Self Challenge: Waste not, Want not - 2012

[Jud]

I just bought 4 more DTB today, only cost £5 though!

[Misha]

If you haven't heard of her check her out. There's a lot of stuff on her on the net, though most of her books are out of print. As for Katy I discovered "The High Chaparell" which I've got on Kindle. Haven't read it yet, though I did read "What Katy Did Next", "What Katy Did at School" and "Clover" when I was about twelve. And I loved them.

Anne of Green Gables = amazing!

Charity find?

[Misha]

Rosemary Sutcliffe anyone?

[Jud]

Yes! We have a huge charity book shop in Aberdeen it is piled from floor to ceiling with books. I got 2 there and 2 more in another charity shop called Bosies

[Elle]

Ooo very cool!

We used to have a charity book shop too but it was so out of the way most people didn't know it existed!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Finally finished the Adrian Mole book - dont know whether it is just cos things have been so hectic or not, but I really didn't enjoy it so it is going on the charity pile rather than on the shelf with the other Adrian Mole books. Not sure what paperback is to be read next, or how many there are now. Will have to have a count up once the housework is done.

[Misha]

Loved Anne of Green Gables and all the rest of the books about her.

[Elle]

I had I think 3 left to read (the last few she wrote) and I'll be done. Must read em soon.


Good going Desley :) i've never read any Adrian Mole books. Tbh, apart from the title I know nothing about them

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I have 32 paperbacks left to read. The one i am reading shouldn't take long as it is another Robbie Williams book and the third i have read this year so would be surprised if there is anything new!

[Elle]

;O! I take it your a fan then :P

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

YEah, just wish I hadnt decided to read them all in one year!!

[Elle]

Haha, yes, might of been better to spread them out more.

I don't think I've ever read a biography I enjoyed :S

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I've decided to change my December 'challenge' and I'm going to only read books I bought in 2011 to try and get them down - I am actually deleting a few, as quite a few were when I only had the Kindle app and I just downloaded random freebies!!

I'm really enjoying reading Goodreads authors this month, but not looking forward to reading paperbacks only next month - although I have promised a few reviews, and they can only be read on the Kindle.

[Elle]

You are definitely doing better than me Desley. I've been spending my time this Summer reading NEW books which just defeats the purpose of my challenge haha!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Another two paperbacks read, and part way through a third. Glad I have finally read my last Robbie autobiography, although interestingly, despite it being my third this year, I did find out a couple of new things about his childhood, and this was a fairly new one that covered the early part of his relationship with his wife.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Another paperbook down! No idea what number i am at tho

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Well my month of only reading paperbacks didn't go that well, although i suspected it wouldn't, as i had a lot on. Plus i think one of the reasons I have read so much this year is by reading two at once which i haven't been doing this month. Anyway, 30 paperbacks to go, might finish them this time next year!

[Elle]

Lordie, this thread is a source of shame now. I need to find time to read!!!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

:) I'd have done better if i hadn't kept going with a really boring book!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Just finished the last paperback I started in my month of paperbacks. Not sure how I will get on for the next couple of weeks, as the bedroom is being decorated and I doubt I am going to get much time to read.

[Elle]

Congrats Desley!

I'm reading strictly uni books at the minute until I get a good grasp on my schedule :)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Oh dear, just been given another 4 books - a Patricia Corn

[Patti (baconater)]

Which one Desley?

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Sorry, forgot to respond - it is The Front, published in 08 so not that new. I have read some of her non Scarpetta books. Another paperback down, 34 to go, don't think they'll be finished this year!
