January books

HAPPY BIRTHDAY yourebrilliant! You are, you know! I hope that the present fairies have been suitably generous and the cake is astonishingly large! (And I am hoping you notice this in about eight hours, by which time it will be Feb 1 in Scotland, too!)

One of my plans for this year is to keep track of books read. A sensible person would have kept a record as she went. Please pass on my best wishes and admiration to all such people should you know any*! Instead, attempting to reconstruct from the Kindle and the pile beside my bed just waiting for a spot of shelving, I think it went something like this:


( 12 books, mostly rereads, it's summer here, my brain is melty! )

I was going to finish with a short discussion on Kindle v book, but I started a new programme at my gym today (since I am poor, I am using my time in pursuing greater fitness so things aren't a total write-off. And I'd already paid the gym fees, so I may as well use them to their maximum benefit!) Alas, despite being able to ride a bike and walk quickly up steep hills until the cows come home, squats and tricep exercises have left me feeling as though I have spent three days riding a camel. Radox bath it is!



* I exaggerate for comedic effect, rumpleghost alone would give my online peer group a good reputation for organisation! Which means ... oh cock, I'm the entertainingly disorganised second cousin in this story, aren't I?
