I just read The Great Gatsby in preparation for the movie which I am so excited for. Before that, I read The Host (also because the movie was coming out and I wanted to read it first) and I really, really loved it. Don't let the fact that it's by Stephenie Meyer deter you...it's actually really good.
I recently bough a book from a thrift shop for 50p. Here is what it's about;
Quote:
The local ladies all deem Mr John a wizard, so when Agatha finds a few grey hairs on her head - and the rinse she tries at home turns her hair purple - she makes a beeline for the handsome Evesham hairdresser. And as well as sorting out her hair it soon becomes clear the charming man also has designs on her heart - but their future together is cut short when Mr John is fatally poisoned in his salon. Once again Agatha finds herself embroiled in a murder case. Was it one of Mr John's many customers, all of whom divulged to him their darkest secrets? Praise for the "Agatha Raisin" series: 'M.C. Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' - "Publishers Weekly". 'The detective novels of M.C. Beaton, a master of outrageous black comedy, have reached cult status' - "The Times". 'Being a cranky, middle-aged female myself, I found Agatha charming' - Amazon customer review. 'Agatha Raisin is sharp, witty, hugely intelligent, unfailingly entertaining, delightfully intolerant and oh so magnificently non PC. M C Beaton has created a new national treasure...the stories zing along and are irresistible, unputdownable, a joy. If you buy one book a year, let it be this. Agatha Raisin is The Strongest Link' - Anne Robinson.
I'm going to the bookstore and but I can only get 2 books and I'm torn to whether I should get: The Maze Runner, Shadow & Bone, Divergent or The Host??
at least the translation I have is like pulling teeth out.
Lord help me.
