One of my New Years Resolutions is to read more. As a little girl I was never without my nose buried in a book, and I think it is true the more you read the better you write. So I cast my mind back to what I have managed to read this past year, and though 6 books is pitiful (?!) I enjoyed them all:The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks - After seeing the film a few months back I felt compelled to read the book, which is just as sweet, romantic and easy to read.
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson - I confess, I did judge this book by the cover, and bought it at Gatwick airport before holidaying this year. The page edges are dyed black so you yourself resemble a gargoyle after holding it! A very dark and deeply enthralling novel.
Women who run with the wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes - Quite a well known title, and long to get through, but very inspiring if you feel you have lost your inner wild woman.
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen - I wrote about this is an earlier post.
Magus of Stonewylde by Kit Berry - The first of a series set in 'Stonewylde'. Easy reading and suited for those interested in a bit of mystery, nature, and romance.
The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen - Sarah's second book, just as enjoyable though I slightly preferred Garden Spells. She makes it easy for you to relate to her lead characters.
Any ideas for my reading list of 2009?!
Have been meaning to get round to seeing the film of The Notebook. You have now convinced me to put it at the top of my list. Thanks Cherry Blog...
