My Week in Books – 5

This week has been a rather productive week for me in terms of reading. The Help (which I finished last week) was a bit of a heavier book that took me a little longer to read however this week I have finished two books.  Love Anthony by Lisa Genova and The Beach Cafe by Lucy Diamond.

I’ve read one of Lucy Diamond’s books before and they are nice super easy feel good reads. Entirely predictable but good fun – the perfect book for reading by the pool (or in the bath!) I finished this one really quick and it’s now with my mum. Love Anthony I found a strange book. I watched Still Alice over Christmas time and thought it was brilliant. I wanted to read some more of Lisa Genova’s books and had this one plus another reserved at the library. It was a nice easy read but I found parts of it tedious and there is an almost super natural element to it which just doesn’t do it for me at all. It was OK, but I found I was reading some parts of it quickly as it was a little tedious.

My next book is The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins. This is another library book and I can’t wait to get started on this one. I’ve heard such good things about this book and I hope it lives up to the hype!

The Children have had some lovely books sent to them this week too, and I’ll write about them more later in the week. I also managed to pick up a little charity shop bargain this week, just 10p for the book! No real reason for choosing it other than at 10p it seemed silly not to take it!
