it's me and my kittens

(excerpt from "Mr. Darcy's Diary" by Amanda Grange)

[diaryoftruequotes]

If we all spoke the truth there would be a great deal of unhappiness in the world, and particularly at such a time. Some things are better left unsaid.

Amanda Grange

Of all the evenings it is possible to spend, a companionable evening with friends is the best.

Amanda Grange

[diaryoftruequotes]

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.

Y'all, so we went back to work today at the library and while I was sorting through our book sale room I found a precious gem; Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grange. As in, Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I've been reading it since I got off work. It's good so far.

Book of the Week

Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange

“A married man in possession of a dark fortune must be in want of an eternal wife...

My hand is trembling as I write this letter. My nerves are in tatters and I am so altered that I believe you would not recognize me. The past two months have been a nightmarish whirl of strange and disturbing circumstances, and the future... I am afraid. If anything happens to me, remember that I love you and that my spirit will always be with you, though we may never see each other again. The world is a cold and frightening place where nothing is as it seems.”

Min fantastiska väninna (original titel: L'amica geniale) - Elena Ferrante

Mr. Darcy’s Diary - Amanda Grange

Eligible - Curtis Sittenfeld

Alex, approximately - Jenn Bennett

Call me by your name - André Aciman

Such a beautiful beautiful book. I didn’t know I would come to like it as much as I do. I found myself in the middle of the book, wondering how it all had started, completely consumed by the story. Reading it made me nostalgic, as if thinking back at fond memories of my youth.

Rosemary's Baby - Ira Levin

The Sudden Appearance of Hope - Claire North

The Hating Game - Sally Thorne

This book marks the beginning of my exploration into chic-lit and romance literature. Having reread this book several times this year has made me understand that there is more to the genre than I first thought.

Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell

Love, Simon - Becky Albertalli

Inte för nära (original titel: Close enough to Touch) - Colleen Oakley

After a couple of pages into the book, I knew I would come to love it, and from then on I was completely consumed by it. Following the protagonist struggles and needs in life made her very relatable and kept me wanting to know more about her. And you couldn’t imagine a better ending.

Mitt inte så perfekta liv (original titel: My not so Perfect Life) - Sophie Kinsella

A Secret Garden - Katie Fforde

Torka aldrig tårar utan handskar (eng. titel: Don't ever Whipe Tears without Gloves) 1. Kärleken - Jonas Gardell

Citizen Girl - Nicola Kraus & Emma McLaughlin

Attachments - Rainbow Rowell

This book grew on me the more I read it. At first I really didn't like the protagonist, him being very passive. But as the story progressed and him getting out if his shell, I became very fond of the story and it's characters.

The Kiss Quotient - Helen Hoang

Everything, everything - Nicola Yoon

Torka aldrig tårar utan handskar (eng. titel: Don't ever Whipe Tears without Gloves) 2. Sjukdomen - Jonas Gardell

Störst av allt (eng. titel: Quicksand) - Malin Persson Giolito

The little prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Ready player one - Ernest Cline

I enjoyed this book from start to finish and kept wondering why I so rarely pick up more action driven books. The combination of sci-fi and the unapologetic level of nerdiness made the book both honest and true.

Armada - Ernest Cline

Josh and Hazel's guide to not dating - Christina Lauren

Turtles all the way down - John Green

Love and other words - Christina Lauren

This must be my favorite book by Christina Lauren so far. The feeling of the book remainded me of David Nicholls One day, making it into an instant classic. Definitely a reread.

Och varje morgon blir vägen längre och längre (eng titel: And every morning the road home gets longer and longer) - Fredrik Backman

Me before you - Jojo Moyes

After you - Jojo Moyes

Still me - Jojo Moyes

Bränn alla mina brev (eng. titel: Burn all my letters) - Alex Schulman

As Alex Schulman is one of my favorite authors, this was an obvious read this year, and he didn't disappoint. The language is beautiful yet simple, making it an very intimate read. My favorite by Schulman so far.

Roomies - Christina Lauren

My favorite half-night stand - Christina Lauren

The Accidental Beauty Queen - Teri Wilson

Always the Bridesmaid - Lindsey Kelk

Accidental Tryst - Natasha Boyd
