Thanks. I'll give the Immortals a miss for now. I saw the 4 book set was on £5.49 or something, but still not enough to tempt me.

I remember the VA book. I did enjoy it, but it fell apart in the heat so never made it home from the holiday. More books to add to the wishlist.

Sorry for distracting you from your Uni work LPS, and everyone else for taking over with talk of supernatural/vampire. I do read other things too, honest!

Any distraction is good right now...working on a Spanish translation and it is doing my head in. Going to have a wee break now and try to put this bookcase together i got the other night. Though i can see me getting my dad to do it for me in an hour or so!

I once waited twenty years for No.2 in a series of 3. By the time I'd found No.2, (I'd put No.1 and 3 away and forgotten about them) it was a series of 7 !!! Now I have all 7 plus the audio books. It was worth the wait, and only cost about £10 in total,by careful manipulation of Audible free trials. Ahem !:)

careful manipulation :rotfl: I love that! do the same thing with Audiable as well!

Just been pointed in this direction from the Toiletries thread. I don't think I have the energy to read the whole thread. Please forgive me.
I love books but I do tend to have more self help, gardening, cookery and of course my hobbies. I just spent about £70 on books, to arrive any day now, via Amazon
I do tend to buy on line, due to ill health, and when less ill, in charity shops.

I have books in all sorts of place due to the move here, and the small bookcase being full.

Perhaps I will follow the principle and try not to buy anymore books when I am low, depressed etc, for the rest of the year. That will be a huge ask I know.

After saying earlier i didn't really like fairy books.....i've just re-organised my books onto this new book shelf and have realised i have 5 books to read about fairies!!!

And Mooloo, welcome to the thread!!

Well, I've done it! :j 20 books for the charity shop. Cancer research, I think,as I have a friend who's struggling with it big time.

:wave: Mooloo!

Welcome! Not buying any more books when feeling under the weather sounds like a great challenge to set yourself. Perhaps you could also sort and arrange the books you've already got when you feel up to it? I did it, to see where I was up to, and I was gobsmacked at how many books I had. I put all my old ones into boxes and arranged all the unread ones on my shelves so that when the urge to read comes upon me, I can't help but grab an unread one!
