    Finished 'The 100 year old man who climbed out of the window and disaappeared' which I really enjoyed. Very humorous and a really interesting look at history.

    Noe on to 'Meet me at the cupcake cafe' before starting my 2014 reads.
  • I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas. I have just one in to declare hubby bought me Me before you by Jojo Moyes.
    I have decided that 2014 is the year to stop buying books and get rid of the piles we have around the house, I have already listed over 100 of the children's books on ebay and Facebook. I keep buying books because my dream is to have my own library but I live in a tiny 3 bed mid terrace with hubby and 3 growing children, so being realistic it's not going to happen.
    Happy new year.

    Me Before You is a fabulous read and I think one of the only books on Amazon to get nearly all 5 star reviews. I have read four of her other books and they have all been great too. (I also have a puppy called Jojo but that is a coincidence!)

    I should really join this thread as I have a book buying problem. I think I am up to 80 or 90 on my TBR shelf now plus a dozen or so on my Kobo and iPad Kindle app. I did read 59 books this year so that helps, but I seem to buy quicker than I read! This year needs to be more money saving for us though so hopefully that will be an incentive.
