I'm bacccck!
So I've vanished this month...In this month I had a week in Amsterdam (lovely place!) and then I had my undergraduate graduation event (see pic...) and thennn my laptop blew up!
Currently writing this on the partners home office computer...it smells funny in this office and there is a lot of paperwork everywhere! He also doesn't use a mouse, and prefers a graphics tablet at pen...that makes it interesting trying to click, copy and paste!
On to the books!
So this is over two weeks:
Bought
Eve - Anna Carey
Speak - Laurie Halse Anderson
Della Says OMG - Keris Stainton (not pictured because its been lent to the sister in law!!)
I've heard a lot about Eve, and it really excited me at first but I tried to read little reviews and so far I'm really enjoying it! Della was polished off in around 2 hours with lots of giggling very loudly and getting weird looks off the in laws!
ReaditSwapit
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (and other stories) - F.Scott Fitzgerald
So I always thought that Benjamin Button was an epic novel to make a 3 hour epic film in which very little happened (I didn't enjoy it!) but I now find out it is only 20 pages long! Neeedless to say a little miffed with ReaditSwapit as the person declared it was only that story and I feel a little cheated out of a £40 text book! But Oh Well,...Free Book!
In the entire laptop saga, I have been attempting to write posts on my phone, to then edit them at work or using Mikes computer so hopefully that will work till I get a new computer next week!
Can't wait to see what everyone else got in their mailbox! And if anyone can advise any graduation novels please can you let me know? =D
Love Always!

I still have to get Eve! I've heard mixed opinions but it sounds fascinating!

I've been hearing mixed things about eve but I hope you enjoy. You are also going to kill me for this but I have the curious case of Benjamin button, you could have borrowed it... :/ I hope you enjoy your books, knew you would love Della! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to read Eve but I heard it is sad and disturbing. Most dystopians are but I'm just kind of at my limit on that after reading Glow and Wither. Hope you enjoy it! It has a gorgeous cover.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM! I just started my blog so it is my very first one!
