Well, I think it's fair to say you won't be bored until you get yourself your first non-student job! :rotfl:

ooh really? Are you not allowed to then? Mines are both completely different local authorities though. One is part of the Glasgow Libraries and the the other is part of the smaller local authority where I live.

whatyadoinsucka

try using readitswapit.co.uk
then you can swap books and only pay postage ie £1.50 to get a swap

Observer

Little pink stars - just the purple list would phase me, I wouldn't know where to start! Perhaps you should start your own library lol!! I have been part of a few librbaries in the past, I don't think it matters though one would have been the local authority I live in whose card covers any library in their authority, and the other would be the joining authority where I work. Just don't take a book back to the wrong library :rotfl:Also I looked at your blog, very impressive, (I too like the pic across the top)

I've never looked at readitswapit but I might just try - my books I don't want go to a charity shop anyway so this way I'd get one in exchange.

I've just read two quick read books. Jack and Jill by Lucy Cavendish and Strangers on the 16:02 by Priya Basil. Both were good
:T:T:T:T Some quick reads I've read have been a bit rubbish but I liked both these. I find they are good for a little break from 'normal' length books.

Observer, what did you think of Jack and Jill?
I was looking at it a few weeks ago and was going to buy it, now it's gone lol!

Observer

LPS - I liked it. Nice easy going though I liked the interaction between Jack and Jill more that the 'shocking' reason Jack doesn't talk. You are welcome to have it if you want? (Am I allowed to offer that?!)
