I’m not quite sure whether I should be listing books I’ve saved on my book subscription apps this week! Best not, or I’d overwhelm my blog with book covers. But thank you to Blloon for sending me 1,000 free pages to trial the app (to get me more, if you’re in the UK, do consider signing up here! I’ll be reviewing the service soon), and Scribd for the free month. It’s been a quiet week, since I couldn’t really go to the library; I injured my foot last week, and getting to the library on crutches is just a bit too much faff.
So it’s just the two books I got myself to celebrate finishing my fourth OU textbook! Oh, and the book my sister got me.
Apparently ’tis the week of SF in translation? Anyway, I’ve been meaning to try The Three-Body Problem, and I enjoyed Andreas Eschbach’s The Carpet Makers, so when I saw these both for under £2, it seemed an obvious choice… My sister got me Angela Carter’s Book of Fairy Tales, which is the next pick for the Cardiff SFF Bookclub. <3
What’s everyone else been getting? Still behaving yourselves?
I’ve given up behaving myself! I’ve been grumpy and feeling sorry for myself all month so I’ve just kept buying and I don’t care! *stamps foot and pouts* I’ll tackle the tbr again when I get some decent sleep! Or when I can be bothered…! Enjoy your books!
Oh no! You can totally get back on the wagon…
I’ve been curious about The Three Body-Problem, but reviews have been mixed, and what seems to be the weakest aspect is precisely what I look for first in a book.
I probably wouldn’t pick it up at full price, but it was on sale, so I’m gonna give it a try!
The Three-Body Problem! I hope that’s good.
I picked up the latest WicDiv and Gotham Academy and I finally got a hold of Bitter Greens.
Meee too.
I need to get round to Bitter Greens, gah.
I’ve heard lots of great things about The Three Body Problem. I’m unsure that the style and story of it is for me though, but maybe I should reconsider.
I’m gonna give it a try because it was discounted on Kindle!
Great haul! I’ve not heard of any of these but The Three Body Problem sounds really interesting. I may have to pick up a copy of it!

Hope you enjoy it if you do!
