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

LolaLemon

I finished Dance with Dragons part one on friday and have been huntinf around to find part 2; book 6, and book 7 but only place i can find them is smiths and they are back of book price only - £9.99 each, actually, that was last week i seen them, this week thier are none left ! still wouldnt pay that amount for them. i'll just need to wait til they appear in a charity shop nearby.
back to the life changing magic of tidying up - kondo. im half way though, and this book should really only take about an hour or 3 to read it in one go, but im reading it inbetween calls at work. i had put the Other Boleyn Girl on pause whilst i finished Game of Thrones but may pick it back up during my break today.

Authors i cant seem to part with are Sidney Sheldon and J.K. Rowling, the rest i can part with but have trouble gettingt them Out.The.Door (hoarder here) I do have them in a bag ready to go to the charity shop at the weekend though, so at least its a start. haha

I've just finished rereading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at the weekend and started on The last in the series.

I've nearly finished To Kill A Mockingbird and am amazed at how much I've enjoyed it. It hasn't appealed to me before!

I love reading Harry Potter books. I use to get the audio books and play them in the car and the classroom.
Have To Kill a Mockingbird on my bookshelf to read.

One day I must join this thread as I got another 3 books today from the charity shop to add to my ever growing pile of books to read :cool:

I finished Frances Hardinge's Cuckoo Song - a great book, not just for kids.


I'm now on Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor. Not enjoying it as much as I thought I might - seems a bit bitty. But I shall persist!

I've now finished "The View From Here". What an amazing little book! My friend was right in guessing that I would enjoy it although the story is disturbing at times.

Now moving on to Steven Conte's "The Zookeeper's War"

Hi everyone!

Boy, do I need to clean up my signature!

Right, two more (short) books read, both by John Bird:

The 10 Keys to Success
How to Change Your Life in 7 Steps

Short, interesting, down-to-earth self-help books. Well worth a read.

See you soon!

Finished Fairytales every child should know. Was good to be re-acquainted with stories from my childhood.

I've also started and finished The Mirror World of Melody Black by Gavin Extence. Was a very good book focussing on the main character's mental illness and how this effects her world. Didn't take me long to read.

I've now gone back to my original To Read list, so I've started Treasure Island, which I'm fairly sure I read at school, but I'll read again just to be sure.

So far I'm quite enjoying The Zookeeper's War, I love anything set in Berlin

In the kitchen I'm currently listening to Elisabeth is missing, a real gem!
