Books

Just a quick update on my crazy reading habits of the moment. Last week I went on a crazy reading marathon and successfully read The Boy In The Striped PJ's in one whole evening. Not a hard thing to do, admittedly I did feel a little cringey reading it in public what with the huge text, but overall a great read. I had been eager to read it before I watch the film as I've always had a kind of morbid curiosity for WW2. The more horrifying the better, I'm so sick. I think I just can't seem to get my head around the fact that these are actual facts, true story, no jokes. This book was a lovely little gem of the innocence children are blessed with especially in hard times and I just hope the film lives up to it!
I'm ashamed to say I've put down 'Haunted' by Chuck Pala...... because its simply going to have to wait for a time where I feel like reading the weirdest most freaky things, and that time is not now. I know I will come back to it, but I go through 'moods' when reading, and I'm just not up for hearing about young boys having to chew off their intestine.....
Also, being the multi-tasker that I am, I'm currently reading a nice little chick flick called The Brightest Star In The Sky by Marian Keyes. Slightly similar set up to The Street, a mysterious presence (which my mum spoiled by telling me its an unborn baby) follows the lives of each person living in each flat inside an apartment block. Its a sweet story so far and I'm really enjoying it.
HOWEVER. I'm missing my James Patterson murdery stories. Today I unwillingly headed to Waterstones, the realization that Borders is truly gone sinking in with every step. I find it hard looking for a book when I don't really know what I want. I'm terrible for judging books by covers, but really that's all you have to go on, isn't it? Anyway, I went for an author who was recommended to me called Harlan Coben, the book called The Woods....And I really can't seem to prize myself away from it, theres simply not enough time in one night to get it all read, especially with River City taking up a whole hour.....
