Donna Tartt - Donna Tartt - Library haul

Back



Inspired by gem's bookstacks set here's a picture of what I borrowed after my last visit to my local library. From top to bottom: Melissa Hill - The last to know I have no idea what this is about but I liked the cover plus it looked new-ish, so I took it. Stefan Merrill Block - The story of forgetting A story about early-onset Alzheimer's doesn't sound like a happy read, but I quite enjoyed it. Parts of it reminded me of Jonathan Safran Foer's second novel Extremely loud and incredibly close and Margaret Attwood's Blind assassin. Donna Tartt - The little friend Her second novel after The secret history and just as good. I'm reading it at the moment and I've been totally sucked in already. I can't believe she's only written those two novels so far - I WANT MORE! Stephenie Meyer - Twlight I wanted to know what all this fuss was about - and now I know. It's an okay-ish book, it's a bit lengthy in places. I didn't leave me gasping for more, I read the summaries of the remaining three books on Wikipedia, that was enough. Not sure if I want to see the movie or not... Bill Bryson - I'm a stranger here myself I don't think I've read it but it might well be the same book that has been published in the UK as Notes from a big country. But even if it is, I'll gladly read it a second time. Three books about Patchwork and Quilting I'm currently teaching my self the basics. I've managed two blocks so far, a Nine Patch and a Log Cabin. Not as difficult as I thought they would be and certainly lots of fun. The thin yellow one in the middle, Schätze aus der Restekiste (Treasures from the scrap box), is the best, but I hesitate to buy it myself. It costs €22 (US$32) O_o
