You'll be fine! Don't worry and take your time!

Have you chosen your next book Nick?

Good luck Nick, note if you get stuck on certain letters I found wandering along the shelves at your local library a great way to find authors :-D

I joined our local library at Beccles so I can search their shelves for letters and I think if i get stuck the lady at the desk might help me out if I ask.
I went down my shelves on here and found that I have got a W Taken On Trust by Terry Waite (which is waiting on my bookcase and I found a Z on my shelves on GR by Markus Zusak which I am going to have to get.

Hi yvonne,

yes it is a interesting book about punctuation.

At last I have finished the lucifer code at last. Being at college didnt help though but now I have finished college and passed all five of my courses.

Well done Nick! See you soon too!

Congratulations on all your passes, you must be really pleased with your achievement.

Will some of them new books you brought today be going on here?

When into town on monday with mum, dad. My walking frame dragged me into Waterstones book shop, I tried with all my might to get out of the shop, the front wheel would jam-up every time I got near the door. In the I had to buy five books before my frame would let me out of waterstones book-shop.

I got,
Honour and sword by A. L. Berrigde, Dead Intent by Lynda La Plante, The Whisperers by John Connolly, Tick tock and 9th Judgement by James Patterson.

In the future I will not let my walking frame get the better off me and I hope its a WARNING to other walking frames uses to watch out that they can be very demanding at times.
:)

Your W.F. does seen to be a bit demanding, but it also seems to have very good taste when it comes to shops!!

Yes it has Susan it knows the shops wsith book in and it just draps me into. I can never stop it. lol!

LOL - great excuse! So nothing to do with you, whatsoever? A likely story!!!

It is true Liz, I even tried to hold onto a lamp post from being gragged into Waterstones shop but I just could not keep a good grip on the lamp post. Would you believe it was starting to bend and coming out of the ground too so I thought it would be safer if I let go.
No worries Liz I didnt get hurt Lol I just gave in to the great strength of my walking frame.
Howewver in the ordeal I got five good books.
Tick Tock and 9th Jugdement by James Patterson, The Whisteres by John Connolly, Deadly Intent by Lynda La Plante and Honour and the Sword by A. L. Berrisge .

Yeah right Nick, you're just like me, we both can't stay out of that shop! It does not help that it is right in the middle of town either.

I'm trying to catch up on Goodreads today and have just read all the posts on your thread Nick. I've had a real chuckle!! That walking frame of yours!! hahaha :o)) Seriously though, well done with college and I'm glad you're enjoying your challenge!

Nice one Nick.....lol. Previously I always thought that WWF was a dreadful form of TV entertainment that involves muscled oafs. Now I know it must stand for Wilful(or perhaps Wandering) Walking Frame.

Lol Ian

Nick....I've just been into town, and I've had the same problem with my shoes that you had with your W.F....same shop too....

lol susan it much be the shop

You have no retraint you lot! I have been to bookclub for a whole 2 hours in my local Waterstone's and not bought one book! How good is that?......................or it could have been that fact that the tills don't work after closing time! Lol!

Lol! Lyne you feel ok? hehe

Haven't got a local Waterstones but used to like Borders before it closed down....good coffee shop - not quite Friends or Frazier like but pretty good.

I would dearly love a book/coffee shop to open here, would be there every day. One thing I do hate, and forgive me if I offend someone, and that is screaming kids in the cafe when I just want to sit quietly and drink a nice coffee and read for an hour or two.

In complete agreement with you there Lynne, thankfully our new central library has the kids bit completely separate so no noise there and there are vending machine and armchairs, so nice comfy seat, tea and some biccies and god knows how many books on hand ready and waiting...heaven ;-D

As a mum - I know what you mean!!! Quiet havens are hard to find...

I know what you mean Lynne

I am soooo glad its not just me! As for your library Sam it sounds like heaven!

I was at the footie last night and there was a minute's silence for the 22nd anniversary of Hillsborough. Impeccably observed by 44,000 people except for a screaming baby 3 rows behind me. I mean, why would you take a baby to a football match anyway and particularly a night game that ends at 10pm......grrr

As another Mum, I am excellent at zoning out screaming kids!!

Mine are a bit too old for screaming now, more likely they'll be reading or and eating croissants...

I have yet to learn how to zone out recorder practice though! Any hints...

Snap the damn thing over your knee Em....it's the only way. You know it makes sense.

Hahaha! I used to feel like that and then my eldest son began to learn the trumpet.....now, that was a completely different problem!
