My Kindle is from 2013, would love to know what the main differences are with the newer Kindles vs. older ones, if you're up for posting about it at some point . I feel I don't use mine enough to justify buying a new one, but then again maybe I would use it more if I had a new one that wasn't so slow as my Kindle is . Oooh I'm so glad you enjoyed these books! I've got the first 4 Earthsea books in an omnibus too, it was a gift quite a few years ago, and I've read them several times, loving them each time. I look forward to your review(s)!

Maybe it should be called.. shelf control .

I hope the next thriller you read, will be more enjoyable for you!

Great article, thanks for that! I organise mostly by genre but not entirely. Within a genre, I have a 'what fits best where' approach, where authors of whom I have more books take priority over authors of whom I only have one or a couple of books (this is because I want one author's books to preferably all go on the same shelf next to each other). I put my favourites more in the shelves in the middle and on eye-height, top and bottom shelves are on occasion reserved for books I don't often plan to (re)-read or that I've not got as much interest in or that I don't like as much, or that I don't mind as much getting dusty in the case of it being the bottom shelf. Within biographyes & memoirs and for information books, I have them organised based on subject or series, so all autism memoirs are on the same shelf (and are actually together with information books about autism!), same with all AD(H)D related ones. Memoirs by people who are famous for something (ie. from TV or music), are on one shelf. All memoirs about mental health, physical health, and stuff like that, without the people being famous / celebrities etc, are near each other. All my Horrible Histories books are on one shelf, etc. Anyway, I have to leave now because I have an appointment! Can't type more sorry..

Thank you so much, Poppy !! It'll be an exciting time. Thank you so much, Hayley!! I hope it will be fun too!

First off, happy reading in 2020, Hayley!! I hope you'll have a good and enjoyable reading year . Secondly, I've heard good things of The Starless Sea. I hope you enjoy both books you bought, they both look beautiful!

Happy Reading in 2020, VF ! It's great you have a Kindle again !

So glad you enjoyed the 3rd Earthsea novel !

Raven, I love that!

Thank you Madeleine !

My big news is.. I'm in the process of buying a house! We should have the key in less than 4 weeks, then we'll spend some time cleaning and painting and decorating etc. We currently live in a little house called 'the bakery' on my parents' property. There is no rush with moving out, so I want to get everything painted and ready, before we move. 🏠

Thank you Lau Lou!!

Wow, how cool you have the forum's longest running book blog!!

It's my 7 year BCF anniversary today!! Today 7 years ago, on 9th of January 2013, I joined BCF.

I have Birthday on my TBR, glad you liked it! It's nice you're enjoying Harry Potter more than you thought you would. Happy reading (hopefully)! I'm currently reading Girls on the Verge by Sharon Biggs Waller. I've only got maybe a third or a fourth left to read, so I'm hoping to finish it later today. So far it has been a fast and good read, that's made me think.

Books read during the BCF January 2020 read-a-thon: Natsuki Takaya - Fruits Basket CE 9 (17-18): Volume 9 It was really nice to read more of this series and there was an interesting twist in the story. Tomohito Oda - Komi Can't Communicate 1: Volume 1 This was a nice first volume of this series. It's about a teenage girl who has a disorder that makes it very hard for her to talk with other people. She wants to have some friends. A (male) classmate who is new at school decides to help her with this. I enjoyed it. Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata - Death Note 1: Volume 1 I've seen 2/3rds of the anime series. The story in this volume was quite familiar to me, I loved reading it.

I'm glad your first read of the year was so good! I liked reading your review .

That's excellent progress!! Same .

I haven't read anything by Edgar Wallace myself, but Wikipedia lists a lot of his works, some of them with a synopsis if you click on them. Alternatively GoodReads lists his works and if you click of them they should give you a synopsis of what the book is about. Fantastic Fiction also lists his works with description. I tried googling it but it won't give me a book that sounds like it fits your description. So perhaps you could look at one of the links and see which books you already own that you know aren't the one you're missing, and then click on the remaining ones and see which one matches your description? I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but I haven't read anything by this author so this was the best I could do.

This sounds like a good policy/rule . I hope it's interesting . I hope you're enjoying your reading . I went to a second-hand book market yesterday morning and when I got back I was too exhausted to do any reading. Thank you all for participating in this read-a-thon . The next one is on 7, 8, and 9 February.
