Book Haul!

Salut!!

As I mentioned previously, I have a skill in procrastination, which usually reveals itself during assessment time. A week or so ago, I spent a good afternoon browsing Amazon for all the books I want to read, and I ended up buying a few, so I thought I'd just share them! I also have a couple of books on my 'to-read' list that I've had for a while, and one was a gift from a friend.

1. The Book of Tomorrow - Cecelia Ahern

This was a gift from a friend, that I have just never got around to reading, but I'm always desperate to have time to start it. Having read P.S. I Love You and The Gift by Cecelia Ahern, I really enjoy her books and I can't wait to get my teeth sunk into this!

2. 1000 Years of Annoying the French - Stephen Clarke

Being a French student, I have read a couple of extracts of Stephen Clarke's work, and I found them highly amusing. From what I've read about this book, it seems to be all about the love-hate relationship between the French and the British. 

3. The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

This book is everywhere!! All of my friends seem to have read this and I want to be in on it, so I will be taking a huge leap onto the bandwagon to see what all the fuss is about.

4. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

This is a CLASSIC!! I read this book in school as part of my GCSE English course, and I loved it. I need to read it again because it is absolutely brilliant, but I have not owned a copy of the book until now. 

5. How I Live Now - Meg Rosoff

This has recently been released as a film. I haven't watched the film yet, as I was completely frustrated that I recognised the title from a few years ago. I can't remember whether I read the book, or never got round to reading it/ ordering it, but I couldn't bring myself to watching the film without reading a book that I had known about for so long. I'm sure I'll watch the film once I've had a good read of the book.

6. The Reader - Bernhard Schlink

This was released as a film a few years ago but I never even realised it was based on a book! I'm really looking forward to giving this a read too, but if it is anything like the film, it will be quite hard going in parts!

 

I hope I can get all of my uni work out of the way ASAP so I can get reading!

See you soon
