December Book Haul

         

My first purchase was of Carrie by Stephen King, after 

watching Sanne's (Booksandquills) review of the novel I felt 

compelled to read it myself. I should add that i am in no way a 

common reader of the horror genre and I expect that this may

be my portal into that world.

Next came N-W by Zadie Smith, after hearing a lot about

this book online, I eventually submitted to the temptations and

bought it. I was particularly attracted my the brightly 

coloured cover and interesting designs.

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare was given to me by 

a friend, I have previously read the first book in the

Mortal Instruments series and enjoyed it heavily-

this book was much the same.

Admittedly, I may have bought this book due to peer

pressure from my mother but nonetheless I have heard

excellent things about The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

and am keen to read it before the movie adaptation's

release on the 31st of January.

Wool by Hugh Howly.

Possibly the best of them all. A Doctor Who Encyclopedia!

You can probably imagine the high pitched squeals of 

delight that I made when on Christmas day I tore off

festive wrapping paper to reveal this magnifican beast!
