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!

I Capture The Castle #TheYearInBooks

Wow. I'm doing not bad on the reading front. 
Certainly joining with Laura and her Year in Books has got me back into reading. 
Very grateful!

So my last book was not what I thought at all!! I think I thought it was this! LOL!
My choice - Destinations turned out to be a selection of short stories. 
Perfect for getting back into reading!

So this morning I perused my messy bookcase.......
& chose I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith, which I have been meaning to read for a long time!
Preferably whilst lounging in bed!

Hopefully I will finish before the end of the month this time!

What are you currently reading?
Why not join in with Laura?
