Hello!
It's not secret that I am pretty much obsessed with books! I decided to sort through my collection and was quite shocked to discover how many books I have bought but have yet to read. It's near impossible for me to go into any bookshop without buying a book (or five), and with so many cute little bookshops selling second hand books for next to nothing, how can I possibly resist?
So here's a list of the books I have yet to read:
So here's a list of the books I have yet to read:
- Lost Angel by Kitty Neale - This caught my eye at a little market stall in my town that sells second hand books really cheap, I think I paid about £1 for this! It sounds like a real tragedy and I love a book that can make me cry, so hopefully I'll get round to reading this one soon.
- All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven - This is my most recent purchase, I bought it yesterday from Waterstones for £7.99. It's about two teenagers, a boy and a girl, who are both at really low points in their lives, but are able to help each other and eventually fall in love. It sounds like it could be quite a sad book, but I'm hoping it will have a happy ending. I'll probably review this one when I finish it, so keep an eye out for that!
- Now is the Hour by Hilary Green - I think this was a second hand purchase, but I can't actually remember when I bought it. On the front it has a quote: "war tore them apart, friendship help them together" which is probably why I picked it up. I love romance novels based in war time, or just any kind of war novel, I don't know why but the war just fascinates me.
- Solo by Jill Mansell - My mum lent my this book as she knows that Jill Mansell is one of my absolute favourite authors. I'm a sucker for a good romance and she manages to hit the nail on the head every single time. If you're looking for a romance novel to sink your teeth into, definitely go for a Jill Mansell book!
- The Hardest Part of Love by Catherine Ryan Hyde - Yet another second hand buy! I think the main reason I decided to buy this book is because it's written from a male perspective and it's not often I read anything from a man's point of view. I'm not sure why this is the case, I guess I just tend to read romance novels and they're usually written from a female point of view? I don't know. But this sounds really interesting.
- The Wish List by Jane Costello - I picked this one up in Waterstones a while ago, I think it will probably be the next book I read. It just sounds like a really light-hearted, funny, easy read and on the front it says "if you love Sophie Kinsella, you'll love Jane Costello" so hopefully I will really enjoy this as I am a big fan of Sophie Kinsella.
- No! I Don't Want to Join a Bookclub by Virginia Ironside - This is written as the diary of a grumpy old lady who doesn't want to get old. It sounds hilarious, I'm really excited to read it.
- Never Say Goodbye by Susan Lewis - I'm not really sure when I got this or where I got it from, but it does look like the type of book I would usually be drawn to. From reading the blurb, I gather that it's a tragic love story about the strength of friendship through hard times, apparently it's a real tear-jerker.
- Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield - This sounds like quite an interesting book, not the type of thing I would usually go for. It sounds quite mysterious and has the potential to be quite dark I think. I'm looking forward to reading it.
So that's all of the books that I have yet to read. I would say I will refrain from buying anymore until I get through this lot, but that would probably be a lie. I might do a couple of reviews, let me know in the comments if there's any of these books in particular that you would like a review of! I'll probably do another list in a couple of months because my book list is ever-growing, so I'm sure I'll have a lot more waiting to be read!
What are you reading at the moment?
Much love
Megan

I'm intrigued by The Hardest Part of Love by Catherine Ryan Hyde. I'd be interested to see you review it. It might convince me to read it myself. :D x
ReplyDeleteI shall start reading that as soon as I finish Travelling to Infinity :) If you like the sound of it when I review it you are very welcome to borrow it! x
