Stack of books waiting to be read
( Future Reads )

[Error: unknown template qotd] 1. Necronomicon by H.P.Lovecraft.   A collection of his works. Nice and thick, printed on very fine paper. Should take some time :D

2. The Vines Of Yarrabee by Dorothy Eden.  I've read this book twice and both times took me over a year to read. I was a lot younger and probably didn't appreciate the brilliance of this book. Hope my Gran still has it so I can borrow it once I've finished my pile. Actually, I might pick it up next time I go round!

3. A Little Love Song by Michelle Magorian. Took this book out of the school library numerous times and it never lost it. Whatever 'it' is. Wartime romance isn't my usual cup of tea.

4. Anything Goes by John Barrowman & Carol E. Barrowman.  I swear this book is the funniest thing ever written. Laughing out loud on the bus. Check. Not being able to read in lectures for fear of laughing out loud. Check. Sex up a tree. Check.

5. Green Angel by Alice Hoffman.   So close to choosing Relentless by Simon Kernick but as that one has only been read once and Green Angel has been read multiple times that was my choice. Deliciously dark teenage fiction, with a little hope winding it's way through the thorns. (If you've read it, you'll appreciate that description!)

A few people have done this, so I thought I'd give it a go.

What Kind of Reader Are You? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Well I wouldn't say I'm obsessive-compulsive as I'm reading a few books at once. One is a weird crime story that's gone round the dinner ladies - my Gran's friends, and yes I appear to be in their reading circle! Another is Necronomicon by H.P. Lovecraft. Pure brilliance but not a book I want to take on the bus to read as it's rather big and leather bound. Started reading RTD's book, it's in emails so easy enough to break from and also too big for on the bus. My other current book is Wicked. Around a third of the way through and I'm loving it. Felt like I got home in 5 mins rather than an hour.

Snob? Maybe slightly. Got into the classics recently and H.P. Lovecraft is THE author to read if you're into sci-fi or 'weird fiction'. Trashy romances just don't do it for me. Not even on a beach. Give me a good murder anyday!

Fad, again maybe. Read the potter books, will probably read Twilight soon if just to see what all the hype is about. Doctor Who books often get taken out of the library but I actually bought one today. Torchwood are always bought day of release and each book seems to be an improvement on the last.

Zavvii's clearance sale is pretty crap and stuff still costs more than HMV and Play. Got a couple of books for £3.50 each so that wasn't bad. They've now joined my 3 piles of 'to read' books that keep growing.
