Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.

Surprisingly, I've never read it before.
I'm really enjoying it.



I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright

Oooh, that's an awesome book! Good plot twists!



It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

That book makes me cry!

I'm reading 'A Perfectly Good Man' by Patrick Gale. Love his books!



"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."

I haven't read books in years, until I got a book for Christmas and read through it in a few days. It could possibly be triggering, but its called "Walking on Eggshells" by Lyssa Chapman. Kind of an autobiography, but at the same time not really. It's non-fiction, and completely about her life, but she talks about her upbringing and drug addictions, being a teen mom, all other kinds of stuff. It's a good read!

Might be a little too "simple" to read depending on whether you like challenging books or just an easy read. I usually like challenging books, but this was good for me.




1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I just finished reading The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I really liked it! Now i'm starting Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Very interesting so far.

Today I finished Doctor Who: The Witch Hunters by Stephen Cole, which was about the Salem Witch Trials. Almost immediately after getting home I ordered two new books; another Doctor Who book and a non-fiction book about the Witch Trials.

Now I'm debating whether to re-read Bret Hart's autobiography or read Going Postal by Terry Pratchett.

I started reading Deception Point by Dan Brown again last night.
I know a lot of literature elitists who hate Dan Brown, but his books grab me and keep me interested right through, which is rare for me at the moment.
I've only read it once, I can't remember much about it. I must have read Angels and Demons about 8 times.




Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

Re-reading Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight

Is one of my favourites :)

Earlier this week I finished reading HITMAN: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Professional Wrestling by Bret Hart, which is one of my favourite books of all time. Now I'm about halfway through Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett.

Finally got round to finishing the dark knight strikes again graphic novel and I'm more than halfway through vol1 of the death note manga, never read a manga before but I figured since I loved the death note movies and anime I'd give it a shot

I started 'Crank' today by Ellen Hopkins which is amazing so far. I loved the writing style it's so different than anything I have read so far.
Before that I read 'Allegiant' by Veronica Roth which was a little disappointing??

Today I finished Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett. It wasn't as laugh-out-loud funny as some of his other books, but still brilliant. It's amazing how he can make the invention of the steam engine seem like the birth of an all-powerful, benevolent god.

Tomorrow I'm going to start reading A Delusion Of Satan by Frances Hill, it's apparently one of the better accounts of the Salem Witch Trials, a subject which has been of great interest to me recently. I'm looking forward to reading it.

I've just started 'I Capture the Castle' by Dodie Smith. It's alright, though a little disappointing after all the good things I've heard about it - but I'm not very far into it, so hopefully it will grow on me!

I'm reading the manga: Naoki Urasawa's Monster
I finished volume 1 and within 20 pages or so, I was hooked!

I'm also reading The Magician: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
It's an extension on a story about an immortal wizard from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I've been engrossed in the Harry Potter world since the first book came out and this is a great read to add to it.

Still looking for dystopian novels that I haven't read yet.
