Little Pixie Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 That's pretty good value, though my jaw still dropped slightly when I read the cost Mine too. Though it turns out to be 24 books instead of 23, so it really is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Mine too. Though it turns out to be 24 books instead of 23, so it really is a bargain. Definitely a bargain ! I have City of Bones on my TBR too, it's been there for a few years but I still haven't read it. One day though.. I hope you enjoy all your new books .

Kylie Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Twitter - EmergencyKittens I love this! Thanks for sharing. The cat with thong video is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. I never get sick of it. I just watched it about 20 times in a row and laughed until I cried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie H Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Emergency Kittens, they are so adorable! I have a board in Pinterest dedicated to kittens/puppies/other cute animals that I use for instant therapy, when life gets me down. It makes me smile or giggle uncontrollably every time I see these darlings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Love the cat vids! Oy, how do you find these things?! That particular one was recommended in an Oprah magazine, but usually, I follow one link, then another, then another... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That`s a good idea ; I have the Emergency Kittens and Oprah`s Breathing Space on my Kindle Fire, so I can look at them just before bedtime - it`s very cheering.

Little Pixie Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) I didn`t realise there was an Amazon.India. It`s always fun to see what`s popular in other countries. Edited July 8, 2016 by Little Pixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) .Article about someone trying the Marie Kondo method on their (gasp!) books. Spoiler - I`m not sure that someone who has less books in total than just my TBR books, has much of a book problem Edited July 11, 2016 by Little Pixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Agreed. But it's a great article in any case. She'd probably faint at our book collection, and Marie Kondo would undoubtedly go into cardiac arrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Agreed. But it's a great article in any case. She'd probably faint at our book collection, and Marie Kondo would undoubtedly go into cardiac arrest. Indeed ! My favourite bit of the article : Tsundoku, an untranslatable Japanese word that means “buying books and letting them pile up unread.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nice article ! For me, my books do spark joy. Admittedly there are maybe a few I don't care as much about - books I didn't like at all for example. But most of them are books that spark joy - whether read or unread - and I don't want to get rid of them. It'll be very hard once I eventually move out, to have to get rid of some of my books (I don't think they will all fit). I try not to think about it too much, because I find it depressing. I think I'll try to have quite a few piles around, as many as I can. I'll probably only have space for a few book cases at most. I like the word 'tsundoku'.

I'm planning to move house soon, and will likely be downgrading to a smaller place. Every single house I've looked at (online) doesn't seem to have nearly enough room for my books. It'll be one of the biggest challenges for me when house hunting. I'd be prepared to cull my collection a little, but not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Some rotten migraines for the last few weeks, which has slowed down my reading speed. I've amused myself listening to the small intricate world of gerald c potter . Ian Carmichael and Charlotte mitchell play husband and wife novelists . And theres a cat,too. Lovely radio plays.

Thank you ! the weather's stopped being so heavy and is now hot and sunny, which has helped with the icky sinuses, I think. Supposed to be 31C here on Tuesday, which is really high for here.
