I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.

I’m Marta from Malaga, Spain. My favourite character is Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games saga. She’s so determinated and she loves her family so much that she gains that strenght she thought she’ll never have.
I’m looking forward to reading Billy and Me because I heard so many good things about it.
I’m Tierney, and I’m from Hertfordshire! My favourite character is Harry from Harry Potter. WHY? Because he’s so damn cool and he survives! Yay!!
My name is Audrey, and I’m from the USA! I would have to say my fav character from a book is Jonathan from the Straight Road to Kylie because he is so sassy and dedicated to his favorite band, just like me. Love you McFly!
I’m Kelsey from Minnesota. My favorite book character is Emma from the book of the same name by Jane Austen. I really enjoyed reading about her because she cares deeply for her loved ones, but she is also flawed just like the rest of us!
I’m Amanda and I’m from Manaus, Brazil
My favorite book character is Gideon Cross from the books Bared to You, Reflected in You and Entwinned With You, because I think it’s fascinating how a person can lose her mind, when the jealousy and the feeling that a person it’s yours makes you go crazy, and you make everything to be with her, even when exist so many barriers, you just know that she is the one, and she is yours. I love to read how Gideon confirms all the time how powerfull he is and how he doesn’t care to show that he owns Eva, how he only wants to have her by his side, how he needs her love, how he can’t see her with another man, besides him. You can feel the protection and the love that he passes for her, even when he exaggerates.
Hi,
I’m Kirsty from Leven, Scotland. The very first book I read and that got me addicted to books is Harry Potter, and it’s one of the books I always go back to reading. I love all the characters and love how I get so absorbed into the story even after 12 years! I don’t have one specific character from it, and I don’t have a long reason to loving them, just the plain and simple one, it makes me feel happy and absorbs me into it completely.
Hi, my name is Daniele Brooman and I’m from Coventry, UK.
It is really hard to decide one single character to talk about. I admire the power of girls such as Hermione, Gina (Harry Potter), Katniss (Hunger Games) and Melani (The host). Girls who can still fight and fight harder even though their heart are broken in so many ways and their world and believes are about to vanish (not because of a guy, but because of something much bigger than a teenage love). But of course I’m still a girl and can’t help but fall in love with Patch (Hush, Hush) and Jace (Mortal Instruments) and how they don’t seem to understand how good they are.
I’m Chloe from Croydon, my favorite fictional character, at the moment, is Gen from Close My Eyes (By Sophie Mckenzie,amazing book!!!) because she is so motivated and she doesn’t let people get in her way!
I’m kelly from bideford in devon, my favourite character is harry potter. He does nothing but care and fight for the people he loves! And I personally think there is nothing better than that, I also love billy and me such a fantastic book!!
Hello, I’m Hannah from Wigan. My favourite character is Alaska Young from Looking For Alaska by John Green because she is proof that even though someone may appear independent and strong from the outside, everyone has feelings that they can try to hide inside of them, but eventually will come out.
My name is Julie
My favourite character is Oscar from the book extremely loud and incredibly close I love this book and marvel in its imagery as it brings together oscars story and how he learns to cope with his grief and the tragedy of l
Hello 🙂

Hello, I’m Beth, I live in lowestoft and my favourite book character would have to be either noah noah calhoun from the notebook by nicholas sparks or logan thibault from the lucky one by nicholas sparks!
My name is Laura and I’m from Perkasie, Pennsylvania. My favorite character is Hermione from Harry Potter. She is smart and independent. I like that she stands up for a cause she believes in! It’s hard to pick just one Harry Potter character to love!

My favourite book character is probably Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter series because I feel like he’s really under-appreciated and you just have to love Neville!
Hello! I’m Federica and I live in Milan, Italy!
My favourite character is Cordelia Kenn, from the book This Is All by Aidan Chambers.
I love her intelligence, her determination, her strenght and at the same time, her weaknesses. She’s independent but I like how she surrender to love and even how she manage to react when it comes to difficulties…

Hi! My name is Maryline, I’m from Belgium and my favourite character is probably Hermione Granger. It’s hard to name just one, but I always seem to go back to the Harry Potter series, no matter how many years have passed since I first read them. Hermione to me is very inspirational. She’s strong, independent, smart, but still fragile in a way. She’s loyal, brave and generous. She makes you smile, laugh out loud and even makes you cry. She gives me courage!
Hello, I’m from Debrecen (Hungary)
My favourite character is Jane Eyre. I love her because she is a very strong woman, and a great role model too. 🙂
Helloes! I’m Leunah, from Sheffield. My favourite book character is Loghain from David Gaider’s The Stolen Throne, because despite that his best friend Maric is a prince who the invading country would love to get their hands on (and kind of a giant, cheating douchebag), and the fact that Loghain is in love with his betrothed, Loghain still goes out of his way to keep Maric safe and restore him to his rightful place. That, and the fact that he kicks some serious darkspawn and dragon butt! 😀 <3
Hi im Catherine and im from Stafford 🙂

Hello mine charmaine from kings lynn in norfolk. My favourite character is noah from the notebook. He never gave up his love for allie even when she couldnt remember him. Its a proper love story from start to finishe. And it feels like you are there living the love story with them.
My favourite book character is Halley from Someone Like You. She would do everything for her best friend, and she teaches to people that life is boring and terrible without friends.
Barcs, Hungary
Hi!
My favourite character is Harry Potter, he was alway my childhood hero, and I still love him. 🙂 I love that he is a great role model for every children. 🙂
I’m from Barcs, Hungary.

Hey, my name’s Edith. I’m from Corrientes, Argentina. I really don’t know if I can win, because I’m not from UK, but I will comment it anyway 🙂
My favourite book character is Emma, from “One Day”. She is my favourite character, because she is like me! She felt in love with a beatiful man, who after a while became her best friend. So, she was in love with her best friend, Dexter. ( Just like me! :c ) And after a long time, they became a couple. So, she is my favourite character, because, she was strong, and at the end, she could be with his teen love, and all the pain happened, was worth .
Hi, my name is Dawn from Barrow-In-Furness my favourite character is peter pan because like him I want to go to neverland and never want to grow up
My name is Sandra Eliasson and I’m from Sölvesborg, Sweden.
At the moment, my favorite book character is actually Sophie May from Billy and Me. We are so much alike and got a lot of things in common (apart from the super famous boyfriend..) 🙂
Hi, I’m Ruth from Singapore! I love J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan; he can be a cocky and immature brat, but he’s so childishly charming you just can’t hate him. Besides, who can beat The Boy Who Never Grew Up?
My favourite book character is probably Sophie Klein from Pear Shaped. She’s just so easy to relate to, and loves food just like me!
My name is Mollie and I’m from Stoke 🙂 My favorite book character has got to be Katniss everdeen. She is a strong minded women who takes everything that is thrown in her direction and overcomes it all whilst helping others along the way.
My name is Michelle and I’m from a town called Klippan in Sweden. My favourite book character is Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling. Draco Malfoy is my favourite character since when we get to know him in the first book he seems really “cocky” and tough, but towards the end of the series I feel that he grows more and more vulnerable and he seems so small. He’s no longer the tough boy like he was in the beginning, but very helpless. That’s the feeling I get when I read the books. It proves that even if you feel really big, cocky and cool it’s not always easy to remain that way, especially not when greater powers begin to take over, and it feels as if he began to fear what would happen.
Hi:) I’m Ellie from Manchester.
It’s so hard to choose just one character because I read so much but I’ve always loved Georgia Nicholson from Louise Rennison’s ‘Confessions of Georgia Nicholson’ series. I think it’s probably because I can relate to her in a lot of ways, the movie based on the first two books is really great too! xx
Elaine from Stroud sort of 😉 – it’s complicated!
Favourite book charcater is Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments. He’s so snarky, terribly brave with a little bit of misunderstood thrown in for good measure….and he’s hot which never hurts! 😉
Jess Harper, Ipswich
personally, Billy is my favourite! He is so sweet and caring, and even though his life if busy he always tries and makes like for Sophie. he kept her involved and when things went wrong he never gave up trying to fix it and to get her back. Also, he didn’t care about what everyone else thought and said, he kept by Sophie and stuck up for her because he cared so much! Billy is just so perfect!!:)x
Hi!
I’m Lilia from Sofia, Bulgaria. My all time favourite character is Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. I like her because I can relate to many of the things that happen to her in the books by L.M. Montgomery, like how she was bullied, and how she didn’t stay true to her feelings because she didn’t want to ruin a beautiful friendship. 🙂
Hey 🙂 I’m Laura from Folkestone and my favourite book character is Eeyore because he’s just so cute and you can’t help but want to give him a big hug, which I did when I met him! x
Hi I’m Lisa from Leeds one of my fav characters from a book is Harry potter I love the books I could read and watch the films over and over! It shows how he becomes a wizard and how he gets on at hogwarts school for wizards. I like how J k Rowling kept the character going and bought out 7 books to do with him and it kept you wanting to read on each book she bought out! X
Harry Potter is my favorite book character. This is because of his perseverance and determination to protect those he cares for 🙂
Hi, I’m Dana from Houston, Texas. My favorite character is Lily from Paige Toon’s book “Pictures of Lily”. She’s true to her heart even with the obstacles she faces, and she’s beautifully written! 🙂
Hey!
I’m from Barcs, Hungary. My favourite character Holly from P.S. I Love You. I love her because she always loved his husband even if he died. And those letters are the most important things in her life. 🙂 (Sorry for my english)
I’m Beckie from York. My favourite character is Christopher from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. He faces many hurdles on a day to day basis but he still manages to put his fears to one side to investigate the murder of his next-door neighbours dog. I think we can learn a lot from him.
Im Aimee my town is kings lynn & my favourite character is Hazel Grace Lancaster from The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, shes such a real character that I could really relate to, she doesnt let anything stop her from doing what she wants despite the fact she has terminal cancer and thats inspiring.
Hi Aimee,
Well done on winning. I’ve sent you an e-mail requesting your address details. As soon as I’ve recieved that I can send you your prize.
Laura
I’m from nuneaton..
My fave book character is Holly from Ps.I Love You. You just feel for her & what it must be like to be so in love and lose that person, instead of him being totally gone from her life, he still lives on in his letters.. 🙂
Love the book & the films good too, though not many people would agree I guess.!!
I’m Sarah from Cwmbran & my favourite book character is Melanie from Stephanie Meyer’s: The Host. Melanie is willing to sacrifice everything in order to find Jamie and Jared, her 2 loves left in the now-taken-over-world. Her characteristics throughout the book are admirable and inspiring.
The bookmark from Izzys Attic is gorgeous and only amazing things can be heard about Giovanna’s Billy & Me.
My name’s Inu and I’m from Denmark. My favorite book character is without a doubt Dexter Mayhew from One Day by David Nicholls. The reason why he’s my favorite character is that his life doesn’t turn out the way he wanted it to be, lost a few people and got a bit of an alcohol problem. But in the end, he accepted things the way the are and hopefully got a happy ending with someone new after Emma passed away.
My favourite book character is ‘Nick Carraway’ from ‘The Great Gatsby’. This is because he represents innocence within the book as he is easily submerged with the lives of his moneyed new friends; and lead by ‘Gatsby’ and his cousin ‘Amy Buchanan’. Nonetheless, he represents hope and portrays ‘Gatsby’s’ true character after his death. A beautiful character.
I would love to read ‘Billy and Me’ and I am dying for the chance to get my hands on a copy of the book.
I’m Trish from Blackburn. My favourite book character is Isobel the fairy from It’s A Kind of Magic by Carole Matthews. She’s just adorable and lovable and there just aren’t enough grown up books about fairies!
The bookmark is gorgeous and I’m desperate to read Bilky And Me! Xx
I always use a bookmark and have different kinds. Hate seeing someone reading a book and then folding over the corner when they want to shut the book.
Favourite book character has to Vianne Rocher in the book – Chocolate by Joanne Harris. I would love to own a chocolate boutique (though I’d probably have little to sell as I would eat most of them myself) and really love to live in France too. Can’t see that happening to me but, you just never know what will happen my life, next…..
I’m Carrie and i’m from St. Ives, Cambridgeshire ish… My favourite character is Augustus Waters from my favourite book ever ‘The fault in our stars’ by John Green, Augustus is just so lovely to Grace and he helps her enjoy her life even though she has a life threatening illness! Izzy’s bookmarks are absolutely gorgeous and i’ve heard nothing but good feedback about ‘Billy and Me’ by Giovanna :)xx
