Charity Shop Finds

I am determined to become more frugal. In lots of areas of my life. One such area I want to address is the ease with which I click 'add to basket' on Amazon for books I have read reviews on.

 It's so easy isn't it once you have in-putted your details? You don't even have to have your debit card with you, click click!

So, I had a lovely morning strolling around my local charity shops perusing the book shelves. I was hoping to bag The Girl on the train, but unlucky! I have set myself a little challenge NOT to buy it - ha! I also should start visiting my local library......

Today I came home with these two books - A Street Cat Named Bob which is on my Amazon wish list and Body Surfing by Anita Shreve not on my list, but I really enjoy her books.

Both look brand new and unread - a pound each! Less than postage! :-)

 Thanks for dropping by!
I will be posting again soon!

The Great Gatsby

Despite being a prolific reader I have never got around to reading many of the Classics. The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald, being one of the great American classics.

The 'blurb' reads - The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.

Of course everyone knows the eagerly awaited film is out on the 16th of May (I will definitely be heading to Vue Cinema), so I ordered myself a copy from Amazon & need to set to and read it quickly. It's only 115 pages long so hope to finish by Sunday - if I can escape for a few hours!

 Who knows, I might just start to tackle other unread classics languishing on my bookshelf :-)
