Books I Bought...


...Episode 1...

 As always, I was on the lookout for books on offer on m kindle (whether I own them in print or not they are handy to carry around on my kindle – not as heavy!) and I found these:-

 Firstly was Ten Thousand Saints by Eleanor Henderson. This isn’t something I would normally even consider looking at let alone buying but it was brought to my attention by Asa Butterfield on his Twitter page (@asabfb) as he is going to be starring in the movie as Jude, the protagonist in this novel. I am a big fan of Asa’s so I thought if it’s good enough for him I should give it a go. Broaden my horizons. Reading the blurb it sounds really interesting, you should go and check it out.

Secondly is Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick. Marcus is one of my favourite authors and I do actually own this book in print but I can see me reading this again and again. His back-catalogue is definitely worth a read!

Thirdly is the eBook version of episode 1 of the BBC TV adaption of P.G. Wodehouse’s Blandings, Pig-Hoo-o-o-o-ey! I really enjoyed the series (the hilarious quips from Freddie –played be Jack Farthing – really make it for me!) so I hope that the books lives up to my expectations.

Next is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern which I bought in print. This was a recommendation in a video by Carrie Hope Fletcher and I thought it sounded brilliant, so we shall see (the cover’s also quite cool too!)

Lastly is Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. This is the second book in the Ender Saga and after recently finishing book 1 – Ender’s Game – I am looking forward to reading the second instalment as the first was amazing. So much so that I am considering starting it straight away!!

I am really looking forward to reading these books and I hope I have brought some books to your attention that you may not normally have picked up :D
