May have bought new books.....
Needed to pop to The Mall for juniors birthday and Waterstones was between the 2 shops that I needed to go to, one on ground floor and 1 on upper floor. Despite not needing any books I just had to go in for a browse.
These 2 caught my eye, 'Before the coffee gets cold' is a translation of a Japanese book. I love the sound of coffee based time travel ! Its also quite a small book so will probably be read over 2 evenings or in 1 go.
'Everything is beautiful' pulled me in for its cover initially, but then the blurb got me. A woman who collects things that others may chuck away, but to her are beautiful and act as memories of a past life that could have been.
My final book for September will be
My friend gave me the shadow Chronicles set, of which this is part. There are 4 books, this is number 4 but is a continuation of book one, the other 2 are stand alone books on the same theme. Friend said to read this after the first book and so I will. I really enjoyed book one so am hopeful that I will like this.
Only 3 books planned this month as I really want to get a blooming knitting project finished and I haven't mastered the art of reading a physical book whilst knitting. I know I could do audible or use my Kindle but I really love a real book, and love the experience of bookshops.
"Before the coffee gets cold" sounds a fascinating read, my kind of book. My nearest Waterstones has a coffee shop upstairs and it seems a long time since I was sat in there.
ReplyDeleteA book store with a coffee shop sounds like my kind of heaven..
DeleteI could spend hours in a bookshop, I'm always drawn in whenever I pass one. They sound like three interesting reads.
ReplyDeleteI really could spend all day in there. I am hopeful they will be good reads.
