Well I have broken my resolution big time this week - I bought 11 books!!! Admittedly two of them were travel guides for when I go to Barcelona.

I bought them all at work so got a good discount but even so!! Trouble is when I am at the till customers keep bringing up books that I have not seen and they look good and I have to buy them!!!!

I NEED HELP!!

Finished How Mumbo-Jumbo Conqeuered the World.. Decided to keep hold of this. But rounded up 3 bags of children's books to go to Oxfam :T

I have now read all my "started" books and am now starting "new" books IYSWIM.

I began The Associate the new John Grisham last night. I am totally hooked already. It's years since I have read a John Grisham. I love his books:D

Happy Reading

I'm reading so slowly at the moment! I'm blaming all the DFW diaries I'm catching up on!

Just got a yoga book through on Bookmooch too so need to see if I can understand that! That's for an energetic day though, not a Monday night!

Sounds like we have very similar tastes, I'm a Laurie Graham fan too. I've read a few, but still have two or three on my to read pile.

I'm reading The Calligraphers Daughter at the moment, which was sent to me by Amazon Vine, really liking it so far, but its slow going.

I've just bought four books (all for £16 though!) two are for Dad's borthday and the others are recipe books so they're 'reference books' and don't add to my total

Had to go to London with work on Monday and read my book all the way there and all the way back (6 hours total) and am now nearly though it (The Subtle Knife) - I'm totally hooked, all I needed was a good stab at it (arf!) rather than trying to read it half a chapter at a time and falling asleep with it.

I love this book smiley so much I'm putting it in my post as well:
