I have no problem reading books but I have the problem with no more space and not enough money for other things :P I have got to stop buying books off Amazon and I can't resist a cheap book. Honestly, redoing my bookcase this week, I realise there are only half the books I want to keep there. I sent a lot to the charity shop but book swapping sounds pretty cool. My local library is crap and I tend to get stains on the books because I read when I eat which isn't a good thing...0

Don't worry - we've all been there! I still am!
My bookshelf broke a month or two ago and I've had to box up lots of my books before I move (I'm moving soon and I was going to have to do it sooner rather than later anyway). I threw away a half a dozen or so as I knew there was no chance that I would use ever read them. I just have to worry about the other, ooh, hundred or so! :eek:Please call me 'Pickle'

I loved Sing You Home.
Finished 1.4 at the weekend - very good but didn't think it was as good as 0.4.
Started a library book (just joined the library so was excited to go and see what they had) started "How to live safely in a science fictional universe." Its a book I read about ages ago in a magazine and had an interesting sounding concept - its about a time machine repair man who kills his future self so thought i'd give it a go.No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.
Target for 2018 = 7/21
No more buying DVDs ? 2018 target 27/52

Finished reading the fourth of cathy woodmans books, was ok but not great and am choosing what to read next.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

I've FINALLY read a book! 'A Tiny Bit Marvelous' by Dawn French.
Review: entertainingly written, but not well-written. It was a fun few hours reading, but there came a certain point where I saw the ending a fair bit in advance but it was still interesting and French shows some good insights into human nature and shows herself to be very intelligent in places.Please call me 'Pickle'
