I don't update this very much do I? Sorry. I'm resolving to do better from now on. Hence!
( Kate Atkinson, 'Case Histories.' )
Next, is probably John Simpson, 'My World, My Masters.' Thought I might try to get going again on Gregory Maguire's 'Lost.' Maybe.

12:52 pm - Books
|
Affinity, Sarah Waters
I liked this very much. I think it's my favourite of her books. ( The ending... )
Midnight, Jacqueline Wilson
Very creepy and magical. Um. Nothing else to say really. Except that I really like Jacquline Wilson's books.
A Series of Unfortunate Events: Bad Beginings, Lemony Snicket
Why did I wait so long to read these books? They're ever so good. Or the first one was. A great, creepy villian, the oblivious adults ( (I especially liked) ) But very good, will defiantely find the other 5(?) books and watch the film at some point, which is currently sitting on my shelf.

4:59 pm - BOOK: Strange Places, Questionable People (John Simpson)
|
Have I finished a book? Don't die of shock. :P (Actually I have finished some, just not updated this journal, oops.)
Actually, it was because I was reading this one. It's one of those books that have to put down and walk away from even now and then because it all gets a bit harrowing because it's real. Also, I tend to struggle a bit more with non-fiction books anyway.
It's very good though, in between the haunting bits there are some funny stories and interesting insights. I liked ( teeny tiny spoiler )
I have the second book, but I might leave it for a little while and finish all the other books I'm halfway through atm first.
I don't have my John Simpson icon on this account. Shocking! ;)

10:10 pm - BOOK: Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (Haruki Murakami)
|
(These aren't going to be reviews so much as me babbling about the book in question. Just so you know.)
As I only had a few chapters left I figured I'd finish this one first. And I enjoyed it, ( except...(spoilers) )
Defiantely one to reread at some point, I think.
