A seasonal weekly meme hosted by Danya @ A Tapestry of Words.
Every week until Xmas, bloggers are invited to share a book on their wish list.
I lost track of when this meme takes place, so sorry for missing it last week. To make up for it, I'll post two books on my Xmas wish list :)
84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
I love books with characters who read and, even better, books about the love of reading. I've heard all good things about this and I thought the movie with Anne Bancroft (love all her work, RIP) and Anthony Hopkins was a sweet little gem.
A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving
I was captivated by The World According to Garp, so anything by Irving appeals to me now! Many people claim this to be a favourite book of theirs, so it's worth at least a look-see :)
If you've read either of these, what do you think? What books are on your Xmas wish list?
I really want to read 84 Charing Cross Road too!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! I love both of those books. I'm lusting after a long list of books, but Kafka on the Shore is near the top.
ReplyDeleteI have just finished 84 Charing Cross Road and reviewed it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteDo hope u find this one in your stocking this Christmas. It is a wonderful read.

84 Charing Cross Road sounds like a winner! Hope you get it! Here's mine: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2010/11/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-5.html
ReplyDeleteI read 84 Charing Cross Road several years ago, so my memory is kind of fuzzy on the details, but I seem to recall it was an enjoyable read!
ReplyDeleteIn case you were wondering, I post my pick every Thursday, but you are welcome to link up at any point during the week with your own :D The post is up on my blog if you'd like to stop by and link up for this week!
Sam, Bev & Dizzy C~ Here's hoping :)
ReplyDeleteAvid Reader~ Thanks, I'm hoping I like them both, too. I've heard of Kafka on the Shore...I should look into reading that one.
Danya~ Thanks for the reminder :)
