'No More Buying Books Until I've Read the Ones I've Already Bought' Thread

Finished Blood Ties today Not sure what to start next

Have just arrived at work for my evening shift and there is a box of books on my desk - Kathy Reichs ones I haven't read - that someone is giving me! Woohoo!! Means my self-imposed ban is extended saving me even MORE money!!

Although, having said that, my fave author in the world EVER, Mr Stephen King, has a new one out - four stories in one book a la Four Past Midnight - so unless Santa brings that one, I fear a slight "slip" in the no-new-books situation MAY occur. I shall, however, wait until after Xmas to see if it arrives that way first.

*sigh*
Suppose I'd best go and get some work done.

Oh, am currently stiill reading Michael J Fox's autobiography *really good* and Jeremy Clarkson's new book *good, funny but not as funny as the other three*. Next up, probably Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult. I love her stuff, although I have heard people say that this one is a bit difficult to get into, we shall see...

Keep it up everyone - any recommendations welcome!

ok i know its cheating but ivr given 3 books away before reading them. they were ones that came free with magazines and my DD was trying to find things to go into christmas shoeboxes for the troops in afganistan, i thought the female soldiers might like a book to pass the time and they werent ones i was desperate to read.

I finished 204 Rosewood Avenue, and have moved onto 311 Pelican court - I'll have that done by the weekend!!

I have done a very bad thing and have ordered the next one off of Amazon - it was only a penny plus postage! I know it was very bad, but I'm so fed up at the moment. My little man was due to have his first round of botox and a hip procedure under anestetic today and it got cancelled late last night, my mum has terminal cancer and is really down too so I am tring to keep her cheerful and fighting, and DH came down with man flu and is being a real PITA! Anyway, am waffling now, going back to my book!!
