Sept bookadayUK day 3

3rd: Best Home Front novel (declaration of WW3)

 

I'm not really sure what this means, but I'll assume war type books.

 

This comes to mind due to the time it was set in, although this really wasn't a book I'd ever pick up again (really stressed me out, all the ground hog day deaths). Sadly, this is the closest to any war type book I've read.

 

Although I do remember a Danielle Steel book about a journalist, set during the Vietnam war- I loved that book, but that was over 15 years ago so I have no idea what it was called :S

I. Can. Not. Stop. Laughing.

Sept bookadayUK day 2

2nd: Favourite book set in a school (Back to School)

 

 

From the blurb "The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century."

 

Since I can't choose HP for every pick. This was a unique concept, that fully deliverd. Such a good book!

 

Sept bookadayUK day 1

1st: Favourite book about books and/or bookshops

 

Well, not really about. But the MC works in a bookstore/ coffee shop, which I always got a kick out of.

 

LOVED THIS SERIES!

That moment someone u know gets noticed by someone famous and u by default feel in their celebrity-hood, or try to ride in on their tail skirts. Ha! This cookie monster storm trooper was a youth pastor from my teenage days. Super awesome guy, but his wife is even cooler ♡♡♡

A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness

Witches aren't the only creatures sharing the world with humans, however. There are also daemons -- creative, artistic creatures who walk a tightrope between madness and genius. "Rock stars and serial killers" was how my aunt described these strange, perplexing beings. And there are vampires, ancient and beautiful, who feed on blood and will charm you utterly if they don't kill you first. When a daemon takes a look, I feel the slight, unnerving pressure of a kiss. But when a vampire stares, it feels cold, focused, and dangerous.  "

Never thought of it that way.

 

But yes.

#bookadayuk day 8 & day 9 (which still leaves me a day behind haha)

#bookadayuk day 8: never fails to cheer me up

 

I'm not a happy book kind of gal. I like my books a bit dark and twisty. That being said, I was somehow talked into some chiclit, which allowed me to get my chuckle on. I've really only read Kinsella, one of my most liked by her being

Def. Good for a laugh

I find sometimes it's necessary to genre hop when I start to get the book funk

 

#bookadayuk day 9: most powerful storytellin

Several can be two right? The reading legacy in my family: myself and my son

 

I'm going to pick a book I read as a kid, and he read at the same age, 10

#bookadayuk day 5: classic hero/ine or anti hero/ine

 

I have not read this book.

So I'm kinda cheating (I'm an adult!  I do what I want!)

But I loved the movie because of TYLER DURDEN. And I plan to read the book, I'm going to go mark it "to read" right now, just to show how serious I am.

 

I went with anti hero btw }:|
