Bookworming: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Hello there! I'm still catching up with reviews of my book haul last November, so I'm making this short and sweet.

After Eleanor & Park and Attachments, I went straight to Fangirl. It's Rainbow Rowell's most recent book, and it proved to be a quick read. Like her first two books, I couldn't put this one down. I just felt like I wanted to know what happens next and I didn't have the willpower to wait.

Bookworming: Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

I got into a big Rainbow Rowell phase last year after I read Eleanor & Park. I loved the book so much, I needed to check out her other books immediately. I wanted to see if they had the same kind of young and fresh but with an edge stories as that of Eleanor & Park.

Well, I wasn't disappointed. I got Attachments and Fangirl, and they were just as addictive. I read both really fast. I wanted to know what happened in the stories that bad. The books were actually part of my book haul last November, but I got caught up reading other books since then and haven't been able to make a lot of book posts. Yep, that's me -- always catching up! 

Let's start with Attachments. Unlike Eleanor & Park, this book isn't YA (young adult). It's like chick lit actually, since it involves a love story and will make you giggle a lot. The story is about Beth and Jennifer, who work at a newspaper office and have a tendency to email each other frequently on the job, and Lincoln, their colleague, who  keeps track of their correspondence.

Bookworming: Book Haul 112313

I went to High Street last Saturday thinking of clothes and makeup, but I ended up with a ton of books instead. I stepped inside Fully Booked and just lost it. The hubby says I had this giddy smile the entire night afterwards, heh. Besides, books simply last longer. Makeup and clothes are pretty much temporary things, while books stay around for years and years -- almost forever, actually. Here's my eclectic haul.

The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories 3 by hitRecord and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I saw this last and had to get it! I have the first Tiny Book and loved it, so this was a must-buy for me. I can't for the life of me find the second book here though! I will have to keep looking. These books are completely adorable but they also get you thinking. 

Attachments and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

After reading Eleanor & Park, I had to follow it up with Rainbow Rowell's other books. Attachments was published before Eleanor & Park, while Fangirl just came out and is the author's latest book. I can't wait to start reading these!

Classic Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen

This is a beautiful book of classic fairy tales. The stories are the realistic ones that are far from the Disney versions, and they don't always have happy endings. I have always wanted a copy. 

It'll be a while before I get through these books, but I'll be posting reviews as I finish each one. I've already started with the fairy tales, and so far it has been such a nostalgic treat! I'm such a happy bookworm right now. 

Bookworming: Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

From my Instagram a month ago: Starting the week with Eleanor & Park and green mint tea

It's about time I got books on here, so I decided to start with Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I learned that John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars, reviewed it, so I picked it up at FullyBooked. This isn't going to be a full-on review though because it's obvious that I love it -- it's on this site's masthead and I've been tweeting and instagram-ing about it after all. I even posted about it on Tumblr and it got so many likes and reblogs. Crazy. Since I don't like reviews with spoilers, here's a brief, kind of stream of consciousness, casual explanation of why I adore it so much.
