Oops - I think I did it again

I may have forgotten to post again. (Bad Reading Addict!) To be fair, there was Christmas, much Christmas - and you all know how hectic that gets. On the plus side I got some muy awesomeful books for Xmas - City of Fallen Angels (Cassandra Clare,) some Darren Shan, and Clariel (Garth Nix.) You wouldn't think I was in my 20s, sigh.

I have finished The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins (which is a bit more grown up) - and what a very random book that is. I do recommend it though, but be prepared for 19th century battiness.

Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Reading!!!

Apologies from a reading addict

I didn't realise just how long it had been since I posted. My sincerest apologies, you find me a pitiful penitent for my unreasonable and wilful neglect of such an austere and momentous responsibility. I assure the fair and patient reader that I will do my utmost to ensure the avoidance of this woeful digression in the foreseeable future.

And that dear children is what you end up sounding like sometimes in internal monologue when you read as much 19th century literature as I do. In 21st century-ish speaky - Sorry, I'll try to post more often. I forgot.

True Confessions of a Reading Addict

Woke this morning to find my room smelling of old books - the result of a closed door and window in the night, combined with the heating being on now that the nights are colder. Not too much of a problem, but a little odd!

Places I am currently storing/stacking books include: two bookcases, a desk drawer, a few slotted on a desk shelf, two large storage boxes, under my bed, the bottom of my bed, and a very large pile that's looking more and more like a teetering Jenga tower/city to the side of my bed (next to a gigantic stack of magazines) - oops! Oh, and a few in the spare bedroom.
