Hi I have managed to read another book
A Mummy for Christmas by Caroline Anderson - a library book. A Mills and Boon Large print medical romance. It was a really easy read and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.

No problem - hope you like it. It's an account of the Zombie War (like world war 3 with zombies against humans) told in 1st person accounts by people who lived through it all interviewed by the author - it's written like a history book as if it really happened.No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.

Finished the 2nd book of The Hunger Games - again was brilliant! Will be starting the 3rd one next - can't wait to see how it all ends - it's been very twisty so far.
I also downloaded a load of free Kindle books for my ipod app and have started "The Facebook killer" which so far is pretty good. Don't think they count as books bought though since they were free, or am I making up rules?!No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.

I find myself having to confess to yet another purchase. 3 more books to my ever growing to read pile. I had a proper count today and have amended my signature to reflect this, my total to read now stands at 60 so I really must stay out of the charity shops for the rest of the year!!!Debt free, aim to be MF by 50 (Sept 2026)

Nothing new added, but those of us who use goodreads will need to log in to 'rescue' some book data as they won't be using Amazon as a data source anymore!It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

I'd love to re-join if you'll have me and promise to try harder this year as I have far too many books laying around. Today I've started
Hannah's List - Debbie Macomber
Love reading all your lists/thoughts and reviews of books and have a list of books I'd love to read now too.
Well Im barging back in to declare Ive finally finished Hannah's List and really enjoyed, never having read any of Debbie Macomber's books before I'd love to read more but am determined to read the 10 or so Ive put on the bookcase first (I have piles more in the attic and didnt want to overwhelm myself). I plan to read next:
The Model Wife - Julia Llewellyn

Has anyone sold on Green Metropolis? I've just been reading through their site, am I correct in reading that the seller is paid £3 and that is to include postage? Most of my books are quite heavy so I don't think I would get any profit!
