The Hop


Hello Hoppers!

It's been a busy week at Learning to Read (after a fairly chilled summer), and it's going to get busier: here's my list of books to read.

And here's what I've read this past month:

Twelve Bar Blues is a novel about jazz, hookers and stories.
Aberystwyth Mon Amour is a crime noir set in Wales.
Power, Sex, Suicide is the amazing story of the mitochondria in our cells.
Cloud Atlas is an incredible, impressive and entertaining story that spans a millenia.

And my personal recommendation of the week... Mark Watson's Eleven, a story about the spiralling consequences of all our actions. It's a great book.

    Hello. Your 'explain yourself' blurb made me laugh. Best of luck in becomming a writer thing :)

    Stopping in from the hop. Just read your review of "Three Men In A Boat". I started reading it yesterday and it's funnier than I expected it to be, which is always a good thing. I like your blog.
