  1. The best doggy character I have come across recently was Bailey and his other pseudonyms in A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron, he is repeatedly reborn as a puppy in order to fulfil his purpose in life, a perfect doggy book for dog lovers!! (Can't believe there are no doggy emoticons, who do I complain to... )
  2. I have White Fang waiting on my kobo to read in the next few weeks hopefully. I'm a big fan of wolves so I'm hoping in portrays them in a good light..
  3. Oh we did too, particularly the laptop moment!!! Closest i've come to wetting myself for many many years!!!
  4. Hi poppy, I don't know if this link will work, it's off Waterstone's pic today on Facebook which is showing colour coordinated bookshelves!! (Not as nicely done as yours though... photo.php
  5. Still not very attractive but larger and better stocked is Camberley library which is about a 10 minute drive from me, I have a friend who recently started working there.. lucky thing!
  6. Well. I'll try and keep the ball rolling... this is a pic of our village library, it was a temporary building built about 20 years ago and it has been under threat of closure for the last few years. Thankfully it survived the last cuts which is brilliant as it serves a lot of our elderly villagers who cannot manage to get to the bigger towns (which don't have bus stops or car parks very close to them - and books can be heavy, especially for the old folks!) I try to pop in at least once a week, even if it means borrowing books I'll never read, just so the authorities know I'm using it!!! It is very small, probably 20 x 20 feet but it also has a little ante room at the back that can be used for meeting, coffee mornings and the odd little kids party. We have two librarians who take it in turns to come from the main libraries who are just lovely and an integral park of the library experience, they'll always help you with any bookie problems or if anyone needs helps on one of their computers (they have two!!) It's not the most aesthetically pleasing building but at least it has books in it.. This is the best pic I can find online.. Oh, and I should have mentioned the opening hours (or lack of them!) It is only open Tuesday afternoons for 3 hours, then friday for 3 hours in the morning and the afternoon, then for another 3 hours on Saturday mornings... but most people know when to go and they do have a 24 slot for returns if the library is not open..
  7. I just spent half an hour googling Sheldon quotes, I really should watch the show more...
  8. Just wow!!
  9. Thanks frankie
  10. It's Complicated (again).. So so funny!!!!
  11. I downloaded a classic from there today, very straightforward, but the site is a nightmare to navigate, for me anyway! Epubbooks.com is pretty good..
  12. Ah, thanks Chesil, that's a long time to wait, I wonder if he's even written it yet?!
  13. Do u have any details about its title and release Eleanora?
  14. Zazu was beautiful, she looks like she had a lovely gentle soul.
  15. I've only just started number 7, and there's been no huge or slow reads yet so the average will go down at some point I'm sure.
  16. It was great Noll, overflowing with wolfie info and love!!
  17. Thanks Bree and BB! About time we saw some snow pics of Reuben don't you think BB?
  18. Ah, I should have gathered that from the picture!!
  19. Sunshine (I wish!!)
  20. Butter (Are we back to normal now?... )
