Books I Bought
Title: Anna Dressed in Blood
Author: Kendare Blake
I had been lusting after this book for ages and ages and suddenly it appeared through my door! I have absolutely no recollection of ordering it, but when I checked my Amazon account I had actually ordered it a few weeks ago and completely forgotten! Nice surprise!
Books Borrowed From the Library!
I am a librarian at a secondary school, and this week I pillaged the shelves of a few good looking books!
Title: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Author: C.G Bond
I have already finished this short play and I loved it! Review coming soon. It was grotesque and gruesome and melodramatic: great escapism!

Title: The Cherry Orchard
Author: Anton Chekhov
I know this is rather a classic play and because it looked so teeny and manageable I thought I would give it a read!
Title: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life
Author: Bryan Lee O'Malley
I am already halfway through this little graphic novel: I adored the film and this is proving to be just as fun and quirky. Perhaps targeted at a younger audience than the film was though.
Title: Astercote
Author: Penelope Lively
I know absolutely nothing about this book but I was gifted a copy due to lots of spares being given to the library! It is about the Black Death in the 14th Century...sounds gloomy but I think it'll be pretty good!
Title: The Canterbury Tales
Author: Geoffrey Chaucer
I really loved this copy and the translations seem really accessible. I read 'The Miller's Tale' while I was at school in the Old English and thought I should make myself familiar with a few of the others over the summer!
That completes my haul for another week! I went borrowing rather than buying this week which I am rather proud of!
I bought Anna Dressed in Blood today and I'm planning on starting it tomorrow! I'm exciting to read it and I hope you (and I) really like it! :)
Replylol you mystery placed an order yourself that's funny. Hope you enjoy it. It's been on my own TBR list.
ReplyIt looks like you've got a lot of great books to keep you busy for a while. I read the whole Scott Pilgrim series and had to get my son to explain parts to me. Enjoy!
ReplySuch interesting titles! Happy reading...

I looooved Anna Dressed In Blood, but I haven't seen that cover with the dress completley Red. I order things and forget ALL the time. And I loooove Scott Pilgrim the movie, so I read all the graphic novels last year. They are so good. The end is a little different, but I liked the end in the graphic novels better, even though I LOVED the movie.
ReplyI hope you have a great week of reading.

I haven't read any of those. I hope they're lots of fun!
ReplyI am SO starting Anna on audio soon. *squeal*
ReplyHaha, surprise Anna Dressed in Blood IS awesome! I just finished the audio last week, which was terrible (the audio, not the book), so it's a good thing you're reading it. I need to read Scott Pilgrim sometime myself! I agree, I love the film.
ReplyNice blog....enjoy your books.
ReplyNEW FOLLOWER.
