    I've started on To Kill a Mockingbird in the last week and currently loving it. It's my bus book for the next week or so so hoping I'll make good progress (also parent's evening on Wednesday so I might read a bit in the long gaps I'm likely to have!)

    One to give away so will alter signature

    found the book. It was not in the hockey bag. it was on the floor beside the side of the couch. now i had looked here at least 10 times over the weekend and it was not there. i went to go to bed last night and put down my current book and seen it out the corner of my eye. just lying there, as if it had been there all along. but i swear it hadnt. strange.

    Did you mean to post your toiletry ins in the book thread pickle?

    Still working through larger than life, enjoying it but it's quite a thick book and I've been doing lots of decluttering so it's taking a while. Once read it will be passed on so its going to be a couple of inches off the shelf!!

    Has anyone tried to access RISI? Have been trying all weekend and today and nothing. Have just tried and it doesn't even give me access to the website, just the forum pages.


    Has anyone heard if there's a problem or anything?

    Had a right result on a school visit today, they had boxes of books left, over that they hadn't managed to sell. Was told that I could have a look. Dug out 11 books - couple that I will pass on to my aunts and uncles. Others that I will read myself first before passing on.
