Greeting all! I hope Christmas and the New Year have treated you well. So far 2016 for me has been my birthday, and then five days of being ill (today is day five...). So not the best start in the world. But, I am happy to start a new year and excited for what is to come. Christmas and New Year were lovely, and I was very pleased to receive a few books. I used to get loads for Christmas and my birthday, but now I actually don't ask for many (as I have so many already!!) so luckily I now only get a few. So here they are:
Suffice to say I am QUITE PLEASED. Witchfinders, The Blind Assassin, and the Witchfinder and Hellboy books were all on my wishlist, so I half expected those. The Silk Road was from my boyfriend's mum, always a fan of lovely new hardbacks, and I can't wait to get stuck in - though I think I'll only be able to read that one at home as it is so massive I don't want to carry it around anywhere! Eat Pretty was from my cousin and looks like a great way to get started with a healthier diet (plus there are recipes for DIY beauty products, which look great). My sister bought me The Book of Strange New Things, which I've heard good things about, and I think is her way of trying to get me to read more sci-fi, which she loves. I've chosen it as my next read.
I've also just finished reading Witchfinders, which I will write about soon.
Which books are you starting 2016 with?
