I've recently started reading
The Alchemist and it's one of those books that you can pretty much tell will be brilliant, after the first few pages. I've heard so much about this book and how inspiring and life changing it is, but I suppose I was just waiting to get around to it in my own time. My sister has actually been recommending that I read it for so long now. Her recommendations I should add, are pretty much always spot on. I'm really excited for this read and hopefully, I will gain as much from it as its millions of other readers. I will most definitely be doing a follow up post once I complete it. I'm hoping to get through it pretty quickly, as I have another book that I've recently purchased and am dying to start.
i really want to start reading this book! looks great.

Thank you Angela ! I have really been loving this book as well.
DeleteI read this book in 10th grade and it was mind boggling at first! I should take another look at it and get a positive message this time:)
ReplyDeleteyea i probably wouldn't have gotten as much out of it, if I read it while I was still in high school. I'd definitely say to give it another go !
