    Oh I quite agree and normally I'm in my library all the time, my nearest is quite a fancy building so I love going there (shallow I know....) but I really really love both Marian Keyes and Jasper Fforde and there is also the new Maggie O'Farrell another of my faves so my self justification is that I know I'll re-read all of their books.......

    Actually saying that, I've not been to the library for a while. I was lucky enough to get a ton of free books and have been working my way through them and then I've moved into a flat and have got all my old books from my parents loft so lots more reading materials.....

    Maybe I'll go there on Saturday!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
