Christmas Books

                             

Over the Christmas period, I was lucky enough to receive some lovely books from my friends and family - and I treated myself too.

My friend Ruby bought my Bad Feminist by Roxanne Gay which I was very excited to open - I've read the first essay in this book and I really enjoyed it. I have this on my table in my room, as I feel like it's the kind of book I can dip in and out of which I love and I can't wait to read some more of it.

My brother bought me Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham, Gone Girl and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, and Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher. I'm about halfway through Billy and Me, which I am absolutely loving and I can't wait to read Not That Kind of Girl.

I received The War of Art by Steven Pressfield from my friend Josh which looks super interesting and is definitely going to come in handy when writer's block rears it's ugly head.

I bought myself I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb. I've had a little flick through this and it looks so interesting. I think Malala is an absolute inspiration and I'm going to read this properly when I have the time to sit down somewhere quiet so I can thoroughly enjoy it. 

Lastly, 2 weeks before Christmas I took my second trip to The Warner Bros. Studio Tour and picked up Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages by J.K. Rowling as I have all the Harry Potter books and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. 

Did you get any books for Christmas?

Anything unexpected? Let me know!
