Well, there was a small book fair here and I found a really nice stall of old books so I bought 6. Here are my buys this week:
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
I honestly have no idea what this book is about. But I've heard so much that I feel like I need to read this too...
The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
Again, a book everyone loves but I haven't read yet. So I bought it... Also, I love this cover!
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
I've wanted to read this book from the day I saw the pilot episode of Supernatural. I don't know if there is a connection or not but this is supposed to be a mystery classic so why not give it a try?
The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan
With the new Percy Jackson movie coming out, every bookstore that I visit, the people there try to persuade me to buy these books. So I finally did! Yaay! But I'm not going to start this series until I finish the Harry Potter series.
One Day by David Nicholls
I've seen the movie and I liked it so I wanted to read the book too.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith
This is probably my favorite book out of the ones that I've bought and I started reading it as soon as I got into the car. It's good so far. I love Pride & Prejudice, something about it feels like home (though I'm no where near English nor have I ever been to England). I haven't really read any zombie books so I'm really looking forward to this. I'm a few pages in and I'm loving it so far. Plus I'm really enjoying the illustrations!
And that's the list of books I got this week. What books did you get recently?
Fabulous books!
ReplyDeleteThe Woman in White is excellent, and arguably one of the first popular mystery novels written. Some of it is in the form of letters, I seem to recall. I loved it! <3
Really? I'm looking forward to reading it now. :)
