Perfume: Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind (read before we watch the movie - different)
14 books this month. I'm actually working on reading a little less soon, to allow/encourage other hobbies, like crafty things. Goodbye January!
We received the Poisonwood Bible as a gift and I really struggled to get through it. I need quicker books I guess. Did you enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteNot as much as a girl who reviewed it. At parts the different view points were interesting, but as a whole, it was never as deep as I thought it might get. I'll have to think of some "non-scary" quick books!
Deletei saw the movie perfume: the story of murder a couple of years ago and liked it. is the book better (i know stupid question, it always is)? i mean, worth the read? i am inspired by how many books you read. it makes me wanna read a lot more. do you have a kendle? if so, are any of your books lendable?
ReplyDeleteWell, we haven't managed to watch Perfume yet, but my brother loved it! The book moved at a quicker pace, slowed down by descriptions of perfume extracting processes. It's 3rd person, so it's not creepy as it could be either. Overall, it's good, light-ish read? Not necessarily worth it, but not bad!
Deleteand thanks! it's kinda a quirk of mine. I've used my dad's kindle, but don't have one of my own yet! I'm a big user of library books. But if anything changes I'll let you know!
the girl in the window looks a little like Kirksey! :)
