I'm glad that you stumbled upon my blog.<br /><br />I have HUNDREDS of books of my own still to read (I am not exaggerating...) and yet I still have the huge pile of library books. My problem is that I become too distracted by the idea of a particular book and HAVE to read it and then by the time my hands are on it my attention has usually been taken up by something else! At least attempting to borrow these whims from the library allows me to make a dent upon my own collection rather than adding to it.<br /><br />I am sad to hear of your disappointment in the new Sarah Waters; it is being shipped to me as we speak. I was disappointed by <I>The Night Watch</I> and yet I am hopeful about this one but I am doubtful that it could possibly live up to the anticipation that I myself have created ...Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-59474713958512584002009-05-28T11:54:42.218+01:002009-05-28T11:54:42.218+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-71831219201021380932009-05-28T11:05:49.969+01:002009-05-28T11:05:49.969+01:00I have just stumbled on your blog, and love your p...I have just stumbled on your blog, and love your posts about library loot and your eyes being bigger than your stomach! I have the same problem - I have over 50 books of my own waiting to be read, and about 20 library books (I sneakily have my partner's card too), and I still pop into the library ever few days!<br />We like some of the same books too - I'm a big Persephone fan - but I have to say I was disappointed by the latest Sarah Waters...verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-1970756690188818652009-05-27T11:17:56.353+01:002009-05-27T11:17:56.353+01:00Ana, that edition of We Have Always Lived in the C...Ana, that edition of <I>We Have Always Lived in the Castle</I> is being published in October so I can see myself reading it for Carl's RIP challenge.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-10239367700558019532009-05-26T22:40:45.413+01:002009-05-26T22:40:45.413+01:00We Have Always Lived in the Castle is AWESOME.

I managed to do it for one of them and reviewed it here:<br /><br />http://paperbackreader2.blogspot.com/2009/03/private-experience.html<br /><br />I'm not sure why <I>Why We Have Always Lived in the Castle</I> appeals to me so much but it really does... I'm intrigued and I have read positive blog reviews in the past.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837109525874407713.post-15653744150775078562009-05-26T18:10:32.057+01:002009-05-26T18:10:32.057+01:00I'm looking forward to reading We have always live...I'm looking forward to reading We have always lived in a castle too!<br /><br />I enjoyed The Little Stranger and The Thing Around Your Neck too.
