"'True,' Marieke said, nodding absently. 'But to be honest, I'm far more curious to find out how these other two paintings ended up here.'
Marieke reached out and pointed toward a pair of paintings that were hanging off in the corner on the opposite of the fireplace.
'What do you mean?' Vega asked, turning her head to look at what she was gesturing to.
'Well, in light of the fact that this Van Gogh over here is almost surely authentic,' Marieke replied, 'then I can only assume that the Monet and Pissaro hanging right over there are authentic as well.'"

A Pound of Flesh - Sophie Jackson

I know I usually post about the books I am currently reading. However, I have just read an article in a local paper about A Pound of Flesh by Sophie Jackson and I really like the sound of it!

As some of you may have seen on my Facebook and Twitter accounts for this blog I have quite a collection of books on my bookshelf to read through, but this book has really caught my eye! At only £8.99 I am considering buying it and adding it to my review list.

The Lovely Bones...Maybe not for me

Title: The Lovely Bones

Author: Alice Sebold

ISBN: 978-0-330-45772-9

Rating: 7/10

Genre: Fantasy, Drama

"These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it. The events that my death wrought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous body had been my life." 

I started to read this book in April. I had been looking forward to reading this book for a long time as I had heard great things about both the book and the film. I had not seen the film and a number of my friends have read the book. I have had this book on my shelf for a number of years and I had high hopes for it.

Sorry for the delay! Coming soon!

Hey everyone!

I know it was my intention to post a review a month, however, I have been unable to post anything this past month due to work commitments. I am still working on the Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold and I will be finishing it in the coming weeks once my work load has lightened.

I can now finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for my time in education. I have been working towards achieving my goal of becoming a primary school teacher for the last 5 years and in the next 3 weeks that goal will be achieved! I can not wait to finally celebrate achieving the most rewarding thing in my life so far! I am sure you can all understand the demands a job can have and the impact this can have on hobbies or interests. I am very much looking forward to spending my summer reading and catching up on the years worth of exercise I have missed out on.
