Ceinwenn Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Just figired out where it is! I have been sitting here wracking my brain - I lived in Stratford for 18 months & loved it! If memory serves me correctly, it's right on the corner just before you head down Henley Street, which is the street you head down to get to Shakespeare's birthplace. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 hmm I can't remember noticing it. I didn't go down that street often though, I will have to look out when/if I go back Quote
Ben Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I just pick what I fancy! Can't go wrong with that. Quote

Is there anywhere you haven't lived??? I just pick what I fancy! Quote
Nici Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Review books first, then anything I fancy. Quote
Nollaig Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Review books first, then anything I fancy. I've been lucky, I've fancied both my review books I'm going ploughing through the second one today (HOW did Michelle not like it? ) and I dunno what I'm going reading then... I have about 10 to choose from Quote
Kate Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 For me it is review books and bookrings first, then everything else - however it seems to keep growing however much I read Quote
Ceinwenn Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Is there anywhere you haven't lived??? I've never lived in N.I.! Quote
Ben Mines Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 In descending order of appeal, which I don't recommend, because the task becomes progressively more laborious. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 You must have great will power to not just skip to the one that sounds best! Quote
bookworm44 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Most of the time I can't resist starting a new book that I bought. Otherwise I just pick according to my mood. Edited February 7, 2009 by bookworm44 Quote
supergran71 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I have just typed out my list of every single book I have that I haven't yet read. 45 of them!!!! I didn't think there were that many (holds head in hand). That means I can't buy any more books for ages!!!! Quote
Nollaig Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I have more than 20 waiting to be read. Quote
Andaira Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I started out reading from the first book in my TBR pile, doing down in order. Now, every time I find a new book that interests me and that I've listed towards the end of the pile, that's what I start reading first . Considering how large my TBR pile has gotten, who knows when I'll get to the first books I listed. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Mine only has about 3 and they're all ones my Mum lent me as I couldn't get as far as the bookshop until about a week ago and I haven't had a chance yet Quote
Wonders disciple Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Pretty much at random, although new books always seem to grab my attention first. Quote
Scarlette Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Ah, the TBR pile.... *glances at it and winces* I have recently developed the terrible habit of buying new books even though I have several - read 10 - that I haven't yet read. Which only results in the pile getting bigger and myself getting more anxious about making time to actually read them. But, before I digress too very much: I generally pick whatever catches my fancy at first glance. Also, I am guilty of judging books by their covers, so that's one of the methods I sometimes use to decide which of the pile I'll read first. Quote
Kell Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 That's how it starts, Scarlette - it's a slippery slope from there and before you know it you'll have 50 or 60 waiting... Quote
Freewheeling Andy Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Mine always was, literally, a pile by the bedside. If it has ever threatened to exceed bedside-pile space I stopped acquiring books until it was depleted back down to a managable level again. Quote

If it has ever threatened to exceed bedside-pile space I stopped acquiring books until it was depleted back down to a managable level again. Thats a clever idea. I'll never manage it. Anyway, I have no bedside table. I have a headboard that is also two shelves. And they're not full yet Quote
Jack Dawkins Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 I have just typed out my list of every single book I have that I haven't yet read. 45 of them!!!! I didn't think there were that many (holds head in hand). That means I can't buy any more books for ages!!!! I have over 100 to be read but I'll keep buying because they dont go off! and also books seem to go out of print a lot quicker these so I feel I've got to strike while the irons hot(if I can afford it that is) oh and I love second hand book shops/sites,I'm just doomed to buy books I guess.

Rawr Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I'm not a messy person, but when it comes to books... it's a different story. Right now i have a book pile of organised chaos... well, several. My actual bookcase is in another room and i have books stacked everywhere. I keep bringing them in when i've finished and now there are many dotted around my desk, across the floor and even in the bed LOL! I just look around and grab whatever takes my fancy and read. It's quite hectic. Quote
Nollaig Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Oh, my Roxi..... you are doomed! Even your bed is made of bookshelves! Indeed! Quote
