If you love lists, try this
I came across this today while checking our Library Twitter feed. Auckland Libraries recommended it, and I thank them for bringing it to my attention. The purpose of The Broke and the Bookish blog is to gather lists of books for the bookish (and the broke, which, let's face it, includes most of us!) The lists include mouthwatering gems like: Books I have lied about, Top ten book endings that left me with my mouth hanging open, Top ten books I wish I could read again for the first time, Characters you would love as family members, and 80 or so more. So if you are struggling to find the next book to read, want to find something that you can suggest that we purchase, or you are so busy that you only have time to read about what others are reading - this is the blog for you. What other blogs and websites do you use to find your next good read?
An excellent debut novel : The descendants
The descendants : a novel Kaui Hart Hemmings
The movie is currently receiving much publicity, as is the fact that it is not to screen locally, here in Invercargill. The book has received rave reviews, with comments such as "a remarkable feat" from Kirkus Reviews, and according to The guardian (London), it "manages to be both shockingly irreverent and funny while exerting that all-important emotional tug."
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher?
Lee Child continues to be one of our most popular authors, with borrowing statistics showing him not just in the top spot for December with Worth dying for, but also sitting in four of the top 20 slots. I am a huge fan of the towering Jack Reacher - he fits my hero image quite nicely, thank you!
