Finished Alice and the Fly, a debut from James Rice about schizophrenia and the detremental effects of it not being recognised as a health issue!
Brilliant book that raises a lot of awareness :)

Started on Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith and partly made a start on my several review copies ive been sent! The first being Enchantment Lake!
Shadowhunters: Looking better in black than the widows of our enemies since 1234.

I thought this was interesting marketing for James Patterson's latest book. http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/21/78668 ... estructing.

I recently finished 'Born to Run' by Christopher McDougall. One of the best books I've read in a while and you don't need to be into running to enjoy it!

Will probably start running again because of the stories in it. A+

I have read Golden Son (sequel to Red Rising NY Times Best Seller) by Pierce Brown. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard(not out till next week) and I'm just finishing Arsenic for Tea by Robin Stevens(sequel to a murder most unladylike).
Got almost too much on my to read list but i feel like Im catching up with the lack of shifts at work!
In the coming weeks I plan to read Geek Girl(Holly smale is coming to our store), Talon(a story about dragons in modern times) by Julie Kagawa, and Warm Bodies which I snapped up from a charity shop to tie in nicely with the return of the Walking Dead!
Shadowhunters: Looking better in black than the widows of our enemies since 1234.

surprised by the amount of stuff that's free in pdf form, just got the Divergent set + extras (no download links just straight pdf). Now I'm not a fan of the Roth series, and am finding her writing a bit sparsely simplistic and tweenie tbh but for free I'm not quibbling, something to flick through before I see Insurgent in IMAX (nope I'm not p*ying).

For those who aren't internet shy theres some hard work been put into the films websites too.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Reading Linwood Barclay at the moment, hoping to have time to re-read Room before it comes out at the cinema!
