This is my #isthisreal post... @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks you are an absolutely wonderful, kind person. I can't thank you enough for sending me a lovely birthday package. I've been wanting to read both of these since hearing such great things about them. And the donut bookmarks!! 😂😂 They're perfect. The card is lovely. You shouldn't have, but I am extremely grateful you did 🤗😘❤

robinb So sweet ❤️ 8y

The Angel's Game | Carlos Ruiz Zafon
post image

This follow-up to Shadow of the Wind will have you wondering: #IsThisReal? It once again returns to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books but is also very different. I love Carlos Ruiz Zafon‘s lyrical writing, and I always get swept up in his stories. Plus, check out this detailed and layered cover on the paperback edition. #MagicalMarch @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ll have to check this one out!! Thank you for posting!! 💕📚 8y

The Godfather | Mario Puzo
post image

I‘ve been listening to the audiobook of The Godfather whenever I‘ve been out walking. I know it‘s partly based on real people but I wonder if that is what the mafia was actually like? My feelings are mixed, I hate the way women are treated in the book but I guess that‘s partly due to it being written in the 60s. I‘m still finding it quite a compelling read though! If you‘ve read it I‘d be fascinated to know your thoughts!

Settings If your less than half of the way through the book, prepare yourself, the treatment of women gets much worse. 8y
Settings *you're :'( 8y
Christine11 @anoplph0ra I‘m about 2/3 of the way through - you‘re right, it is definitely getting worse. It‘s just shocking to me how ok they all seem to be with horrific domestic violence 🙁 8y

vkois88 I've never read (or seen) this... I feel like it would be too much!! 8y
Christine11 @vkois88 I‘m ok with reading it but I think I‘m too squeamish to watch it! 😬 8y
DeborahSmall Love this book. Movie is fantastic 8y
Christine11 @DeborahSmall I might need to try and watch the movie once I‘ve finished the book - don‘t know if I‘ll find it too violent to watch, but I‘m interested to see how similar it is to the book! 😊💕 8y

batsy That cover 😆 🍽️ 8y
JamieArc Those illustrations look like they are done by the same illustrator who did the Ronald Dahl books. In that case, something about it makes sense to me 😆 8y
readordierachel Someone needs a book to tell them that? 😂 8y
