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

Stayed up late last night and finished The Cornish Coast Murder by John Bude

It is a forerunner of Agatha Christie Miss Marple Style set in the 1930's. It was very pleasant and well written, although I wouldn't say enthralling ! :T:T:T out of five

Was a library book, so can't say it decreases the ones I owned unread :rotfl:

Is though No 1 of Goodreads Challenge

I finished book 1 also, Eddie Izzard's "Dress to Kill". An easy read. Back to the really small print of the "Ya-Yas"

I am just loving - Only time will tell. Off sick yesterday so managed to read over 100 pages when the tablets were working. Hope everyone else is enjoying their book.

Finally finished Nelson DeMille's The Charm School yesterday, now onto the highly anticipated Cockroaches by Jo Nesbo - started it on the train to work and already looking forward to some chill time tonight to get back into it!

Hello :j

I too have started Jo Nesbo but I'm currently reading The Bat. It's fantastic so far. Have you read it and will you be readings the books in order?

Just finished my second book of the year. Only time will tell by Jeffrey Archer. Fabulous book, great story, easy to read. Rated 5/5. Can't wait to start the next book in the series.

I really need to join this!
I have cut down hundreds - and i mean hundreds in the past few years. I have also donated and given away boxes upon boxes of books.
I sort of started buying books again a while before christmas and have only read part of a few - my problem is i never ever dont finish a story, i may put it on pause for a while but i will go back to it. But what im noticing is the quality of writing is deterriorating and is really annoying when thier is a great idea for a story ruined by shoddy writting. I know this is a cheek coming from me, who is dyslexic, and couldnt write a short story if her life depended on it, but it doenst mean to say we have to put up with this from 'professional' writers.
anyways, rant over lol.

i have one book that i am on the look out for in the local charity shops and that is the only book i am going to allow myself to buy until i have read, finished reading or give away the books i currently have until i have a collection that i am happy to read again and keep on my book shelf.
My aim is to get all books out of my house by end of 2015 that i am not content to keep forever.
