Hi guys! I'm going to jump right in about Stacking The Shelves. It's a book-related meme that is about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves. (Learn about it here: http://www.tyngasreviews.com/2012/05/staking-shelves-official-launch.html). If you know me, you know that I do love my books :)
Here's the books that I've gotten throughout the past two months or so:
After watching the last Hobbit film, I really didn't want to let the series go. I grew up with LOTR and The Hobbit, and seeing the whole series end made me feel as if my childhood had ended together with it :( So to satisfy my Middle Earth cravings, I bought The Hobbit off Amazon. As you do.
A random buy at a bookshop, just because it was the Christmas season. Mini review: It started off really well. As I read further on, some parts felt like it was going nowhere. Towards the end, it got a little questionable. Three stars out of five.
Have yet to see the movie, but am quite excited to read the book. Bought this at a charity shop for a pound. Score!
I remember this as the first book that I bought in the UK. Which happened because I was really attracted to the cover. (Yes, I'm superficial like that, sorry.) I quite like this book. It looks like the usual light chick lit / YA novel, but it actually goes slightly deeper than the superficial. I even felt a bit choked up at one point (which is a rarity). Four out of five, I'd say.
Agatha Christie. Enough said.
I heard a lot of good reviews about this book so when I saw the 3 books for 10-pounds deal on Amazon, it was a no-brainer.
....I just really like Jane Austen okay?
Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan
Similarly like The Night Circus, people seem to rave about Jenny Colgan so I thought I might see what all the fuss is about.

Kind of an impulse buy, but the blurb at the back sounded promising, so.. (Three ladies. One tea room. Need I say more?)
I'm familiar with Adriana's work, and have enjoyed her books thus far. Hopefully this will be another good read!
Another random buy. I needed a dose of action, coupled with a strong heroine.
A fun buy at Oxfam!
With impossible-to-get-wrong recipes.
And dessert-related quotes to boot! :)
Phew, that was a long one. What books have you gotten recently? Let me know so that I can go on the hunt for more!
Oh, and happy new year! (throws imaginary confetti and glitter around)
Take care and till next time,
Cheryl
