Bundu Reviews

It looks like a rainy start to the Easter weekend – at least in Johannesburg!

The wife has claimed her Kindle back so I’ve had to search high and low through our bookshelves to find something decent to read. I even went so far as to look at what was on the daughters shelf and came across her copy of “Twilight”.

Up until now I have had absolutely no desire to read it. I love science fiction of the vampire nature, but my impression of Twilight was a lame, soppy, romantic series for teenagers.

I appear to have gotten it a little wrong and the book is actually quite well written and story line is sound! Maybe that explains why it has been such a phenomenal success on all the best-seller lists?

So what else are people reading this weekend?

The second Sunday in January has just rolled around and as has become our tradition, we check out the various online retailers to find out what tops the list of bestselling books for the Bundu Reviews community.
