Books for Christmas

I thought I would do a very delayed, last day of January post about the books I got for Christmas. I usually use my birthday and Christmas as a time to ask for new books that have been on my want-list for a while and I just haven't got around to buying. This year was no different.

1). The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins 

I am so very late to the party with this book, but having really gotten into thrillers/crime last year, I can't wait to get hooked into another one.

2).  Moab is my Washpot by Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry is my spirit animal. His sharp wit, charm and self-deprecating Britishness is endlessly entertaining, and his style of writing is genuis. Very excited to dip in and out of this autobiography.

3).  The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo

I didn't ask for this one...I think someone is trying to tell me something. I have yet to delve into to this, however perhaps it will help me clear my room before its redecoration this year! Here's hoping.

4). Literary Listography: My Reading Life in Lists written by Lisa Nola, illustrated by Holly Exley

Again, not on my list, but I love these kinds of books, so this was right up my street. It is full of pages to fill in, like 'Fictional characters I'd go on a date with', 'Books I read in high school' and 'Words I love and hate the sound of'. I'm considering doing occasional blog posts as I fill this in to document my lists. 

5). The Ladybird Book of Dating by Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris 

If you haven't seen any books in this series yet, get yourself to a bookshop near you; these will make you giggle! 

So that's my little list of Christmas books (I told you I like lists)! 

I aim to be better at blogging in the New Year yada yada yada...time will tell!
