However, my daughters like those books from the "Geronimo Stilton" series, and my son likes "Big Nate" books.
And with Christmas approaching, and all the Black Friday deals going on, now is a good time to make purchases.

But the two most recent ones:
Dan Simmons - The Hyperion Omnibus (I have this book in Dutch and decided to get it in the original language since I really liked it)
Deborah Hartness - All Souls #1 - The Discovery of Witches (my brother's girlfriend recommended this to me, it was either pay more to ship the other things, or get this book and free shipping for in total lesser money so XD).

"House of Joy "by Sarah-Kate Lynch, it looks like a fun read.
"A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry, highly recommended by Carrrie, I have peeked in here and there and it looks very promising, plus the first line has captured me.
"The Fairies' Midwife" by Australian author Lawrie Ryan, it is my latest reading, and most enjoyable
"London Belongs to Me" by Norman Collins, this will be a reread, very special
"The Choir" By Joanna Trollope.
"Consider Her Way and Others" by John Wyndham, a collection of short stories, I have a thing about short stories, I am always buying them, most of them are still waiting to be read
All of the above are preloved and purchased from op shops.
