top ten books for 1/2011

 well as you may know i am prone in bed due to back spasms so thought while i can't sew or take photographs etc that i would give you my Top Ten Book List for this month :P

these are not in any order but just as i think of them lol......and to me a good book is something i could read & reread again and again over years
SO that means only books that i could read atleast twice will ever make it to my top ten list!!

1...the time travellers wife - OMG this is an awesome book!!  & def IS my number one pick!!
i haven't seen the movie & will NOT see the movie {nothing against the hunky Eric Bana] just that i will continue to reread this book over the years and i prefer the images in my head to anything a film can come up with...well i would see it if it was a European Film or indeed a British one :P

2....The Host - this is Stephanie Myers first book ....before The Twillight series - & i LOVED it very much  & have read it twice.

3....Enid Blyton books - particularily the Faraway Tree series as i have been rereading them every year since i was a kid :P

4..... The Wheel of Time series .....,.... many many books in this series {which is awesome as i do most love books that i can invest quite abit of time & interest in}
Sadly Robert Jordan has passed so no more interesting books from him {also the last book in the series was written by another author who was a massive fan of the series}

5.....books by Bernard Cornwell - historical based & can be set onboard Pirate ships thru to the latest on King Arthur or Alfred the Great.....i have read all in the Nathan Sharpe series set in the early 1800's & am now reading the Saxon Tales {alfred the great}

6.....Sookie Stackhouse set by Charlaine Harris - a funny light read & some may now of the tv show First Blood {i have seen an episode but did find the acting horrid!!} these books are a great read on a weekend when u want to stay in bed and read all day :D

7........ the Harry Potter set - i have read them all and reread a few already {once again was not into the films and only sat thru the first half they made}

8.....,..the Remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro - this is a beautiful & sad read but also a BRILLIANT movie!!! [yes they can apparantly turn books into good movies!!!}


9...Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh......gritty but excellent & written phonetically {in scottish accent} which is hard going at times but well worth it!!

10.....Wire in the Blood - anything by Val McDermid that is about Tony Hill {have read some of her other books not on Tony Hill & to be honest i just didn't like them}

feel free to add any that you have liked and i will do a book list every month as i am always reading something interesting & do love to read each and every day :D
