the interviews:

Unboxing: WHSmith Zoella Book Club


Hooray, Zoella has done another round of the book club with WHSmith! I absolutely adored the last book club and enjoyed reading all eight books on offer, so when she announced in a vlog that she was doing it again I was desperate to find out which books were included.

 Zoella released the official video on Wednesday 19th October (see below) and the books were released online and in store the following day.

I sat down to watch the video as soon as it went live.

I had the lovely surprise of receiving the whole eight-book collection in the post on the Friday.

WHSmith Zoella Book Club: Review (Books 5-8)


I have loved taking part in the Zoella Book Club with WHSmith. I posted about it back in June here and the first part of my book club review (for books 1-4) can be found here. I've loved sharing opinions and thoughts on these books with others on WHSmith's Twitter. The book club nights have all been brilliant and I'm sad that it's all over, but it's been great!

Here are the last four books of the Zoella Book Club:
So let's get on with the reviews and Twitter chat! Before continuing please be aware that there are some spoilers ahead.

WHSmith Zoella Book Club: Review (Books 1-4)


I have been loving the Zoella Book Club with WHSmith. I posted about it back in June here, and now we are at the halfway mark. I decided when I started this book club that I would review all of the books and give you my views on them all, as well as sharing my input to the book club nights on WHSmith's Twitter. The book club nights on Twitter were brilliant, although I was gutted to miss the third one, discussing We Were Liars, as I had to be at work late.


I read the first four books in the order of the book club:
