Hello all,
Tomorrow I am going to Hong Kong for two weeks with some friends. I will be posting about my journey on here so check it out!
Also, an Amsterdam blog should be posted within this month... I've been lazy :P.
Stay tuned,

Book haul
I was a little bit naughty and bought a few books...
-The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin
I fancied a funny novel and spotted this is Foyles.
-How to Be Both by Ali Smith
Voted number one in Foyles so I though I'd give it a go.
-The Fade Out by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips
I really fancied reading a comic and this was recommend to me, please give me more comic recommendations!
-Far from the Maddening Crowd by Thomas Hardy
I want to read it before the movie comes out... love a bit of Hardy's description.
-Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
I thought this was a good Hoover novel to start with but I had to buy it from the book depository, I could't find it anywhere else.
-The Versions of Us by Laura Barnett
Top seller in Waterstones and I thought it looked like a holiday read :)
Happy reading,
Sofiee

Recent Reads
Here's what I've been reading last week:
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
This is a really easy and nice read. About a girl 'Cather' moving to college and her struggles, a little bit of a becoming of age novel. I loved Levi's character and I thought the fan fiction aspect was a great way to break up the chapters. However, I would have like to have more character building for Nick so he could be perceived as a true villain. Also, I feel that the could be a sequel [SPOILER] where we see Levi and Cather's relationship develop?
I, Robot by Issac Asimov
Although the movie I, Robot is based on this novel the two are nothing a like. I liked the concept of the robot rules and how they can be interpreted. There are similar concepts within Do Androids dream of electric sheep? I thought some of the chapters/ mini stories were a bit boring and I didn't really understand Powell and his co worker's characters. But as a whole this is an interesting book and if you love sci-fi read it.
I'll have more reviews next week,
