Maybe! I hadn't thought of that. I just popped round and donated lots of goodies, they don't open for a week or so, but I'm already planning to keep them well stocked! ;);) Luckily there way a guy doing some electricals an he accepted my st:Auff

Hi All,

I'm currently reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke, I'm up to Page 114 - it's got 1006 pages :eek: I'm starting to struggle a bit (that's to say I'm not enjoying the book that much). Has anyone else read it? and if so does it get better? or shall I give up and start reading something else? Thanks

I finished Lucky by Alice Sebold in the week - a bit hard going in places but a worthy read.

I am now reading Dewey - the library cat who touched the world. I am really enjoying it :j:j:j

I also have on my next to read list Fear the Worst by Linwood Barclay.

Since this is a no buying books thread ! I am ashamed to admit that I have visited the varying charity shops near my work this week and have picked up probably ten books. :eek:

They are all hiding behind the sofa waiting for me to read them !

I've read both and would give them both :T:T:T:T:T. If you have the other two Stieg Larsson, I would read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but if not, read Her Fearful Symmetry. Really enjoyed that, much better than the Time Traveller's Wife in my opinion

I have the audio book of it....i think i managed about 3 hours of it and gave up...never really got into the story at all,and i never liked the voice reading it either.

Finished Linger - Maggie Stiefvater this morning.
Bit of a boring "middle" book....got to wait for the 3rd in the series to be released...think its march sometime.
I am going to make a dent in some library books now, thinking of starting Night of The Solstice - L.J Smith tonight. Never heard of it before, was in the young adult section, and i have read alot of her books in the past, she wrote Vampire Diaries (now the tv show) and the Nightworld series.

Also i have totally failed again, bought 3 books from Amazon this morning....and i am now realising i need a second bookshelf! Trip to IKEA during the week will be needed!

So IN'S:
Ash - Malinda Lo
Raised by Wolves - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Bloody Valentine (A Blue Bloods Novella) - Melissa de la Cruz

Thanks LittlePinkStar - I think I'll probably go with my gut - which is considerable :rotfl:and start a book that I enjoy.

Oh dear.This seems to be turning into a "here's my excuse for buying more books when I've already got lots to read yet" thread !

:o:o Guilty as charged ! :o:o

It's my birthday today and I bought myself one Piers Anthony book in a series of seven (had 3 already) and got the other three as presents. (All off e-bay, second hand, and used Topcashback and Amex card to maximise Moneysaving. That's my excuse and I'm stuck with it.:))

Then I failed compleeeeeetely. Just happened to be browsing on e-bay and I came across The complete set of the Riverworld books by Philip Jose Farmer, in hardback, with no reserve, at only (so far) £1.04 + £3 postage. Got them for £8.50 inc postage. Nice present for myself, and I hope my eldest daughter will like them too, though I might let her read the paperbacks I already have, in order to preserve the hardbacks for posterity.


Sad git ? Yes ! And proud to be a book addict.:rotfl:


Finances will have to be reviewed this month, as my car needs a new exhaust and eldest daughter needs a laptop for school as her PC has just died (I'm sure I made do with the library and a calculator when I was a school :eek:). I think I feel a new Amex 5% cashback card coming on.
