Extreme Ironing

I felt very proud of myself when I released my copy of Extreme Ironing behind some fitted sheets in the linen section of John Lewis. I feel even better now it’s on its way to South Africa! I think I’m addicted to BookCrossing…

Fame at last!

Two of my BookCrossing releases have ended up in an article in the Telegraph!

Anna Karenina

I finally managed to finish Anna Karenina last week after about four months of reading. It takes me so long to read a book as the only time I seem to get (or, rather, make for myself) to read is my daily commute on the tube. However, that didn’t put me off tackling something the size of Anna Karenina and I’m very glad – the book is an absolute delight.

The Barrytown Trilogy

I’ve just finished reading the absolutely fantastic Barrytown Trilogy by Roddy Doyle.

Cheap books

I recently came across AddAll.com, a wonderful site for finding book bargains. You simply give it a title, author, ISBN code or keyword, tell it where you want the book shipped to and what currency to display and it does the rest! It even searches areas such as Amazon Marketplace for second-hand bargains. If only someone could integrate this with eBay, I’d be all set.
