Just finished 'On Beauty' by Zadie Smith. I really enjoyed it but I think a lot of it was down to the fact I work in a university and this is where the majority of the book it set! I've read White Teeth as well but that was ages ago so I can't remember is they were that similar.

I don't think I'm being overly critical with my scoring - I just think that book have to be great in many different ways to 'earn' 5/5!!

I am trying to convince my husband that I NEED to go and see the Mousetrap. One day he will take the hint....

I've already started to get through my tbr pile. I'll do a quick update seeing as we are now in a new month!

I can read almost anywhere but I try not to read in bed because I can usually only manage a page before I fall asleep! Got to have a cuppa while I'm reading to keep me going. If I know I'm going to have a quiet moment or two in the day I'll always pop my book in my bag just in case... The more battered and creased the better I think for my books - surely if the spine is creased it is a symbol that you have read the book? I hate borrowing books from people who like to keep their books pristine, it means I cant take them in the bath!

Thanks Vodkafan - I'll check it out now. MrsM

I have taken great pleasure in writing down all the books I have read for the last 10 years or so. So imagine my pleassure when I discovered this website!! After studying for a large part of 2008 and 2009 (but not having curbed my book buying habit!) I have fallen behind on my reading. Well here goes...here is my 2010 reading blog...
