Since starting the paperback summer challenge in June, I have deviated somewhat
from my original
list, as I suspected I would! I have added 6 to that original list of 21
books! It's no wonder I'm going to struggle with completing the list by the end
of August! As well as the above, I have also read the 3 e-books below -
My absolute
favourite book that I have read so far this summer is To Kill a Mockingbird (my
review of which is here) but I also really enjoyed the following. Randomly all
of which are science fiction/fantasy!:-
Deviants
by Maureen McGgowan - the writing was only ok but the plot and
characters were very strong and I was thoroughly involved in the story. I can't
wait to start the next book in the series.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss - I was asked
to read this for my friend's bookclub and
I was excited as it has been on my to-read list for years! It is a large book
(661 pages) so I was a bit intimidated but couldn't put it down until I had
finished. Now I need to find the time to read the rest in the series!
Station Eleven by Emily St.John Mandel - you can find
my review of this lovely book here
My to-read shelf now
looks like this -
I have a feeling
that this shelf will take me onto the end of September. I'll be lucky if I
finish 3 or 4 of them by the end of August but at least I have made a good
effort to reduce my to-read shelf! It's just a shame that I keep adding to it
by buying more!
I am most looking
forward to reading All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and The Lives of Girls and Women by Alice Munro, mainly to see
if they live up to the hype.
I always love reading Dorothy Koomson, she is one
of my favourites, and an author whose books I never miss. I have been wanting
to read Joanne Trollope’s version of Sense and Sensibility ever since it as
first published and I’m currently hunting for Val McDermid’s version of
Northanger Abbey.
