This week is actually week 27 of my 52 book reading challenge (1 book per week for a year). but I haven't updated my blog for a few weeks. I chose to take a reading break after finishing Allegiant by Veronica Roth, to be able to reflect on the book and the series. Now I am back :)
As I am now behind with my reading challenge this week I will be reading 2 books.
This week:
25. A book where the main character has your dream job.
26. A book with a green cover.
What is your dream job? Or should I say one of your dream jobs? I have many! I would love to own/run a bookshop.
The book I'm reading for week 26 would also have fit under week 24 'a book everyone has read but you'. Most of my friends have read this book.

Book Blurb - The Secret of Happy Ever After by Lucy Dillon
When story-lover Anna takes over Longhampton's bookshop, it's her dream come true. And not just because it gets her away from her three rowdy stepchildren and their hyperactive Dalmatian. Unpacking boxes filled with childhood classics, Anna can't shake the feeling that maybe her own fairytale ending isn't all that she'd hoped for. But, as the stories of love, adventure, secret gardens, lost dogs, wicked witches andgiant peaches breathe new life into the neglected shop, Anna and her customers get swept up in the magic too. Even Anna's best friend Michelle - who categorically doesn't believe in true love and handsome princes - isn't immune. But when secrets from Michelle's own childhood come back to haunt her, and disaster threatens Anna's home, will the wisdom and charm of the stories in the bookshop help the two friends - and those they love - find their own happy ever afters?

Book Blurb - Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Book Blurb - Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more - she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She's horribly shy and has always buried herself in the fan fiction she writes, where she always knows exactly what to say and can write a romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.
Without Wren Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She's got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words . . . And she can't stop worrying about her dad, who's loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
Now Cath has to decide whether she's ready to open her heart to new people and new experiences, and she's realizing that there's more to learn about love than she ever thought possible . . .
