I may have stopped breathing

I just went for 48 hours without reading a single page of a single book. I do not remember the last time this happened. You will be pleased to know I have checked. I am still alive. I am happy about this!!

The Void

I have been reading, just not blogging about it! My train reading is fairly complex and I am loving the story but it takes concentration so I am reading it slower then I normally do. My home reading has been all over the place. I have read a few Cathy Cassidy books that the girls have given to me. The big two are loving them and if the girls love a book they give it to me because I just have to read it too! They are good :) Plus I have been re-reading a number of the Abbey Girl books after doing the last review. I haven't reviewed all these. I will at some point, but I read them every year, often two or three times so that can wait! I have also been reading a new adult book that I am not finding very absorbing so I am just taking my time. Stay tuned for new reviews!

I love a good book sale! But .....

Borders has a massive book sale on at the moment! Usually this would make me really happy, but having Borders closing down and going into the shop that was half empty was just sad. The fact they were playing sad music probably didn't help either.

I did get a couple of books today, including a birthday present for Miss Aimee, but not that many. Most of them were still more then I can buy them for second hand. I am going back next week though. Yes, I feel a little like a vulture, or a seagull, but if the store is going to go anyway, I feel it is my duty to support it to its last breath.

My name is Catherine and I am a Bookaholic

This really says it all! I love to read. I am not actually convinced there has been a day in my life in the last 25ish years where I have not read at least one page of at least one book. Usually it is a more. I read on the train on the way to work, before I go to sleep. I sometimes slip in a few chapters before getting out of bed, in the ads if I am watching tv or if I am stuck waiting somewhere.

I read all sorts of books and I have been known to boast that I have at least one book from every genre. This might not actually be true. I guess it depends on what sort of genres you can come up with! This said, some genres I like more then others as I am sure will become apparent.

Just in case you don't believe me here are some of my bookshelves scattered around the house.





And yes I do mean some. These were just the ones that were easily accessible and didn't look too messy! Clearly I also like ornaments and photos.

So ... stay tuned for more posts and reviews on what I have just read (or in many cases re-read).
