Book Haul # 8


“I’m gonna go into the bookshop but just to browse. I don’t intend to buy anything”, said no reader ever. I just can’t help myself. I have a problem but it is okay because it’s mine only – well, and also my parents’ and sisters’, who are going to be one day buried under all the books... but that isn’t really a horrible fate now, I think :P

So, as you can guess today I have another book haul. Both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland editions have been on my radar for a while and once the one designed by Anna Bond came out I placed my order. But of course I took the opportunity to add some more books to my collection: The Brontë Series published by Vintage Classics and two titles by Salt (Jen Campbell is to blame for these ones since she's constantly praising Salt). The rest of them I got when I went to Pasajes looking for A Wild Swan and Other Tales by Michael Cunningham. This will most likely be my last book haul in a while. I might be travelling to Ireland next February to visit a friend working as an au pair there and I wanna save most of my money for that. Fingers crossed I can actually build enough willpower to get me through the next three tortuous months of not buying books.

Book Review // The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

The Improbability of Love  by Hannah Rothschild { Goodreads } Published by Bloomsbury in 2016 Paperback edition; 479 pages { BookDepository } The Improbability of Love follows a bunch of different characters all involved in different ways with the art-world scene in London when a very famous painting –which gives name to the novel – is found by Annie, the main protagonist we could say, in a thrift shop. Don’t be fooled by the cover which screams chick-lit through and through; the novel deals with so much more.

Weekend Reads

This weekend I'm planning on finishing El día de año nuevo y otros cuentos maravillosos  - a short story collection by Vladímir Odóievski that so far it's simply okay nothing really special- and reading a chunk of Outlander . I'm halfway through the latter and so far, it's a very enjoyable read; I started watching the TV show last year when it premiered but stopped after some episodes because I wanted to read the book. I'm finally caught up with what I saw and from now on I don't know what's going to happen which makes me wanna read even more. What are your plans for the weekend?
