Perfume is on my top 10 list of all time favorites. Really remarkable! Looking forward to reading what you think about all of them!

Now that I know it has something with murder, I'm still intrigued, but not in the same way. <br /><br />I have Let The Great World Spin too; am anxious to read it after all the great reviews I've read about it. <br /><br />You made quite a good catch, all those lovely novels for such a good price!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-22765546458240212272010-06-20T14:45:07.763+01:002010-06-20T14:45:07.763+01:00Only one of those I've read is the reader and ...Only one of those I've read is the reader and it was a fantastic book.

I mean if you were going to give the book away anyway why do it?<br /><br />Ben - thanks for that, there is a works nearby but Ive never gone in there. <br /><br />Shan & Becky - Im looking forward to reading it as I have wanted to watch the film for ages now. Its not a very thick book which surprised me.<br /><br />Bethany - sometimes its pot luck with 2nd hand book stores. Some ones Ive gone into just seem to sell Maeve Binchy and Jilly Cooper.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861424110678889637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694427406934260419.post-41077420329138883682010-06-20T12:43:06.310+01:002010-06-20T12:43:06.310+01:00What a great lot of books.

There are loads near me, and I should really take advantage of it. Maybe I'll give it a go!<br /><br />I'm interested to see what you think about Perfume. I was intrigued by the story too, but if the book is close to the film (and I mean the ending in particular) then I really don't want to read it. The film put me off picking up the book!
