I love your responses on this thread! I am biased I know but how can you not love books and reading lol!
-
I decided on the new Bill Bryson about Shakespeare:)
-
I can't decide what to get as my download this month on audible:( Any recommendations? Was thinking of something non-fiction but it needs to be a good voice if you get what I mean lol!
-
Curled up on the sofa with a blanket:)

lol, you can tell I was on holiday when I am zoomed through that! Back at school now and my lovely class are lovely but exhausting! Plus I am reading lots of teaching books at the moment so it leaves little time for personal reading.
-
Started Memory Keepers Daughter and Notes from an Exhibition because Palin is too big to carry around. You can tell I am back teaching because my reading has gone right down lol!
-
Hello and welcome!

Hello!
-
lol exactly!
-
This is why I have literally thousands of books and nowhere to put them.
I am sure I will be the same when we move out of the shoebox lol!

I have just taken a break from work and been looking on my shelves to see what I can put on Read It Swap It. However on my shelves I have so many books I don't want to get rid of, even though I may not want to re-read them for a long time. What makes you decide to re-read or keep books?
-
I am about to embark on using audiobooks so its good to see that you use them a lot. I am worried that my mind will wander when I am listening!
-
Some chicken kebab things in pitta bread, OH supposed to be cooking and I am getting very hungry lol!
-
This always happens when I read a non-fiction book- I don't read! Even though it is something I really want to read I get a kind of brain block. However to be fair I have done loads of work today instead so thats a positive I guess:)
-
Oh I love The Stand sooo much! I love the film version as well:)
-
Thanks Kell, it's probably a good thing it is down or I will get too distracted!
-
I have been trying to get onto bookmooch but the site looks down, it won't work. GM looks good though so thanks for that!
-
So it works out a good deal in the end? Thats what I like about RISI, I know that when I post a book out I will be getting a book in return!
-
Ooh I might give them a go but all this points talk is a bit scary lol!
-
I try and stick to one but sometimes I get in one of my reading funks and can't get into anything and end up with three or four books on the go, none of which end up getting completed for ages!
-
I get my books from a wide variety of places.
Charity Shops
Read It Swap It (I haven't tried Green Metropolis or Bookmooch yet, are they good?)
'Proper' shops although in my town all we have is a small WHSmiths so I have to wait until we go shopping elsewhere before being able to buy
Amazon
Library
I try not to buy many new books because it all adds up so much!
-
Glad it was interesting and useful, I am always really interested by things like this. xx
-
This article was linked too on RISI and I thought I would post it here. It's a great article about all the wonderful effects of reading. As if we needed to be told:)
-
In an effort to distract myself from working I have been looking at old issues of newbooksmag that I got from the library and found an interview with the author of this book. Has anyone read it? Is it good? I might try and search it out!

I too am completley out of sync with what is going on after not having a TV for a long time. Can someone PM me the 6 that escape lol!?
