Literally my love for Landy is burning brighter than a thousand planets right now ... I finished Skulduggery #7 last night and HOT DAMN IT'S A GOOD BOOK. Oh man oh man.

By reading books? That's how I acquire mine! XD<br /><br />I haven't read The Help, but I'm keen! I was slightly disappointed in all of your disappointments, too ... I liked Fangirl but it's not the best thing ever imo, and I think I quite liked Insurgent (can hardly remember, to be honest, it was so long ago), but not Allegiant! Not a big of TMR.<br /><br />I hope you got onto Cinder, I really like TLC! I don't actually think Cinder is the best ever, but I LOVED Scarlet and can't wait to read Cress! I've never read any Bardugo but I'm super keen.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-46398076009121693762017-06-13T18:27:39.742+01:002017-06-13T18:27:39.742+01:00Yes, yes and yes to Galbraith, Tartt and Amis!
I ...Yes, yes and yes to Galbraith, Tartt and Amis!<br /><br />I STILL HAVEN'T READ IT. I THINK IT'S CURSED?? IT'S THE ONLY BOOK THAT CAME HOME FROM KENYA UNREAD THAT IS STILL UNREAD. GOSH.

I love Time's Arrow and Sunset Song -- hope you get a chance to pick them both up!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-6373517373696345112017-02-04T04:30:47.176+00:002017-02-04T04:30:47.176+00:00There's so many books here!
I don't know...There's so many books here! <br /><br />I don't know what to do with myself?<br /><br />And you're away from the internet! *distant sobbing*<br /><br />But I hope you're having a good time. Although I guess when you answer this you will have already had the good time, yeah? <br /><br />Ahem, but obviously I need to prioritize some Derek Landy books and Shakespeare. And you've made me interested in Anne again. I read the fourth book and had had it with Anne's diary excerpts (I love trees and all, but not much happens in that book. . .). But I might give the next book a try if you say it's better. <br /><br />I have finally read Under Milk Wood by the way. It's quite beautiful. a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-84972196600944611952017-01-13T17:29:31.082+00:002017-01-13T17:29:31.082+00:00Whoa so many books.

How does one even acquire a bookish crush?<br /><br />Favourite books of 2016 were The Help and Head Over Heels.<br /><br />Disappointments? Fangirl,The Maze Runner Series, Insurgent, Allegiant... 2016 wasn't the best year for me. I'm glad this year is getting better. I'm planning on reading Cinder, Six of Crows and others. I'm trying to get into Fantasy or see what the big deal is at least. And also to support authors other than Holly Smale xD Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540365342855306287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-30019356156439600962017-01-12T02:30:11.457+00:002017-01-12T02:30:11.457+00:00I really need to get to the Galbraith books and Do...I really need to get to the Galbraith books and Donna Tartt one of these days! <br /><br />I think I'll have to try Time's Arrow - it sounds fascinating. <br /><br />Daughter of Smoke and Bone is so wonderful - I still haven't read the final book (because I just don't want it to end). The Scorpio Races is excellent - I really want more from that world too. And of course Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is amazing - I wouldn't mind if it were a few hundred pages longer - also I highly recommend the tv adaptation!Lauren Stoolfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777860030600932061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-39532026265530271262017-01-11T16:53:01.504+00:002017-01-11T16:53:01.504+00:00EMILY.

Okay so basically I have to leave my college library rn but I just want to say right:<br /><br />Like three years ago I posted this thing (http://littlemoonelephant.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/boy-with-eyes-that-match-his-hair.html) which is super cringey but about this guy not liking me, and you commented. Anyway so this is literally insane but yesterday the guy in that crappy poem and I started dating! It's literally completely mad but I just had to inform you of the update because... it's mad. I just... I can't even. How things change!! And yet we're still blogger friends C; <3<br /><br />Sorry for the rambling, I will read this post when I'm not on the verge of being logged out by the timer, but I just had to point it out.

Then again I've probably just added another 10 books to my TBR because of this post. Thanks :L *tbr tower turns into leaning tower of pisa*<br />My favourite book of 2016 was I'll Give You The Sun! I fell madly and deeply in love with it <3 <3 <3<br />Also Asking For It by Louise O'Neill was another favourite. So brilliantly haunting!<br />I want to wish you well for your trip to Kenya! And I hope to hear all about it upon your return.

Really? I always assumed that everyone devours each and every Anne book. <br />Time's Arrow sounds fascinating! I'm looking forward to reading that review. <br />I think I need to read Sunset Song now.
