Book reviews and debt

Jul 30, 2010 20:39

Oh dear, self. I get money for a job and then I run around buying crap and now, well, I am halfway into my overdraft and it's gonna take at least two weeks' pay to dig me out of it. Oh dear. And I still need to get the books on my reading list. And I'm going to Whitby for a spell next week. Oh dear indeed.

So! Fingers crossed I don't get myself sacked. Again.

One of my lovely new purchases (amongst other things a bra set I have been coveting for ages and it was FINALLY in the sale and ridiculously expensive lipstick) is a Book Journal from Paperchase. It has sections for book reviews, a to-be-read list, and a borrowed/leant column. Oh, I am a happy girl and I hope I'll use it properly. So far I have three reviews (Handmaid's Tale, The Magic Toyshop and Sum) and I have given nothing lower than a C. Oh yes, it's a lot of fun indeed to sit down and write in it all serious-like. But now I want to read something...less depression-inducing. I have begun The Stars' Tennis Balls but considering as it's a retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo...

SO! Friendslist. Do give me your favourite happy-feeling books that won't make me cry afterwards.
