    Mornin all! Just finished Life According to Lubka -:T:T:T:T very enjoyable and funny! Just about to start Two Caravans by Marina Lewycka from my library pile. Off to library today to return some books and pick up my reserved ones ( chosen from recommendations on here!) No money will be exchanged but loads of lovely reading to look forward to. I love seeing what everyone's reading, it gives me good ideas and also pushes me to read books I might not normally choose.

    Have a lovely day everyone!:A

    Done well with book finishing this week - finished The American Future A History. Interesting, readable, think I didn't get the most from it due to disjointed reading a few pages at a go. :T:T:T - iteresting but I don't think I fully got it due to the stop and start reading. Having a totally chilled weekend which will definitely involve a significant amount of reading.

    Oh, I nearly fell for that one DC.

    I charged over to the direct site and spent twenty minutes piling the trolley with books and then combining your code with points codes and bogof offers.

    It was fun, but I managed to stop myself, just at the point where they wanted my credit card details.

    I think I passed the test :).
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
