January Book Haul

Hello wonderful people!

So... I was a little naughty lost month.... I bought 11 books *gasp*
I know... It was really bad of me, but hey ho, on with life.
So I thought I would show you what I bought
Here we go! 


So these are the eleven books I bought: The Divergent Trilogy, The Inheritance Cycle Series, The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole 13 3/4, Of Mice of Men and The Sherlock Holmes Handbook.


The No.1 Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Adrian Mole 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend.

Admittedly, I have not had time to read the first book so I can not comment on that; but I have read the other two before. We read Of Mice and Men recently in English and I enjoyed it so much I just bought a copy, I know what you're thinking... That was really bad of me, but this is the first time I've ever liked a classic! I read Adrian Mole when I was eleven and haven't read any of the series since (really funny by the way, because Adrian is a douchebag who you want to punch), so I'm looking forward to possibly starting that up again. 


The Sherlock Holmes Handbook by Ransom Riggs (hardcover - and what a cool name guys)

I've flicked through the pages of this is Waterstones in the clearance section and and... *sigh* fangirled in front of everyone there, this is honestly the coolest book though. It tells you how to: fight like Holmes, analyse finger prints, deduce who Moriarty is and fake your own death. I recommend that all sherlockians buy and read this, you can find it here.


The Inheritance Cycle Series by Christopher Paolini (all are paperback apart from Inheritance)

I have been wanting to read this series for a long time, and finally find a hardcover Inheritance in the clearance section of Waterstones, I immediately picked it up for £8 (can you believe that???!!!) I got the rest of the series online, unfortunately in paperback so they don't match. I really can't wait to read this series, but it may take me a while to get around to it. 


 The Divergent Trilogy and The World of Divergent Booklet (all hardback apart from the booklet)

So this is something I've been dying to buy since I bought the first two books on my Kindle Fire, and had a nice little surprise when it was delivered and found that it had an exclusive booklet in it to (which has quizzes about what sector you would be in and other cool stuff). I'm really pleased with these because they're so pretty (mum voice: don't judge a book by it's cover!), and you can read my review on Allegiant here.

Well, that's all I got really, and I can't wait to read and review them! Bye bye for now!
