Gift
I Am David by Anne Holm
My granny kindly gave me this one :) Thanks granny. I've heard it's amazing and am eager to read it. I love stories about the war. (My copy actually doesn't have this cover, it is an older version, but I couldn't find a picture of the edition anywhere, so I'm using this one)
Bought
Oceans of Blood by Darren Shan
Yay! Darren is one of my favourite authors EVER, he's amazing, so I was SO excited to get this! But I can't read it because I'm saving it for my holidays in a couple of weeks :(
So that's what I got this week. Not much, but I'm delighted!
What did you get in your mailboxes?
I got, My Name is Mina by David Almond and Carrie's War by Nina Bawden. :D Your books sound good!
ReplyDeletecool books! :D I didn't get anything :( hehe
ReplyDeleteI got 3 books from WHSmith - Theodore Boone, Angelolgy and A Room Swept White :) They're all for adults....I hate WHSmith. Wish I had a real bookshop :(
ReplyDeleteI have never read a Darren Shan book. That's so bad isn't it. Hope you enjoy your book haul!
ReplyDeleteI am David sounds great, I love war stories too! I can't wait to see what you think. Since I have never read a Darren Shan book before, which one(s) do you recommend? :-)
ReplyDeletePS. I am having a commentng problem where sometimes it lets me and sometimes it doesn't. So sorry if I don't comment on your blog for a while or don't reply on my own blog!
Rachel - I haven't read Carrie's War, but I want to! Thanks
ReplyDeleteLucy - I don't get anything a lot of weeks either! Thanks :)
Jenni - I've been in WHSmith before, we don't have it over here.
TSB - You DEFINITELY should read a Shan book! They're the best!
Zoe - Yeah, war stories are great. If you don't mind some very - er - gruesome scenes, Lord Loss is amazing. It's the first in The Demonata series (about demons, obviously!) But if you don't like horror, try the Saga of Darren Shan - they're about vampires, but they're not the usual vampire books, they came out years ago, and they're brilliant!
