New in: books.

It's no secret that I have a thing for books. And there's this little book store in Bristol on Park Street where they sell books for only £2 each! I found it last time I was there and of course I went a bit nuts in there both back then and this time. 

I just love walking around in a book store to look at all the books, or stand with one in my hand, reading on the back and a few pages inside, so I know whether or not it's good. 

To catch my interest, a book has to have a catchy title, something that gets my attention. It also has to have a cover that looks exciting and at the same time tells a bit about what the book's about, in some way (but that's not necessary). And it has to have good reviews on the back, if it doesn't, I won't open it up to look inside and I'll just move on to the next book that catches my interest. Finally it has to be written in a good way from beginning to end - that's why I like to read a bit on the first page(s), a bit of the middle and one of the last pages (but never the last!) of the book.

This time I brought four books home with me. Three of them just because they looked and sounded interesting to me, and the fourth because I had heard so much about the author and his books that I just HAD to buy it. 

I'll write reviews of the books that I find interesting enough to review.

John Green - The Fault In Our Stars.

Rachel Hore - The Glass Painter's Daughter.

Tom Rob Smith - Child 44.

Roberta Rich - The Midwife Of Venice.
