Books I Bought

Title: The Marlowe Papers
Author: Ros Barber

Title: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close/ Everything is Illuminated
Author: Jonathan Safran Foer

I have started becoming a lot more picky about the books I buy, because I was getting out a tad of control. I now resist cheap and secondhand paperbacks and try to go for quality over quantity. I buy most YA for my Kindle now too as it is more practical to read whilst travelling and whilst I'm eating lunch at work, so really I just look at beautiful books that I'll want to keep forever! I've had my eye on these two books for agges and decided to finally get them. I love Jonathan Safran Foer, so having this beautiful edition of his books makes me happy! I haven't read 'The Marlowe Papers' yet but I can't wait to- it is a novel in poems which really intrigues me. Anyway, here they are:






Books For Review

Title: Rift
Author: Andrea Cremer

Title: The Land of Stories
Author: Chris Colfer

Title: The Diviners
Author: Libba Bray

I am so thankful to Atom this week for sending me three absolutely beautiful review copies. They are just gorgeous. 


Although I love them all, I have been lusting after The Diviners for ages, so getting this beautiful ARC was just....ahhh. I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH.



Those are the books I got this week- thanks again Atom!

  4. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who delights in the physical design of a book almost as much as the contents of it sometimes. ;-) Happy reading this week!
