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

Have read through Food Solutions, premenstrual syndrome by Patsy Westcott for Hamlyn, fairly helpful, has made me more enthusiastic about healthy eatting, exercising & complimentary therapies. I'm putting it in the charity shop bag.

Back from my hols and did a lot of reading!


Finished Respect (left on plane), then read the latest Shopaholic (will give away). I've read a few Kindle freebies, including The Villa in Italy by Elizabeth Edmondson which I very much enjoyed.


Now reading To Kill a Mockingbird and can't believe I've not read it before now!

On to the 5th Harry Potter now, nearly 1/2 way. Coping okay with reading such a large volumed book on the bus to/from work!

Finished Elizabeth is missing, really enjoyed it. It's written from the perspective of an 82 year old who has pockets full of post it notes reminding her her friend Elizabeth is missing, while trying to piece together where she could be and why no one will take her seriously we flit back in snatched memories and flash backs to the time when maud was young and her older glamorous sister sukey went missing. Can maud solve the mystery of what happened to her sister and will anyone help her to locate Elizabeth before her altzimers gets so bad she can't remember who she is or what the noted she finds in her pockets mean.

Got a Lynn Andrews off the TBR shelf - from this day forth. Always a nice easy read, and can definately pass these on to my mum.

I've got another 2 books in my bag for the charity shop, Too posh to wash by Kim & Aggie, got it ages ago because I liked Kim & Aggie & to be honest it's a bit useless because I do wash anyways, the other one is The Wedding Girl by Sophie Kinsella, one of those ones which you think you haven't read then quickly realise that you have already read it. I'm starting to wonder what forgot ton books I'm gonna dig up next.

I'm so far behind with my reading. I just haven't had time to read anything from my bookshelf! Although I did read a free kindle book but I deleted it and can't remember the title. It was a personal finance one.
On the plus side, I have sold 8 books online so they are out of the house! My book shelves are slowly decreasing!

Started another book, ignoring gravity by Sandra danby, what a brilliant start! It's really pulled me in.
While clearing stuff with her younger sister after their mum died of cancer 6 months previously rose comes across her mums old diaries which they start to read. To her horror rose finds something in them that implies she is adopted. Her whole world comes crashing around her as she realises she is not who she thinks she is and the people left around her are not family at all.
The blurb on the back says ignoring gravity connects two pairs of sisters separated by a generation of secrets so I can't wait to see what's in store.
