Thank you. But don't expect the same amount in other months. I had more time to read in January, due to the virus I had, plus most of them were extremely untaxing, the kind you can really zip through.

I meant of course last month - it being the 1st. Feb. today. :-)

I'm clueless. I know we were busy but even so... And here we are well into the first week of February with the light beginning to change and Spring in the air. And as yet, no proper winter. I reckon it's there just around the corner. As you mentioned somewhere else the end of February can be quite harsh.

It's been a lot colder up here the last couple of days and we've had a few sprinklings of snow, so maybe . . .

Thank you very much. Oh, yes, I'm sure that mentally you are doing it.

I read two months worth in one month, I reckon. I don't expect that number again. Most of the books were zip through ones, really light reading, and I had more time to read and none of the problems and stresses you've had.

Oh, it's good to hear that P and I share the same taste in those books. I'm sure you'd enjoy them. They are easy reading and great fun, very relaxing too.

I think you read more when you're ill don't you? Somehow it feels like a lovely excuse to curl up with a comforting book.

My tbr pile is in danger of taking over the house. I'm eyeing up the dining room at the moment - the only room without a bookcase. It's full of J's stuff but when she moves out there'll be a nice spacious corner ready to be filled. ;-) Mind, I haven't told P yet. ;-))))))

You do indeed.

Oh, I do like your plans. Very sensible indeed. How clever of you, your secret is safe with me.

Heehee. I shall do that thing. And when I get into trouble afterwards I shall say, 'It's all J's fault'. ;-)))

ROFL.

I like it. I like it.

He's not here at the moment, but I'm sure he won't mind ;-)))

Expect to see more Inspector Morse as the year goes on. I have all the books and am working my way through them in publication date order.

So you like Morse too, I assume? I never knew that either *files away info about Chris*

Reading is always good. And now you are surrounded by books every day.

Oh, another couple of Gervase Phinn fans, that's good. Oh, less they are hilarious. I certain giggled my way through them.

I know but it's like being in a sweet shop and not having the chance to nibble the sweets. Seriously me shelving fiction takes ages because I get carried away reading the blurbs and thinking - oo this looks good...

And apparently what he describes happens all the time according to my mother (the tales she tells abotu the nursery kids).

I know the 'sweet shop' feeling ;-) Also, don't be worried if at some point you go through a hate the sight of bookshops or even lots of books, that happened to me. When you're with them day in, day out, you tend to go through a 'OMG, I never want to see another book again'. J used to despare, as I didn't want to go into second-hand bookshops for a while :-)

I know the feeling about reading the blurbs when shelving ;-)

It doesn't surprise me to hear that this kind of things happens all the time. Like the child who asked him to spell 'sex' for him, she was writing a story about a bug.

He kept suggesting things like cuddling, etc. and she was getting quite agitated, until the teacher came up and the child told her that she wanted to spell insects, but as she could do the 'in' part, she'd just asked the man to spell 'sex'. So she then turned to him and said 'you're not a very good speller, are you'?

And later, when one of her classmates is struggling she tells him, 'It's no good asking Mr. Phinn, he can't spell either'.

Oo I shall bear that in mind. I suppose it's like people who work in chip shops not liking the sight of chips. I can udnerstand why J would have despaired I can't imagine you without books.

LOL! Oh that's fantastic. Out of the mouths of babes...what do you do when facd with a question like that?

Reminds me of a case I heard where a little boy came into the library and asked for a book on nude fishing. When asked what it was for he said it was for his sister's college course. He meant nutrition. ;-)

Or people in chocolate factories. No, I can't imagine without books either (looks around home).

I know. It really made me chuckle and indeed, what do you do!

LOL. Oh, that's great too. I can see the face of the person who was asked.
