When in doubt, listen to David Bowie. (New tattoo idea, thanks to Caitlin Moran.) #bowielove

Wine, bubbles and a book. Solid night.

Left a pile of books on the bed, so the fiance tucked them in. I always had books in my bed, rather than stuffed animals!

I don't like Steve Jobs or Apple, so either this book will change my mind or make me furious. Diving in to see! (Will never convince me to buy an iPhone or Mac though - not paying that much money for a super un-user-friendly, for me, system.)

Worth a read, particularly for the die hard fans. I didn't hate the film either, despite the addition of Johnny Depp I really hate. (Let's not empower perpetrators of abuse.) But also, can we just discuss how absolutely gorgeous this cover is? Perfect addition to my sprawling Harry Potter collection and matches my Hogwarts Library set of the textbooks!

Cawdor is a little village surrounded by forest and farmland in the north of Scotland, and Shakespeare had set Macbeth there without bothering to research the fact that the real Macbeths never set foot in the place because they died 300 years or so before Cawdor Castle was even built. (This lack of attention to detail is more grist...to my theory that Shakespeare, if he were alive today, would be writing for TV. Somewhere classy, though.)

Definitely not my usual fare, and my first Hiaasen. I liked the voices that came through - gritty and salty. It definitely felt very Florida. Also felt a little Palahniuk at times but in its own way. Not a reread but decent!

Beautifully written, a beautiful story. I adored this novel. I loved Zevin's YA title Elsewhere, and while I hear that same voice here, it has matured a little and crafted a romantic, nostalgic, wonderful story. Bookstores are close to my heart but even if I hadn't worked at one, I know I would enjoy this.

One of my last ARCs from my time working at Chapters. Fascinating read, somewhat In Cold Blood like, but a good mesh of fact and fiction. (Of course, this isn't an actual recognizable case in our world, but fact in the book's world.)
