Looks like I've not popped in for a while! I've been doing quite a lot of reading on the bus recently and have read Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks, The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern and Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult. All great books and I sacrificed the reading of the news in Metro several times in order to read more of each book! I'm currently reading The Time Traveller's Wife and as soon as I've finished I will finally allow myself to watch the film. I'm really enjoying it so far, though it does get a bit confusing when trying to read it while half asleep!*2014 £365/365days - £52/£365* *20p Savers club #17 £12.00/£50*

Finished "Unbearable lightness" by Portia de Rossi. It was a fascinating read. I couldn't believe what she's been through in her life and what she's overcome.No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.

Finished "Keeping you a secret" by Julie Anne Peters.
Another from my tbr pile - can't believe how well I'm keeping to my challenge of alternating library books with tbr books - much better than last year!
Think I'm going to start "Out of sight, out of time" by Ally Carter next. Another tbr.
Also must confess I bought 3 books, "The Princess Bride", "Cheating at Solataire" and "Learning to play gin". They were free though as I got an Amazon voucher for xmas and used that.No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.
