Visited the Library...

Hey everyone,

I'm totally into English Literature and classical novels at the moment, which is why I went to the library and hoped to find some reading material. I've already been there last week and got two audio books ("Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "Lady Susan" by Jane Austen).

Unfortunately the library in my town is not that big and they don't have many english books. :(  But this is what I got yesterday:

Sorry about the light. I'm quite a lousy photographer and the camera I use at the moment is probably not the best one. ;)

As you can see I found "Sense and Sensibilty" by Jane Austen. I actually didn't want to take it with me because the letters are very small and it won't be that nice to read but when I couldn't find any other Jane Austen novel in English I just took it.

The other book ("By a Lady") I found is a collection of extracts of Austen's novels, which is in Englisch and German.

As you can see I got four more Audio Books. There is "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "The Picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde, "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens and last but not least "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I already read and only brought for my boyfriend, so he can listen to it when he can't sleep. ;D

This is it for now - just wanted to show you what I'm interested in at the moment and I would love to see what you think about it in the comment section. :)

See you next time,

Hermione

Sunday Favourite #2 : Harry Potter Audio Books

Hey everyone,

today it's time for another Sunday Favourites and it will be the Harry Potter Audio Books (UK Version)! :)
I don't want to repeat my love for Harry Potter over and over again but...

***

After reading all the books in German and Englisch and watching every film in every language I know (;D) I also got the Audio Books in English because there was a lot of advertisement on Pottermore and I couldn't resist anymore. ;) 

shop.pottermore.com ;)

 The books are read by Stephen Fry in the UK version, while Jim Dale reads the US Version. After comparing the two man a little I have to say that Stephen Fry is my favourite! He just has such a calm and interesting voice, which is perfect for audio books because they can become a little dull I think - especially when the "reader" only has one voice. Stephen Fry gives personality to every character through his voice and this is just amazing.

 I'm currently listening to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Chapter 15 - The Unbreakable Vow :D) and I really enjoy it. Mostly I listen to it before going to bed and that reminds me of being a child and listening to audio cassetes in bed. :) (At this point I would like to apologize to my boyfriend because I never turn them off. ;D)

For the case that I finish the HP Audio Books I got some english literature classics like "Jane Eyre" and some from Jane Austen to listen to because I think I will become an Audio Book addict. :)

What do you think about Audio Books? Did you listen to the Harry Potter ones yet?

Hope you liked that little post and I can just recommend to give Audio Books a try - especially when they are about Harry Potter. :)

See you next time,
Hermione
