I love books. I would buy a new book every day if I could. I love the way a new book smell, feels and looks. I love spending hours mulling over which new book to buy, or reading book reviews and instantly needing to go out and buy that book. I have so many books that I'm yet to read, but I still have the urge to buy new ones. I would say I'm ashamed, but really I'm not. I love how buying a new book makes me feel. I guess you could call me a book-a-holic, rather than a shopaholic. So I thought I make this quick post to show you my newest book purchases.
Something Borrowed - Emily Griffin I read the blurb and knew I wanted to read this. I was intrigued. Plus the cover enticed me. Being a bride n all.
Life & Laughing - Michael McIntyre I wanted this book for Christmas, but the only available copies were hardback, and I just could justify the £10 price tag. The last trip to Asda I said to Mike, 'If the first page makes me laugh, I'll buy it.' Obviously it did, but better than that... the first page.
Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro I've heard such good things about both the book and the movie, but as always I wanted to read the book before I saw it on film.
The Immortal Life of Hentietta Lacks - This is part of WithLoveFromGem's book club, and I decided I wanted to read it. I may not be able to read it in time for the book club, but it seemed like a good choice for a new book.
Speak Soon,
Katie

Yay - love book posts! :D
ReplyDeleteI adored Never Let Me Go and I was the same as you, needing to read it before the film! Unfortunately the film really disappointed me as it just didnt live up to the book. I felt as though they changed the characters and skipped a lot of the emotional parts. :( When you've read the book and watched the film, you'll have to let me know what you thought. x x
I love books!

Homeschooling is pretty great although it has it's down sides! Planning on going into mainstream school for the first time since I was five in September though!

Out of those four books i've only read Never Let Me Go. I saw the advert for the film and immediately wanted to read the book. I haven't seen the film yet but i doubt it's as good as the book. The book was absolutely amazing, i loved the style it was written and felt that i could really relate to the characters. One of the BEST books i've ever read! :) x
ReplyDeletei love books too! i'm a bit of a bookworm:) i just brought the carrie diaries summer and the city by candice bushnell. i think i will probably have finished by tomorrow. Something borrowed is one of my favourite books, I've re-read it probably 6 times in as many years. I can't wait to go see the movie and see if it stacks up to the book. happy reading!:)
