Long time no see! Once that exams are over for this Fall, my life has suddenly got back all this precious time one has to oneself, in other words, more time to read. All books are great in every occasion, but some are just better, and who doesn't love a book that will make you feel cozy and warm at home on these winter days that are certainly coming soon? (or have yet arrived in some places). Especially, if Christmas is just around the corner. As for me, this four next books will surely help you go through this buzy but incredible month.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
An American classic by Stephen Chobsky with a moving story. It certainly won't leave you indifferent and it will remind you of many memories from when you were (or are) young. It's a nice story, not without some though parts too, but still nice to read when you're next to the fire curling up in a blanket. Charlie, the main character, is just a guy like all of us, trying to find out his place in the world and probably this is way the book is so incredible.

A Christmas Carol
Maybe you've seen the movie or maybe you have already read the book, but this one is a story no one easily forgets. The touching story of Scrooge, who travels with the ghosts through Past, Present and Future to finally realize the importance of life -and Christmas. This tale is set in a Christmas Eve in London, so it'll surely be nice to read when this days of celebration are coming.
Quotes:
"There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor"
"I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all year"

Murder in the Orient Express
Oh, dear Agatha Christie. In one of the most famous cases of mr. Hercules Poirot, we travel alongside the Orient Express to end up discovering a murder inside the train. As it would have not been possible for anyone to get in and out of it, the list of suspects narrows down to the 13 other passengers and the train conductor. Believe me, the end is just unbelievably fascinating.
