It might end up being the first book of the New Year, as there are a few books I want to finish before Christmas, but it WILL be soon!<br /><br />Nice review, by the way :)Hanna @ Booking in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705048655467252248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-41419479910761565822013-12-07T20:25:35.714+00:002013-12-07T20:25:35.714+00:00Yaaaaaaay!

Ahem... Allow me ...ELLIE YOU CAN BE MY GUINEA PIG!<br /><br />Ahem... Allow me to explain. My theory is that, if you've seen the TV show and then you read the book, you'll appreciate the book even though it's less dramatic and whatnot. BUT my other theory is that if you read the book first, when you watch the show you'll be like *GASP* but that never happened! LIES and be mad at the show. I am interested to know whether this holds up at all.<br /><br />ALSO I have that Roald Dahl biography toooooo! It's definitely too big to crack without being mentally prepared for it lolLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-22750711875577455362013-12-06T20:48:08.088+00:002013-12-06T20:48:08.088+00:00I'm a little disappointed there's no chick...I'm a little disappointed there's no chicken in the book.

I haven't seen the series (I KNOW I KNOW NETFLIX) but I HAVE seen this book around a few times and wondered whether to buy it. NEXT TIME I WILL KNOW. Hanna is awesome at picking bookish gifts which is WHY one of ambitions for the workless winter to come is to finally read 11/22/63 and also the biography of Roald Dahl by Donald Sturrock, one a Christmas present, one a birthday present. I've been so looking forward to both but they're big books and I don't want to sully them by reading them here where I keep getting interrupted. THIS IS THEIR TIME.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
