You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

So I have bought a couple of brand new books for the first time in ages. Actually I haven't bought any books recently, apart from a couple for 20p at a car boot sale. So today I thought I'd treat myself to a couple I have been wanting for ages. The Help and One Day. The Help was read by this group a while ago but I couldn't join in. Everyone said such great things that I've been meaning to read it for ages. Has any one read One Day? A friend recommended it to me.

I haven't read The Help yet, but just bought it. Also a Vince Flynn book, Transfer of Power. I'm counting on both of them to be good entertainment.

I bought The Help on audiobook but haven't started it yet. (And missed the group read but agree that everyone seemed to say good things about it)

I bought In the Shadow of Gotham and Wife of the Gods: A Novel for my in person book group and to get free shipping for my order I bought A Nail Through the Heart, Tumbleweed and All She Was Worth, Not too bad 5 books for $26.

I've recently moved (started University) and the local charity shops here are amazing! I've bought The Road, Cutting For Stone, The Handmaids Tale, Dr Zhivago and On Beauty recently. I don't know how many students can say they actually have to budget themselves when buying books haha!

I just bought Charming Billy, The Saving Graces and City of Bones.
Im looking forward to reading those 3 books.

If you haven't read "To Kill A Mockingbird" before, you are in for a good read. It covers so many themes that are still relevant to people today. I will treasure my copy forever!!

I've just bought Room by Emma Donoghue, and Scout, Atticus, and Boo: A Celebration of Fifty Years of To Kill a Mockingbird. Both of them are very good so far!

I just bought El violin del Diablo / The Devil's Violinit seems really cool since i love violins and crime stories, but haven't started yet

I just bought 3 new books:
The beach hut by veronica henry
I heart Paris by Linsey kelk
Pictures of lilly by paige toon

Collins Classics - Wuthering Heights

The Trial
Ulysses
The Grapes of Wrath
1984

I just bought

Freedom
The Imperfectionists

Becky, I so want to read the Imperfectionists. I have had trouble getting it from Book Depository. The delivery date kept being moved forward until I got disgusted and cancelled it. Now I am sorry I cancelled it. Typical!!! Please let me know what you think of this one. It sounds so intriguing and there was a great NYT review!

Garden Spells is a great read! Hope you enjoy it!

I have heard so much about it!! It sounds like a sweet story, and the author has several other items out that sound just as good. Not sure when I'll get to read it since I have SO much on my TBR list, but I'll get to it eventually. I have to get through my stack of library books first ;)

Leaving out my manga, I bought these yesterday: The Calligrapher's Daughter, Possible Side Effects, & Numb.

When Rabbit Howls is a very difficult read. Excellent book but very difficult. I loved A Walk in The Woods.

I just picked up Neverwhere, Number the Stars, War and Peace, and The House at Riverton.

I just got Getting Personal, The House on Tradd Street, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, and A Reliable Wife from the library's used book shelf. There were several others that will probably follow me home on my next trip.

I like to buy books at the second hand stores. I recently bought Chin Up, Honeyby Curtiss Ann Matlock, Resistance, by Anita Shreve, A Northern Lightby Jennifer Donnelly and Dead Lie Downby Sophie Hannah and Riding Lessonsby Sara Gruen. I have plenty of reading material for a few months!

Jane and the Wandering Eye


These are all part of a series, and are part of the "Being a Jane Austen Mystery Reading Challenge 2011" featured on the blog at Austenprose.com . Never read this series before, but I've heard a lot of good things about it

Got a B&N gift card in the mail a couple of days ago and went to the website & ordered:

The Winter Sea

Then was in the store today and bought 3 more that I had on my list:

Mr. Darcy's Secret
