'No More Buying Books Until I've Read the Ones I've Already Bought' Thread

I am half way through reading Jo Nesbo's The Redeemer, I have been very good, in spite of visiting several NT properties (who have second hand book sales) and lots of CS's and only bought Philippa Gregory The Other Queen, about Mary Queen of Scots, it is for OH immediately, but I will read it later.

Finished Accused by Mark Gimenez on the train yesterday. We have come away and have had to pack light so I have bought a children's Classic with me to read. The Midnight Fox by Betsy Bars.
Saw that jk Rowling bought out another book under her pseudonym - will gat hubby to my me this for Christmas.

Hello everyone! It has been a while. I have been very slow at reading all my books (and there are lots of library loans to read!) I've finally managed to finish one, though: How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran.


It's funny. It's thought-provoking. It's feminist. It has a heart.


Definitely worth a look-see if you think you might like this type of thing.

Yup! Although perhaps tell her that just cos Caitlin got up to it as a teen, doesn't mean she necessarily needs to.

I have just reading through everyone's comments and then I came to my own- guess who had a drink yesterday?!? Had been to a beer and cider festival for a few hours yesterday, and I don't normally drink very much. Hic!!! :beer:

Can I join this challenge please? I think I have about 10 books to read but I will have a sort out tonight. I've had some of them for a couple of years!
