I have never actually read The Never Ending Story but I have fond memories of the film (and also memories of it being the most terrifying thing ever…) and I had never even heard of this other novel by the same author until a friend told me it was one of her all-time favourite books…… Continue reading Book Lust #9 – Momo
The blurb of this book intrigues me. It reminds me a little of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and also The Shock Of The Fall and I enjoyed both of those even though I didn’t expect to. I generally enjoy books that keep you on a knife edge and don’t let…… Continue reading Book Lust #8 – The Boy Who Could See Demons
I have seen a few reviews of this on blogs and websites and I would love to get a copy for Tori and Arthur. The message of sharing and acknowledging the fact that there are children in the world who are perhaps not as lucky as others is one that I feel is important and…… Continue reading Book Lust #7 – The Spirit Of Christmas
I have heard SO MUCH good about this book and yet also know nothing about it. Other than if you tell someone what it is about, you will ruin it. I am totally intrigued and really want to get my hands on it before someone accidentally (or deliberately) ruins it for me. Excuse me whilst…… Continue reading Book Lust #6 – We Were Liars
How could you possibly not want to read this book based on that cover alone? The detail, the simple colours, the creatures of myth and legend all interwoven in a beautiful web? I mostly just want to frame it and put it on the wall. As for the story itself? It sounds right up my…… Continue reading Book Lust #5 – Dreams and Shadows
Another book I have heard many good things about. A challenging but rewarding book about love against the odds in difficult times, I am excited to read this book having managed to borrow a copy. There are three covers that I know about, too – and they are all very clever and eyecatching. I think…… Continue reading Book Lust #4 – Lies We Tell Ourselves
I have been lusting after this one for quite some time. I fell in love with the cover on sight – it’s just so beautiful and simple. It’s not often that I get ballet-related lust but I really, really want to get my hands on a copy of this book. (Hi Santa, if you’re listening!)…… Continue reading Book Lust #3 – Pointe
I have heard so many good things about this book both from friends and the internet in general. And just look at that pretty cover – why would you not want to pick it up? It sounds like a simple, fun, feel-good story that can spirit you away from the real world for a while…… Continue reading Book Lust #2 – The Geography Of You And Me
I felt that as it is All Hallows’ Eve I should pick an appropriately creepy book from my list of ‘I want’s today and this one is both creepy sounding and high up on my Lust List. I haven’t read a Christopher Golden book in years but I adored the ones I did read and…… Continue reading Book Lust #1 – Snow Blind
