I love books

During the holiday, I’m using these few moments of peace and quite, that is to say that I haven’t a lots of time ‘cause I need to prepare my mid year exam, to advance my English’s level. 

So last week, I was walking with a friend then we passed head-on of a second hand good sale (I believe that the English word for a “vide grenier” but I’m not pretty sure and I can’t find it in my dictionary), so we decided to visit it. I especially focus of one stall, a book’s stall. It was amazing, actually I bought twenty four books for only 5,90 euros, and only classics, I’m very proud by one of my finds, the very two volumes of “les miserables” in a very old edition. 

But nevermind, I also bought English’s book, when I was younger I red “Animal farm” writing by George Orwell (one of my favorite writer), and it was very helpful so I decide to renew the experience, but I wouldn’t choose another classic because I red also “Oliver Twist” by Dickens but it was so hard that I didn’t understood the matter of the story. 

There was a very little choice so I bought it all : “Blood Brothers” by Josephine Cox, “Things I want my Daughters to Know” by Elizabeth Noble, “Double Cross” by James Patterson, “What the night knows” by Dean Koontz and finally “The secret life of a slummy Mummy” by Fiona Neill. I started with it, because the title was funny. And, again, it was good experience in my opinion, I learn a lot of new vocabulary and grammar point with this book, and even if it’s not a very good book, it’s was amusing, so I decide to follow this way and I will read all the others book during my free time.

I put the summary for those who can be interest:

“Barbara must say a final farewell to her four daughters. But how canshe finds the words? And how can she leave them when they each have so much growing up still to do ?

Take Lisa, in her thirties but terrified of commitment – or brittle, unhappy married Jenifer. Amanda, the traveler, is always a little apart from her sisters and teenage Hannah faces adult life without a mother at her side.

Barbara’s answer is to write each daughter a letter, finally expressing the hopes, fears, dreams, and secrets she couldn’t always voice. These words will touch the girls in different- sometimes shoking – ways, unlocking emotions and passions to set them on their own journey of discovery through life”.

Hope you enjoy it. :-)
