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

Is it bad I've read all the books I own, and most of the interesting ones in the library....I'm a bookgeek, I admit it!

Also, I shall be buying a book or two this week, possibly Thursday, as it's my birthday and borthday books are good!

Currently re-reading The Magical World of Harry Potter

Went to the car boot again yesterday, and bought loads more books at 20p each :T

Currently reading The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw, seems good so far - and tomorrow is library van day

Finished Jo Whiley's My World in Motion If you love Jo and her show you'll like this book so :T:T:T:T 4 claps.

Can't decide what to read next - Peter Kay's "The Sound of Laughter" which was bought for youngest DS (and which he's already read and says it's v v good) or Michael Crichton's State of Fear which Mr Smf2 bought and read.

Happy Reading

Sorry Ive been absent for a while but lifes been a complicated, anyway nothing to confess apart from the fact my "to be read" pile is not getting any smaller even though Ive managed to read

Picture Perfect - Jodi Picoult
Foster Kid - Paul Barber (Denzil from Fools & Horses)
Silent Scream - Lynda La Plante

all borrowed from library with a few more pending (thanks to all your good suggestions).

Am now struggling through "The Missing" by Jane Casey.

Have been reading daily and hope to pop in more often - if Im allowed.

Happy reading everyone

Went with State of Fear. Lovin' it! Never read a Michael Cricton book before. Think DH might have a few more of his books on his shelf which means I have even more books to read......

Happy Reading

The Jurassic Parks are very good - and the second one is significantly better than the film. Check them out if you get the chance.

I have to confess to buying two books - The Secret History by Donna Tartt and Mansfield Park So my to read pile has gone up despite finishing my book (It was for charity though).

I was looking at my shelves this morning and realised I now have two copies of Mansfield Park :doh:The new one does have a nicer cover though I can put the other one on the RiSi pile!

Welcome Elantan!

Well Ive finally finished "The Missing" by Jane Casey and it was Ok towards the end and Im glad I persevered with it. I forgot to mention yesterday that Ive also managed to read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and really enjoyed it (so much so Ive requested the next two from the library). Ive now started "The Importance of Being Kennedy" - thanks to whoever recommended it.

Feel quite pleased with the number of books Ive managed to get through and during this stressful time too.

Happy reading and I'll keep posting (as long as noone minds).
