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

From reading the book there is a lot of good content that they do not share in the film.

The northern lights books are some of my favourites- remember devouring them as a teenager!

Thanks to whoever reccomended When God was s Rabbitt on the thread, library borrow �� it was fab. Really enjoyed it.

Didn't help with destashing but has got me 5 books closer to my Goodreads total.

Now reading Lorna Luft autobiography

I'm now reading Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, that's going much better! I've seen Golden Compass, so unfortunately the characters look their film equivalent.

One of the best cast films ever IMO - the only time I think watching a film matched the characters in my head! I loved all 3 of the books

I've just finished The Taxidermist's Daughter by Kate Mosse and I loved it, especially as it was a library book and only cost 50p to reserve it! Very atmospheric read.

Might've been me, as I remember posting about it. Glad you enjoyed it.

I finished Northern Lights last night, now on to The Subtle Knife.

Finished 'when will there be good news'. Enjoyed beginning and second half of the book. Found middle a little slow. Score 3.5/5

Started a new book by Elizabeth Elgin - aunt has given it to me. It is about a girl who joins the land army.

On Wednesday I'm going round to a friends house to pick up a box of books - mainly historical novels - she is moving. This won't help reduce my pile - but they are all free!

Finished Lorna Luft ....Me and My Shadows - a family memoir

This was rather heart breaking as it was such a candid memoir of her life dominated by chaos and addiction first as a child with her mother Judy Garland then though her first marriage.

I am happy that having seen her in a small jazz club she is now healthy and happy

Only 5 nooks to go for Goodreads target

I'm almost finished with "The Twin" by Gerbrand Bakker. It's a story about a farmer whose twin brother had died in his late teens which was the reason why he had to take over the family farm. He meets his brother's fiance again much later. I can recommend it!
