Hope you all had a great weekend.
It's the start of a brand new week and I shall start the proceedings by sharing with you some more of my favourite books from the old bookcase. And of course if you haven't read last weeks favourite books then click here.
#3 - THE WOMAN IN BLACK by SUSAN HILL
This is one of my absolute favourite ghost stories. I like to read this one every year around the winter period as I feel the cold atmosphere and the chill winds really lends itself to the overall experience of this brilliant and traditional ghost story. I love the beautiful descriptions of the surrounding countryside and then also the creepy and unnerving feeling during the scenes involving the house and the marshes that surround it. This is a ghost story that will truly frighten you and will stay with you for the rest of your life. The last few pages left me gobsmacked and I couldn't wait to read again straight away. Absolutely LOVED it!
#4 - ALL MY FRIENDS ARE SUPERHEROES by ANDREW KAUFMAN
I think it was the title of this one that grabbed my attention and then when reading the blurb at the back, I thought, why not. I was so glad I did. This book is such a quirky and charming story an just made me smile all the way through it. It's only 108 pages long, but it's 108 pages of pure gold and doesn't need to be any longer. The story follows Tom, who is the only normal character and the rest are all superheroes, but not the regular ones that we all know and love. They are all unique and with crazy abilities including a girl who cries televisions. I don't want to say too much as I think people should enjoy this book and it wont take you long to read. Also if you like this book you should check out another one he wrote call 'The Tiny Wife' which is also another small quirky book.
Well I hope you enjoyed those and if you have read them or are going to read them at any point then please don't hesitate to leave me a comment or tweet me: @Mr_Ian_Canning
See you again tomorrow.
Take Care
:)
