Books: October

I somehow thought that because I'm in England now, I wouldn't be buying as many books, but apparently that was a completely foolish thought. There's a used bookstore here that is utterly amazing. I was literally breathless when I first walked in. It's like a maze of many little rooms, and stairs everywhere and it's a treasure hunt, trying to find as many books for the lowest amount of money. How I'm getting these books home, I'm not quite sure yet, but one thing at a time.

For school, I had to read Alive in Christ and write an essay on it, which was interesting to do. Also, Ender's Game was amazing, with plot twist near the end that made my jaw drop and I definitely yelled for awhile. I'm quite excited to read the sequel for that one. Her Fearful Symmetry had a painful ending as well but it was good, quite a twist. I'm excited to keep reading my new books and I'll try to limit myself on how many I buy, though that may be quite painful.
