The Library Nook

Yes that's it exactly! Sometimes I am left feeling like 'oh I wish my life was different!' but then pick up a new book and get absorbed in the new life!

It depends on my mood! Sometimes I go with a few books in mind but most of the time I wander around aimlessly and pick up books catch my eye. However my local library is tiny, plus I can get rarely get there when it is open so I don't use it as much as I could.

I can't think of specifics at the moment but generally just books that absorb me and are unputdownable!

lol I have to admit to doing that too but only with my own books. As for bacon rind, eurgh! I have bought a few bookmarks over the years but always lose them so usually just use post it notes, scraps of paper etc. Yes, thought it was just me!

I hope you enjoy To Kill a Mockingbird, I read it for the first time recently and was engrossed with it. I haven't read Of Mice and Men so you have inspired me to read it!

I have tried to in the past but keep failing to record them so haven't a clue what and how many books I have read! Would love to have the discipline though.

I mostly read at night as I don't get much opportunity during the day. At lunch I try and get some marking done so i can read a bit more at night lol! However if I am reading a particularly good book I read at lunch. I also sneak in some class reading time with the kids, we are reading Skulduggery Pleasant at the moment and although I have read it before I am enjoying reading it again:) I also read them a lot of picture books and poems, I believe they are never too old for picture books!

So tidy!

Mine isn't a reader but he loves the fact that I read so much and puts up with books being all over the flat!

I used to do that a lot although I don't manage it as much anymore. My record has been three 350-400 pages novels in one day, goodness knows how.

Hello all, How long does it normally take books to come through?

I too have lost a few over the years. Now I only lend out very occasionally and only if I know I won't be too disappointed if the book doesn't come back. But my number is nowhere near 132!

I have been hearing a lot about this author recently and want to branch out into different genres of writing. Does anyone have any suggestions with what I should start with?

I need to get a move on and finish my classic for this month! Four days left:)

Just finished this and really enjoyed it!

Dracula and Frankenstein are both great books.

sloth I love you! That is so it!

I got the Dedication one too, very excited as it is the first one I have ever got:)

Fingers crossed for you!

I get NewBooksMag and occasionally the BBC Food one (although I rarely cook the recipes lol) but my main magazines are Junior Education and Literacy Times for my job.

Sounds great, I want to branch out into authors from a variety of different countries and this sounds like an interesting one to add to the list!

I too also used to always try and finish every book I started but found it caused me to have a reading slump so now I either skim read it or put it down with a view to trying again later:) Not that that always happens!

OK I will give that a practice on my own reading blog to check I can do it lol!
