These are not dust covered paperback but as crisp as those in Borders. I'm tempted to go back for a second round but too broke!!!
just what i need!!!! i was just dreaming of a warehous sale this weekend.
I was just reading your post on Louis L'Amour dated the 13th of April, in which you included his reading list...and the only book that I have read, sadly, seems to be A Woman Of No Importance by Oscar Wilde.
I am a bibliophile too - I love your blog by the way; it's really informative! - and I was wondering whether you could recommend any books for teenagers?
I am aware that there are many good books sold in bookshops, but I'm kind of confused about which books I should read...and prices are going ridiculously high now.
Thank you!
hi lynn - really nice to hear from you. i think the thing about louis l'amour's list (and the reason i posted it) is that it shows how much a writer should read and how broadly
i think a lot of people feel as you do, lost when they go into a bookshop. what's good? what's not? what should i be reading?
i really do feel that bookshops, libraries and teachers have a responsibility to help young people find their way through
i will try to find some good lists of teen fiction for you and post them
will we be seeing you at the spoken word gig at food foundry? ;)
oh yes. how can i not come and cheer you on?
bookfetish - Wow! Thanks for the info!... I'm rushing over there today. Weird, Big Bookshop in Atria is the LAST place I think about when it comes to buying books (if you know what I mean)
should be the first!! ... i just staggered back with 2 bags full. too exhausted to blog at the moment. but no need to rush - it's on till end dec and much of the stock is till in boxes. nothing is going to run out.
