Sunday reads... Twilight

What is a better way to chill on a Sunday morning that to read a good book in bed? (Apart from surfing pinterest of course!)

I know that Twilight came out years ago. I know that you've probably seen the movies. I know that you probably chose Edward or Jake. But hey, I would happily reread the series. They are totally ridiculous. They are totally absorbing. You can relate to Bella even if you are in your thirties. And there is something totally and utterly spellbinding about the myth of vampires, non?

If you're late to the party and you haven't read them yet, do it!

Edward v Jake?
Vampires or werewolves?
Are you a fantasy fan or not at all?

Sunday reads... Oh Dear Silvia

Last weekend was the first real touch of autumn. fresh but bright sunny mornings, spurts of rain (at one point, hail!) & grey chilly evenings. perfect curl-up-with-a-book-weather.

So I did. I picked up Oh Dear Silvia not because it is by Dawn French but because I was intrigued by the cover. I liked the tree & the typography. I was curious as to who Silvia was. 

At first when reading it, I didn't think I'd get to know who Silvia was, but you do. you learn about her through those around her. Each character is vivid. The book is well-written and made me laugh out loud in places. It was un-put-downable.

The end, when it came, was as I expected, the twist of emotion that came with it I hadn't expected!

A beautiful read, well done Ms French.

Have you read it?

What makes you pick a certain book?
