Books and reading are a major part of my life too. I have an anxiety disorder and when I have my bad days, they help me 'escape' and I find I am able to forget how I feel for a few hours allowing me to relax and to get things straight. Thankfully, I don't have so many bad days now as I used to, two years ago, I couldn't leave the house on my own, let alone talk to anyone! Now, I zoom about everywhere by myself. I don't think I would of been able to get through those times without having books, reading has always been a big part of my life, even when I was a child, we were discouraged from watching TV and to read a book instead. Do I feel guilty about reading so much? Sometimes, but when I do. I get the dog and go for a walk, but I have never felt like I had to apolagize for reading so much. Hugs, Bethxx

I am glad Phillip went, but I think it would have been fairer if Loraine and Phillip both got fired. Lorraine may not be as cocky, but she does alienate people and, doesn't seem easy to work with! hugs, Bethxx

I have got this on my bookshelf , I haven't read it yet, but my brother read it and said that it was a good book, but a heavy read. he said it was quite gory too! I will get around to reading it one day! hugs, Bethxx

Is it too late to join this challenge? As I would like to read more classics and I think that this would really motivate me to read them? hugs, Bethxx

Thank you for the huge welcome! hugs, Bethxx
