January: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Image
Hello! This is actually the books I've read in December but I'm being cheeky and uploading it in January hehe. Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas/New Year and that 2016 brings you all the best. Read The book I have read is Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I've spoken about this in my book haul and well it is quite a good book. Picoult's writing is so intricate that it continues with such a rhythmic flow that it's impossible to not enjoy her writing. This book is about Delia, who lives a charmed life. She lives with her daughter, her father and is soon to be married to her fiance, Eric and alongside them, their best friend, Fitz. Soon she learns that the life she holds dear, is not the whole truth. Her father gets arrested for kidnapping Delia from her mother when she was younger. Delia comes to learn that she's not really Delia but is actually Bethany who's mother didn't die when she was four. This is not the typical book that I would us...

Now that my exams are over, I've been doing a catchup on all the reading I should've done over the year. I got a job solely so I can buy more books. Which I have obviously been doing. Firstly I would like to point out that you don't have to always buy books at an expensive price. A lot of these books I've bought from second hand stores.

So if you really want new books for a cheaper price then the book depository is the way to go. I bought all these over a range of different places, some second hand some new. But it doesn't  matter they're all books after all. Unlucky Break - Kate Forster  I've read this book before last summer but I picked up a copy from Good Sammy's because I loved it so much I wanted a copy. It's about a girl who's mother passes away so she moves in with her a...

October: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Despite the fact that I have got so much studying to be doing and whatnot, I somehow managed to read books and will probably read more books. Do not follow my example. It's been a month of very lightweight reading because of my exams. My head can barely handle the capacity of the Russian Revolution. Read: The book that I have read this month is a book I picked up at the library one day when I was studying there. I just wanted to read it because I was going crazy trying to study. I read Katie Lender's, Marie Antoinette Serial Killer . It's a very different type of book then I'd usually read. It's a horror, mystery, contemporary type novel. It focuses on Colette Iselin's high school trip to Paris, France. Every girl's dream right? Unfortunately for Colette, her dream trip is haunted by the ghost of Marie Antoinette who seems to be responsible for the murders happening around Paris. Whilst the primary focus is the mystery, there's also focuses on r...
