what i'm reading/about to read


I'm sure we're all aware how much of an avid reader I am - it is my favourite thing in the world to do, and one of my resolutions for this year was to make time to read. Over the past little while, I've picked up books here and there and this is what is commonly referred to as my 'To Be Read' pile. Only 9 books, one of which I'm reading (which isn't too bad in my opinion!) but here are just the three I'm about to read.

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, which is the first book in the Infernal Devices series. I've read City of Bones by the same author and wasn't blown away, so I'm trying her other series to see if I'd like that better. It's hardback so I'm saving this for summer!

The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. It is more or less, their opinions on the famous questions of the universe. I'm a big philosopher lover, but I hadn't read anything approaching the topic from science. It's quite short with large type but it isn't quite the book that you fly through!

George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones. I'm off to Portugal on Thursday (SO EXCITED!!!) and this is the only book I'm taking, along with my Kindle. Can't wait to read this.


In case you all didn't know, I do have a Goodreads account, which you can find here. What are you reading?

    1. I'm determined to finally read it! I think summer is the perfect time to read - nothing better than a good book and a cocktail in the sun! Ah I know what you mean, I'm a really fast reader and feel horrified at how many books I've gotten through! However I really find that my kindle helps me read more, so maybe look into one of them?xx

      Goodreads is amazing! It's like a facebook for reading, you can read reviews of books, write reviews, look at what your friends are reading, comment on discussions on books you've read, it's an obsession! xx
