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

caroline78

Haven't read the whole thread yet but wanted to join in.

I adore reading although only do it in bed (or on the loo..lol), but can still finish about 2 books a week. I read anything, my hubby bought me the Enid Blyton set of Malory Towers for Christmas as I mentioned I loved them as a child (I'm 32 now), and I adored reading them again.

At the minute I am reading 127 hours...the true story of Aron Ralston. Only started it last night and am about a quarter of the way through. I am unemployed due to some problems with my pregnancy (1st baby after 6 years of trying, so taking no chances), so have loads of night time hours to read in.

I have loads of books in the bookcase, but have read some of them which I must get packed up to pass on to my aunt...and then hopefully she will have some to pass to me...lol

I will make my list out tomorrow....now I'm off to read through some more posts and get more added on to my wishlist..lol...xx

Welcome, and I remember reading both the Malory Towers and St. Clare's sets when I was younger. I liked them a lot, but the slightly strange version of interchangeable French mistresses both amused and bemused me. I wonder what Enid Blyton thought of the French?

I was a huge fan of Enid Blyton as a child and read everything I could get my hands on! My granny used to send me a postal order on my birthday and I always spent it on a new Enid Blyton. ( I'm giving my age away now!) Despite all the contraversy about Enid Blyton, it was her books that hooked me into reading as a young child and gave me the love of books have had all my adult life! I was even a member of the Secret Seven Club :rotfl:

I wish you all good wishes for your pregnancy - keep well and healthy:)

Thanks Jintyb and InaPickle..

Enid Blyton was also my fav author when I was a child, and even now I could pick up one of her books and lose hours...

Going to delve into the bookcases now and start this list of books to be read...xx

Thanks to you lot I now have a wishlist on Amazon...

Just spent a few hours reading through this entire thread and adding the books I fancied onto my wish list, which then suggested other titles to me...so I now have 35 books on there....lol

Nope, that's definitely a present, but I've started going onto my local library's website and searching for a book there instead of on Amazon, then requesting it. I get the same buzz and less of a bill!
