Hi Jenem, I've just posted to Sugarz welcome and the ruined book lent to the girl at work was Vernon God Little!! More devastating because it is a great read! It's not heavy going but has a lot of things in there to make you think about how the world always looks for a scapegoat. A real...

Hi Sugarz! I'm relatively new to here too, it's great finding this place isn't it?! Talking about lending books out.... most of my books are bought new and read carefully, I'm always going on about books being precious! But I don't usually mind lending them out, gives me an excuse to hang...

I'm exactly like that! Always planning what I'm going to read next while I'm half way through a book! I'm from Leicestershire btw :) ThursdayNext

Well I get round that problem easily... you see if there's a 'three books for the price of two' offer, I find one book that's on my list and of course it would be criminal not to take the opportunity of a free book so then I give myself licence to buy anything else I like the look of, which...

I found this site yesterday and I couldn't agree with you more! But it's great to know we're not alone.... and I enjoy counting the books on my list and watching the numbers grow! I keep lists of books too that I want etc but I usually find that my mental list kicks in when I walk into a...

I don't need much of a reason to buy books either! I'm one of those 'boxes of books in the loft' people. I try not to worry about how many books I've bought that I haven't read yet.... but my excuse is that I like to be able to choose what I will read next!! I think if I stopped buying books...
