Because I dwell in books and because I keep buying them - I can't go to the library, I get attached to a book, don't want to take it back, I get enormous bills - I'm starting my own "Book Club". These are the books I bought in January.


1. Where Women Create - Jo Packham

If you like large, frilly and pompous rooms than this is your book. I much prefer simplicity and not every square inch of my "work place" to be packed and stuffed to the rim. It's not my book and I was rather disappointed. I think the cover tempted me to buy the book but I was fooled!! I much more enjoy Art Studio over at Flickr.




2. The Relaxed Home - Atlanta Bartlett

Yay! Totally my book!! I never really read books like this because I don't think these books were invented to be read but more to look at the pretty pictures. And pretty and inspiring they are indeed. Beware: don't let yourself be tricked by the cover and the name. I bought my copy in the UK and the cover is the same as The Comforts of Home but the contents is exactly the same. So you can buy either book but don't buy them both!! Really a good resource if you like the modern country style.




3. A Million Little Pieces - James Frey

I first heard about this book on Oprah. This book kept her up for three nights and so did it to a bunch of her producers and Nate!! So I thought to myself "this book must be good". I ordered my copy from Amazon because I always prefer to read a book in it's original language. Well now, hmmmm ... hard to say: I already read all this stuff when I was 11. I know all about the bugs, the user dreams etc. It's like the other day when Oprah said "EAT WHOLE GRAIN" like if it was a revelation!! I've been eating whole grain since I was able to chew!! I'm not going to trust Oprah anymore. I've been reading the book's reviews and all the things people liked about the book I dislike and all the things they hate, I love. For example the poor writing. I think the poor writing is actually genius!! I do recommend this book to those who aren't familiar and who never read a book containing the words Fuck and Fucking more than one time.




4. Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Bought it on iTunes and it is absolutely worth the $69.95 I'm going to buy the next book on iTunes too because I so much better understand all the details this way. I'm not going to say anything about the book for those who haven't read it yet but it made me cry all at the end and I'm also really confused by something that happened all at the end, something to do with Snape.
