An announcement and books

[lizziec]

First of all, Congratulations to my very first boyfriend, bonadish who has just got engaged! I'm keeping 2009 free for you sweetie ;)

Secondly I'm in a bit of a quandry when it comes to books. This doesn't often happened, but I've been a bit overwhelmed of late as benc brought me 3 books from Girls Gone By Publishers so yesterday 3 new Chalet School books I've never read before arrived (Jo to the Rescue, Joey and Co in Tyrol, Challenge for the Chalet School). In addition to this, mum lent me "Blood, Sweat and Tea" by Tom Reynolds (of Random Acts of Reality). As a result of this I'm feeling rather spoilt for choice. I normally have two books on the go at once but four is rather overkill, even I admit that.

I think I've solved the problem for now. I'm reading Reynolds book at night cos it's more episodic and much easier to stop when I'm tired, and the Chalet School books in series order during the day. Hopefully there are enough days left of my holiday to read them all before I go back.

Still, better to have too much book choice than not enough!

Ahhh the what book to read next syndrome.

I have an awfull time at present as there is a huuuuge stack of books waiting for me. Of course what does not help is that we keep popping into jumble sales/fetes/coffee mornings etc etc and picking up a couple here a couple there at around twenty pence a book.

At the moment I am reading Watership down, I was going to read a Iain Rankin or a Michael Dobbs or or or.

Good job I do not watch much telly really - oh shit we have Season 2 of 24 to watch this weekend.
