Outside the Blog
I am left alone at home for this weekend which is not a bad thing at all when you have a great wish to read and too many people walking around during a week.
I finished A Monster Calls this week I thought it is a very touching story and written masterfully, I cannot give this book full praise as it seems to me (regardless of the topic seriousness) too juvenile.
I started a non-fiction book which does not happen often The Making of Pride and Prejudice by Sue Birtwistle and Susie Conklin. I was not sure I would like this type of book and was pleasantly surprised by the smooth narration and great structure of the book. I do not hurry through it and enjoying reading about making one of my favourite TV series.

ReplyDeleteA weekend alone sounds lovely. I am reading The Thirst right now. It's very good.
ReplyDeleteThe Making Of book sounds neat, I'd love to see more of that. Backstage glimpses into favorite shows. Hope you're having a good weekend of reading. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Thirst sounds like it will be a good read. A few weeks ago, I marked it on my list of new releases to check out. I hope you enjoy it.
