Bookworm Week: Sunday
BOOKS I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ROUND TO READING
(BUT HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO)
The Bridget Jones's Diary Series- Helen Fielding
The Great Gatsby- F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Perks of Being a Wallflower- Stephen Chbosky
I have a little stash of books on my shelf that have never been read, I'm not even fully sure whether they have ever been opened. It's really quite sad that these little gems haven't been read yet. Gosh I feel guilty. Even though I really want to read each of these I've just never quite gotten round to it.
The first 3 are the books in the Bridget Jones series. You can only see them as two physical books in the image but that's because the blue book on the right contains both 'Bridget Jones' Diary' and 'The Edge of Reason'. I am an enormous fan of the films! There's nothing that I love more than a cosy night, with candles, hot chocolate and Bridget. And after I read a section of the first book in an English lesson I knew that I wanted to read the books. I was lucky to receive them all for my birthday last year but have not picked them up yet. Sad times.
Another one where I saw the film first. My boyfriend took me to see 'The Great Gatsby' as our first date when it came out last year. He then bought me the book and the film on DVD for our first Christmas together. Yay! I love the story of Gatsby and even though it is such an iconic novel I had honestly never heard of it before the film came out. I really want to read this book and I did start it on a train to Reading once but have not gotten past maybe the first two chapters. I definitely need to pick this one up again.
The last one, 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. The good news: I haven't seen the film! Not only that but I haven't got a clue what this book is even about. I couldn't tell you if you asked me to. My gorgeous friend Kate lent me this book (I am terrible at giving things back, do not lend me anything) and it's just been sat on my shelf untouched. Is this a good book? I think I need to find out.
