I did try and post this yesterday, but it was ‘invalid’. Naughty wordpress.
In the video blogging sphere, this might be called a ‘book haul’, but I’m not going to call it that because a) I don’t want to turn into one of those people who thinks everyone is interested in their every shopping trip and b) it can’t really be called a ‘haul’ because I only bought two books.
Don’t scream at me- I have a Kindle which I love and so to save packing space (and also because my parents pay for my e-books, mwahaha) I’m going to download plenty on there. However, there’s nothing quite like a proper book and it was buy one get one half price- what’s a girl to do?
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
This book has been critically acclaimed and also recommended to me by a friend with excellent taste in books, so it’s been on my to-read list for a while now. I’ve read the first chapter and I already love Mantel’s writing style, so I can’t wait to devour the rest!
Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend by Matthew Green
I hadn’t heard of this book previous to Saturday’s shopping trip but the cover caught my eye when I wandered into Waterstone’s. It’s told from the perspective of an imaginary friend, which immediately appealed to me; it’s a simple but brilliant touch of originality. I’ve read the first two chapters and it seems like a very easy to read book, so if I don’t read it before I go on holiday then I can enjoy it on a sun bed!
Have YOU been book shopping recently? What did you buy? Please let me know!
