Book Reviews

‘The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.’ Alan Bennett

“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.” ― Franz Kafka

Follow Friday Blog Hop

Friday again, hooray!!


'Follow Friday' is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.


The question this week: It's that pesky magic book fairy again! She has another wish: What imaginary book world would you like to make a reality? 


Well even though I am not the world's most dedicated Harry Potter fan, I love the films and would really like to step into that world and be able to walk along Diagon Alley and visit some of the magical places they go to. 
A lot of my favourite books are actually quite sad or are set during traumatic periods in history and so much as I loved to read them I don't think I'd like to make those worlds real again. I suppose the ones that I'd like to make a reality would be the happy, fun places, so I'll stick with my HP answer for now!

Follow my book blog Friday

The question this week from the Follow Friday hosted by parajunkee.com is

Q. The magic book fairy pops out of your cereal box and says "you and your favorite character (from a book of course) can switch places!" Who are you going to switch with?


This is a really good question, I could spend ages thinking about it and would definitely change my mind depending when asked! It makes me think of the television series 'Lost in Austen'. Hmm. My first thought was perhaps Cathy in Wuthering Heights. Also Hermione from Harry Potter would be fun. I really have to think about this one more and maybe come back to it!

Crazy for Books - Book Blogger Hop * Follow Friday - Parajunkee

A book party and way of connecting with other book bloggers, love this idea!

Visit Crazy for Books to find out more and to take part.

This weeks question - my favourite post from the last month? Hmm, I think it would be my Grahm Swift book review, which got a couple of comments - hooray. Although I am doing my blog for my own confidence and as a hobby, it's very nice to know that someone has read some of it and appreciated it :)



And, another fab blog hop is Follow Friday from Parajunkee, another place to find more bloggers and for them to find you!

This weeks question - What are you doing to prepare for an upcoming zombie apocalypse and/or the return of Mel Gibson to the silver screen? (Both of which could be terrifying). Er, hiding behind my big dog?, and not sure about him now but used to watch his movies when I was younger...

Book fun on a Friday!
