So many stories, so little time....

DAY 4

I had a windfall at the library today – 5 reserves arriving within 2 days! There is no way I’ll get through them all in the next month – unless I happen to feel a little unwell ;)

I’ll give you a quick overview...

The Children’s Book | A S Byatt

A famous author writes a separate, private book for each of her children. This looks like a lifelong saga of the children’s childhood and adult lives. A fatty at over 600 pages.

Vampire Academy | Richelle Mead

I am sure this will be a poor attempt to harness the twilight-obsessed teens into another series. From reading the back it looks like mortal enemy type vampires battling it out at a vampire school. Hmmm.

Mr Rosenblum’s List | Natasha Solomons

Mr Rosenblum and his wife, Sadie, are new Jewish arrivals to England after the war. Mr Rosenblum is determined to become an English gentleman and starts compiling a list to help him assimilate to proper society.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies | Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

Looks like Seth Grahame-Smith has added extra chapters to the Jane Austen classic. Now Elizabeth wakes up to discover Zombies in her town and has vowed to get rid of them all. Enter Mr Darcy to add some interest to the story as well. Promising romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism and thousands of rotting corpses.

Book of Threads | Tess Evans

A story of love and loss, parents and children, hope, faith and the value of simple kindness. Set in a small town in Victoria.

So for the next month, don't be offended if I turn you down for a coffee - I've got a very important date with my reading chair....
