Well, I had a really busy weekend and didn't have time to post here for a few days - it was my housemate's 21st birthday, and my boyfriend was visiting for a few days. But you don't really want to hear about my weekend, do you. (In a nutshell: I ate lots of junk food and got pretty drunk. Standard party stuff, really...)
So instead, I thought I'd show you some of the exciting new additions to my TBR list.
From top to bottom:
The Seas - Samantha Hunt
Repeat it today with tears - Anne Peile
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Babel Tower - A.S Byatt
The best thing about these? I didn't have to buy any of them. I got The Seas from my boyfriend as part of my birthday present, my mum got me this copy of P&P (no, I don't know how I've got to 21 years of age without reading it yet), I was given Babel Tower by my aunt, who got it from someone who was getting rid of a load of their books, and I got Repeat it today with tears from the awesome people at Serpent's Tail, the publishers, after they ran a book giveaway on Twitter.
So there we go. Tomorrow I'll hopefully be able to get my hands on a copy of The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel, which will most likely be fast-tracked to the top of my list. At the minute though, I'm about 100 pages from the end of The Seas, which is pretty good except the narrator scares me a little...
Happy Monday, everyone!
Awesome. Books as gifts are the best. I'm looking forward to your reviews. I've only read P&P, so I'm especially looking forward to the other reviews- many titles I'm unfamiliar with.
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend The Seas (but then if you've read my review you'll already know that by now)!
ReplyDeleteAs for the others... I'll let you know when I get to them :)
