⫸ The Twenty-Ninth Day - done: fantastic and picturesque autobiography that captivates the reader with its rich descriptions of the canadian landscape and a shockingly honest and frightning depiction of what a bear attack really means.⫸ The Magick of Food: Rituals, Offerings & Why We Eat Together - done: magnificent in its simplicity it reminds us of the spirituality and sacristy of preparing, eating and sharing food.
⫸ Twenty Boy Summer - done: although flawed, this novel still has tiny perfections that make it a lovely book that should be especially promising to younger readers.
⫸ The Last Huntsman - done: very original and captivating, this narrative is loosely inspired by the German original of Schneewittchen, but twisted in a different way.
⫸ One Week 'Til Christmas - done: A lovely little romance with a soft male hero (love me some soft men) that was just what I needed to get the festive season started.
⫸ Colombiano - done: brutally truthful and heartbreaking story that follows a young colombian autodefensa who is set to avenge his father who was executed by the guerrilla
⫸ Your Brain, Explained: What Neuroscience Reveals About Your Brain and its Quirks - done: everything I look for in a science book can be found in this mind-blowing assortment of peculiarities. our brain truly is a wonder and a riddle.
Updated my original post:finished The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes but I'm still way behind. I was supposed to have finished The Adventures PLUS read 3 chapters from Jong Verlies PLUS made good progress in War Storm. Though I felt I was almost constantly reading I made hardly any progress at all. It's just like October: I feel like I did read quite a bit but I only finished 2 books (and not very long ones at that). How in the world is that possible??
(sorry for the ranting)
I read Gregor the overlander (Underland chronicles #1) by Suzanne Collins. This book was on my 2016 (yes I know, wow) TBR. I tried to read it, but couldn't really get into it at the time. So now I tried it again and really loved it! It's really underappreciated, whilst The hunger games is so populair. Really recommend!
So here's where I stand at present:The Historian - 360 pages in. It's an intriguing story but long and meandering so I've paused for a bit so I can read some stuff I've been itching to get to.
Outlander - 104 pages in. This is my 'before bed' read and I've been so wiped lately that it's been neglected. It's also HUGE so I can see this taking a while.
Crazy Rich Asians - FINISHED! Read my review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Salvation Lost - TBR
Wearing Paper Dresses TBR
Snake Island - Read the first chapter last night. Hasn't grabbed me yet but to be fair I'm less than 20 pages in. XD
Five Dark Fates - Started yesterday and already loving! This is such a fantastic, dark series!
Updated my original post:Finished The Titan's Curse and started on The Girl With All the Gifts which I hope to finish this week, though it will be very busy with work and appointments so will see how far I'll get.
Today I'll be reading for work: kinderen in spagaat
The Historian - Re-started from pg 360. The tiny writing and meandering, choppy story really do make it tough going, even though the story is interesting.Outlander - Haven't gone beyond 104 pages.
Crazy Rich Asians - FINISHED! Read my review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
