What I love about the holidays is the time I get to spend away from work and hang out with my Kindle, 6" E Ink Display
Travelling is a great excuse for me to pull out the kindle and read, read read. Funny story, my mother (who is an educator) has "Read, Read, Read, Everyday!" as part of her signature of her email! So I guess its' an innate thing, I was born to read. And this month really gave me a lot of time to read!

Okay so not as many as I had hoped. But I am starting to chip away at this list. Here's to January! Maybe I'll cross another 2 or 3 off!
Happy Reading!

I totally love that you are reading! I read as a serious hobby as well and I love it. I think a book you should add for fun is Enders Game. Its sort of a young adult book but the message resonates with me and the best part....marvel is making this book into a movie this year with harrison ford! I highly recommend reading it before the film hits theaters!

My Dad was the reader in my family. I love books, I love reading, I love my Kindle for iPad because I can take my entire library with me. I also love having real books at home that I can pick up and hold in my had when I want to.
ReplyDeleteI will be happy when I'm done working on my Master's and I can actually take the time to get into good books again!
Have fun reading, Clare!
I think you're doing GREAT!!! Plus how unique and amazing is it that you are actually taking the time and effort to go through good literature and become a well-read person. You have NO IDEA how much I wish we could have a coffee date and talk books!!! Maybe I missed it...but have you read Brave New World?!

I need to catch up on the classics as well. If you are taking a break from them, you've probably read these, but Hunger Games and The Help are a MUST for easy reads. I'm reading Gone Girl right now.

Ok honey, here's my list, with some notes (please forgive my mistakes as non-native wannabe English speaker)
ReplyDelete- enjoyable, well written, peculiar lovable characters: all the novels by Alexander McCall Smith. My favourite: Life according to Bertie
- talking about ratial issues in the Mississipi's of 1960s, engaging plot: The Help by Kathryn Stockett
- with a well built hystorical setting, a disconcerting plot - but it happens after all: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
- amazing portray of Bombay in the 1980s from an unusual spectator: Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
- as you may have noticed I like novels set in a well described hystorical scenario, as is The birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant (set in Florence at the time of Girolamo Savonarola)
- if you like coffee, you can't miss The various flavours of coffee by Anthony Capella: it's enchanting.
Now... let me know!
Stop by whenever you like, it makes me happy!
Love, Coco
