World Book Day has always been so important to me, and I have so many memories of walking into a bookshop with my £1 book token when I was young, excitedly treating myself to a new book; usually from one of my favourite authors. As I grew into my teens, and my love for reading continued to grow, I realised there weren't any World Book Day books aimed at teens. As an avid teenage reader, this broke my heart - and that's why I'm so thrilled to be showcasing such an amazing video today, introducing 5 full-length YA novels for just £2.50! (Or £1.50 with a book token!)

When I was sent this video last week and asked if I'd like to help promote these books, I was so excited by it. Encouraging people to read, in particular young people, is one of the reasons I started my blog; and being able to do that with World Book Day is just incredible.

The World’s biggest celebration of reading for pleasure, World Book Day, returns this year on Thursday 1 March.
