I've only read about 8 of them, but give me to the end of the week and I'll cover the rest.


Right just to check you have read them, I would like you to post at least 1000 words on the narrative voice and themes of each book.

oh bollox to that I only read the blurb and look at the pictures. That counts doesn't it?

And how many of them were total crap?

Don't try this at home was rubbish and No one takes my children got on my nerves. If they are total crap I stop reading them and don't list them. Maybe I should make a list of the books I didn't read

I am WELL impressed with your bookreading capabilities......the last thing I read was the Evening Express

Felicity it's called not having a life and nothing to be proud of m'dear

Knew you read a lot HC but

That is absolutely amazing!

Don't encourage her Jezi and Felicity. She is only reading so much as she is trying to outdo me.

if you keep that up, that will be over 120 books by the end of the year

i'm lucky if i read one book a month

The me and ellie thing is all done in good humour. Ellie is definatley more well read than me and it seems that every book I post about on here she has read hence me posting my list. I do read loads yes, but hardly watch tv or do any housework

Thats a library full, altho your local one is prolly empty

Me either and as I am bone idle and not even working like the lovely HC, I have even more time to read.

ellie I know you take it seriously I was trying to play down how sad you are

If I didn't work that list would be double that I'm sure!

Have to say, I don't think it's something you should be embarrassed of. There are a lot worse things you could spend your time doing.
