My latest book purchases and why...

My latest book purchases are:

I have recently brought a lot of books, mainly because I work nights at work and they can go a little slow when there is no work to do I am able to read. I've been flying through books which is amazing. Here is a list of books so far, and a little bit about the ones I am looking forward to the most.

  • The Time keeper by Mitch Albom 
  • The First Phone Call From Heaven by Mitch Albom 
  • The Quiet Game by Greg Iles (series, including The Bone Tree) 
  • Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes 
  • The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins 
  • The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan 
  • Department 19 by Will Hill
  • You Don't Have To Say You Love Me by Sarra Manning
  • Just A Girl Standing In Front Of A Boy by Lucy-Anne Holmes 
  • Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
  • Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell 
  • Me Before You by Jojo Moyes 


The Quiet Game by Greg Iles...
this is also a book by Iles, I have been recommended this book by several people and thought I'd give it a go, it is the first book of a series and I haven't read a series in a while so I am going to try this one and see how it goes.

Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes 
This book is based on Hitler coming back from the dead, he becomes a YouTube star and follows Hitler as a YouTubing and staring in his own TV show, I have mixed views of this book, but I am looking forward to reading it.

The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan 
From the reviews this book is heartwarming and very emotional. The book is a collection of essays written by Marina, sadly Marina died in a car accident 3 days after graduating from university. She had a very bright future ahead of her, which sadly was taken from her in a freak accident. I am looking forward to reading it but feel that I am going to need a lot of tissues at the ready.

The Girl of the Train by Paula Hawkins
This book was eagerly recommended to me by the staff of Waterstones, I was lucky enough to be given a voucher from my wonderful friend Vikki for my birthday so thought I'd give it ago. I am about to start the book and from what I've read (reviews) I will not be putting it down.
