Top Ten Tuesday - Ten books I've bought right this second

-
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly link-up/meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish  where they provide a prompt and other lovers of list-making (me! me! me!) join in with their own top ten list. Feel free to have less than 10 or more if you need to at times and put a spin on the topic if you need to. Just please link back to The Broke and the Bookish  if you are participating. Link up with your BLOG POST (not your blog) in the linky provided and remember to pay it forward! 


Today's Top Ten Tuesday's theme is: Ten books you'd buy right this second if someone handed you a fully loaded Gift Card. 

 Need to take a deep breath here. That sentence is way to long to utter in one breath. Especially when talking about books - which as you know, tends to leave us breathless to start with. So I just shortened it to my own preference:
Ten books I've just bought! 
(for real, I can show the receipts)



I'm not a big spender, but once a year I go on a book-shopping-spree. This is due to my membership to the world's most amazing Book Club, My Book Club can read between the wines (we are actually called 'The Reading Society', but that sounds to much like a bunch of dead poets. Let's stick to the winy name). Every year each member gets a change to go buy books for the club. R1,000 will definitely not buy you ten books, but a loving husband can make up the difference. So yes! I've just purchased TEN BOOKS!

5 Hardcover/Paperbacks

5 E-books/Kindle

 
 

I've bought the last one simply because I fee like the Luckiest Girl Alive today. And I have seen it around the blogosphere. Hope it doesn't disappoint. 

Now I have all these lovely books, but I can't read them yet. No, really. I won't. I need to read the other Book Club books first. August Library Card. It's just 27 days to go.



Thalk to me!

What books will you buy if you were the luckiest girl alive today?
Have I made good or bad choices here?

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m
