The Book Hub 📙🐻

  Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, I got a bunch of new books to add to my collection. Some were given to me by family and others were gifted to me on my birthday. Although I'm quite a slow reader and that I probably won't read these books straight away, I thought it would be fun to introduce them to you since they all sound like really great books to read. Enjoy!💜 The first book that I will introduce to you is Taking on the World by Ellen MacArthur. My mum had ordered this book a while before my birthday but it got delivered late so I've only recently obtained it but I do recognise the book because I have the French version (Du Vent dans les Rêves). I tried reading the French version but since I'm not the best at understanding French writing, I found it a little difficult to read and so I stopped. However, her story sounds absolutely fascinating and I can't wait to read it. This is Ellen's autobiography about her perilous, singl...

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Tomorrow, I'll be going on holiday to Portugal with my family. We will be staying in a small house in the mountains. There's a swimming pool and lots of places to go on walks but there will be no WiFi so I'm going to bring my own entertainment. Lots and lots of books. I feel like I haven't been reading as much as I should have been reading this summer so this is a great time to catch up. Without further ado, let's get on with the blog post. The first book I'll be taking with me is Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London. It consists of two books in one and I'm hoping to complete both of them. I've begun reading Call of the Wild and I must admit, it isn't my favourite because it lacks description and instead of you figuring out what the story is trying to say, it tells it for you which makes the story boring and less interesting. However, the storyline is good as its set in the height...

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As some of you may know, if you follow what goes on in my main blog, on Thursday I celebrated my 15th birthday. I was given quite a few books to read. The list goes like this: Let Sleeping Vets Lie by James Herriot It Shouldn't Happen To A Vet by James Herriot   Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E.Frankel   War Horse by Michael Morpurgo   The Choice by Edith Eger   The Homage To Catalonia by George Orwell I'm really excited to read all the books but I'm most excited to read The Choice by Edith Eger because it's about a dancer who survived Auschwitz. She was sent there at the age of 16 and she was made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele. Surprisingly, when the camp was liberated, she was pulled from a pile of bodies, barely alive. This sounds like a truly inspirational story and I can't wait to read it. I'm also excited to read Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankel....

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As I'm sure you all know already, I've been reading the second book of James Herriot's memoirs as a Yorkshire country vet. One of his friends/colleagues and brother to Siegfried, is Tristan. Tristan had quite a mischievous personality and was always known for making his older brother very angry. One time he crashed both of Siegried's only cars and this sent his brother over the edge because they needed the cars to carry all the expensive veterinary equipment and to get from farm to farm so it was certainly an inconvenience. However, this time, he did something even worse. There was a country myth going around that this monk would turn up by this chapel on a specific night and as soon as the drivers saw him by the road, they would rev up their engines and soar up the road. Little did they know that it was actually Tristan! One time, he played the prank on James and heard him soar off into the distance after coming ...

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As I'm sure some of you may know, the sequel to the book I'm currently reading now is All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriot. As I'm reaching an end to his first novel, All Creatures Great and Small its time to talk about the next book I'll be reading. I read the blurb of All Things Bright and Beautiful and already, I seem rather intrigued. Knowing from the first book that James found some of the medicines of that time fairly useless, especially the tuberculin testing on cows, his second book is about him entering a new decade, the 30s where medical science is improving. I am intrigued to find out how quick some of his treatments just a few years back are like now. As we all know, around this point, Britain is on the verge of war. I am curious to find out whether he joins the war or not and leaves behind his job as a vet since on the blurb it says "with Britain on the verge of war, James faces a dec...
