  1. I have devoured another book over the last few days, Too Close to Home by Linwood Barclay. Started it on saturday night and finished it this morning, a gripping read with some lovely twists and turns. Highly recommended to all!

  2. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy many books this year. I've got a TBR pile as high as Everest. So here we are nearly at the end of February and I have bought 15 this year already I mean, there's a credit crunch on for goodness sake. :)

     

    My main problem is reading about so many good books on this forum - I can't stop checking them out and buying them.:D Is there a cure for my addiction??????:D:irked:

     

    Nope. lol. I am the same though however I have tried to hit the charity shops and Bookmooch more. The trouble is between here and LibraryThing there are too many books around. My local library is not very good unfortunately so I have to rely on other means lol!

  3. I read the book ages ago and really enjoyed it. Haven't sen the film yet so cannot comment on that.

     

    ditto and think after reading posts on here I won't make a special effort to see the film. I enjoyed the book and wouldn't want that ruined! I will wait a while to see the film and by then should have forgotten the main details of the book!

  4. I work in a school, so we usually mark the day by having people in to read/tell stories, and often we make a class book of some kind. It`s usually a fun day and the children, who are all special needs, all get something out of it. :blush:

     

    I am a teacher but we are having our WBD celebrations a week or so later as we have a special guest coming in to do workshops with the kids!

  5. Have finished The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende. Not sure what I am going for next.

     

    It took me ages to get into (about a week) but last night and today I devoured most of the book in one sitting. I think I had to get used to her style.

  6. Well, at the moment I do, but that is only because I was really bad the other day! I suppose I should amend that to "am I the only person on this forum who doesn't normally have a TBR pile? Normally, no, I don't. I got into the habit of only buying 1 book at a time & not buying anything else until that book was read. It originally came as a necessity about 7 years ago & is something I have just carried on doing.

     

    You are so good! As you can tell I am not so good:)
