My library is brilliant. There is usually something I can find that I want to read.

I rarely buy books these days.

I have library books at the minute.

I am just starting to read the Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella, and I have to say all through the first book I find myself saying 'you need an IVA'. I have read these books before but it was before I was in debt. And I have to say, this time I am reading it very differently now I know how desperate things can get sometimes. x

I went into WHSmith the other day and I couldn't believe how much they were charging for books. I hadn't been in there for a couple of years, but blimey, the prices have gone up, And in Waterstones.

I like to have a mooch about in The Works as they sell books cheap. and also charity shops. But more than anything I love the smell of the library. x

The only time I tend to have new books is if someone buys them for Christmas!

I have recently bought two new Bill Bryson books (think he is great) from Amazon, but vouchers I earned through surveys paid for those.
