So-Called Resolutions.

Since rolling over to 2012 I've managed to stack up 2 sessions of Amazon shopping. Main purchases were for my demanding English course and the rest, well, were pure bargains I just couldn't help myself. Since starting uni nearly 3 years ago I've barely dedicated any time to reading for my own pleasure, aka something not on my course. The last book I'd slugged through out of choice was Atonement by Ian McEwan, a big mistake and regrettably did NOT make a enjoyable summer holiday read.

This year I'm going to try and committ myself to read a book I like. I may call this my new years 'resolution', but at the same time I shouldn't think of this as a chore becuase chores are meant to be unpleasant and done unwillingly, it will help calm my nerves by drifting into the thrilling fantasies of Larsson's triliogy.

I've accumulated a haul of books to get through in the next couple of months. I've managed to snag Stieg Larsson's Millenium triology for the price of one shelf price, two of which only costed me 1p...1 penny for a book, I couldn't believe it! Even with the £2.80 p&p its still pretty awesome. I've heard so many positive reviews and praise about The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, so it's about time I jump on the band wagon. Altough I do have a tendancy of leaving the last edition of a series, i.e. I still haven't got round to reading Breaking Dawn and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I've already refused to watch the film until I've read them.

Another descent pick-me-up at the moment are magazine deals. I've realised that more regularly Cosmo offer twin packs usually with Company magazine. It's nice to see different publications merging together to form 'super' packs, I picked up this mammoth pack from WhSmiths in London Victoria which contained Elle, Cosmopolitan and company for £6.99 saving £1.30.
