Woo hoo! I am so chuffed to be chosen as a World Book Night 2014 book giver. I was a book giver in 2012 with The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak which is one of my all time favourite books. When I saw that Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch was listed I had to apply again, I adore his Peter Grant books and can't wait to share Rivers of London with friends and strangers alike!
To celebrate I thought I would write a series of weekly posts outlining my personal A - Z of books, showcasing authors and books that have influenced me in my *cough* 32 years.
So lets begin with A:
It seems appropriate enough to start with 'Aaronovitch' as my A on this list. A friend at work recommended this to me, once I had finished it I was hooked on the series. A symptom of writing my old 'A Month of Reading' posts on this little blog was that I read books that I thought I should read rather than books I really wanted to read. Rivers of London was one I really wanted to read and from that point onwards I stopped writing the posts and started reading everything I wanted to whether high or low brow.
I hope you'll join me next Tuesday for 'B' on my A-Z of books!
I didn't apply this year, I'm waiting for Birdsong to get on the list! x
