I do have a Kindle, but would rather hold the real thing in my hands. I am so faraway from a truly functioning library and do buy books online. I love the "poetry" of the words, the incredible writing..oh, sigh. Now reading The Bee Keeper's Apprentice and going back soon to G. K. Chesterton. Two books that truly had me were All The Light We Cannot See and Dead Wake. Do you ever hold a book close to your heart..and a book where you just have to put down and leave the room..pace around and come back to because it breaks your heart, or maybe just overwhelms you? Cry the Beloved Country as well. ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245099394863979981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-75820369462952449222015-07-26T17:33:09.813+01:002015-07-26T17:33:09.813+01:00I like all sorts of different books but find they ...I like all sorts of different books but find they need to be well written to completely hold me. I am almost at the end of a book that I just happened to pick up in Waterstones and which I have ripped through, finding it hard to put down mainly because of the twisty turny plot. It's called The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair and although sometimes the writing was a bit annoying the plot is really good. I think next I'm going for the Alan Cumming autobiography. Not something I would normally go for but I started that one in Waterstones as well. I've also just bought the new Harper Lee so I'm quite organised reading wise. Having said that I love a recommendation so I'll check this one out as well xAli Whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526098221878448344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-88341302694506664542015-07-25T22:07:00.489+01:002015-07-25T22:07:00.489+01:00It sounds excellent!

For me a good book is the quality of the writing first and foremost, a story that I can relate to, a protagonist that touches my heart. <br />Amalia<br />xo<br />handmade by amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589172037052603746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-9189151647822957712015-07-25T08:49:00.181+01:002015-07-25T08:49:00.181+01:00Sounds amazing but as a bedtime reader perhaps a l...Sounds amazing but as a bedtime reader perhaps a little too exciting to be read at that time of day......sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-67154792767718127282015-07-23T20:48:03.207+01:002015-07-23T20:48:03.207+01:00it's been a long time since i read a book that...it's been a long time since i read a book that made me give up other activities. i do miss that.<br /><br />i like the idea of getting to see your life through another perspective.Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605086016726488440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-21234689404081742812015-07-23T16:03:07.557+01:002015-07-23T16:03:07.557+01:00Oh yes, I love a book you just can't put down....Oh yes, I love a book you just can't put down.
