The Library Nook

I have never been able to get into Dickens, I must try harder.

lol! I am the opposite, no kids of my own so holidays are glorious for reading.

Janet- I would like to read some more classics this year, that is one of my other goals! Karen- since blogging I have got loads of book ideas but I have been a bit lapse with blog lately. Will head over to check out yours though and get some more ideas!

lol thats what had been tempting me:)

I plan to explore a new genre in my reading (haven't decided what yet!) because I normally stick to what I would call 'normal' fiction. Is anyone else planning to explore anything new? I would quite like to read some more non-fiction as well!

I do like Ian McEwan and have been eyeing this one up in Smiths, I might have to give it a go!

Right I think I am up to date with the books in my flat, apart from all my teaching books which I can't face! I have loads of books in my mums loft but won't get to them until me and OH move into our own house and live in more than a shoebox:)

Yay a fellow teacher!

Oh my goodness how organised are you! You put me to shame so much!

Me and OH are massive Top Gear fans, we like nothing better than snuggling on the sofa watching an episode. If one of the hosts leave I will be crushed!

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

Good, I am not the only one lol!

Right I don't know exactly how many I have read this year but here were some of my favourites, in no particular order (ooh I sound like a presenter on the X factor!) A Friend Like Henry by Nuala Gardner The Heart of the Dale by Gervase Phinn The Road by Cormac McCarthy A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie Spelling Mississippi by Marnie Woodrow Q and A by Vikas Swarup Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Black Swan Green by David Mitchell To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier The Girls by Lori Lansens Half of a Yellow Sun

Thanks to all my new friends:)

I will steer clear of that then lol!

Thanks I have just accepted you:)

Let me know what you think of it:)

If anyone wants to add me as a friend please do, its a.book.in.the.life I haven't a clue how to do it and maybe if I had friends it would encourage me to use it more:)

I have two main things. 1) Read books from my TBR pile to get that down a bit 2) Keep a more accurate record of books read and what I think about them. oh ok and 1 more 3) Keep things like librarything and my blog up to date- and stop letting my reading slide:)

I must keep my LibraryThing updated, I always forget I have it. Off now to have a look:)

I saw the film the other night and really want to read the book now! I love these types of stories and look forward to seeing how it differs from the film.

I really didn't enjoy this book, I read it years ago and keep thinking about trying it again to see if my opinions have changed but there are too many books in the world lol!

I must keep up my record of what books I have read, and own- I have bought a lot of duplicates this year:( I have read some great books this year, will compile my list later!

Hello and welcome!
