I agree with you and Frugal in Bucks. As a child I read myself to sleep most nights, my Mum would have to remove my specs, pick my book up and turn off my light. I did a shop yesterday and whoops a copy of Paul Hollywood,s book "How to Bake" jumped into my hands. Now I have been baking since I was tiny, with my Granny, I have stacks of cook books and this was a want not a need. I make no excuse but for £9 I will get more pleasure dipping in and out of this than I would a years supply of glossy magazines. I will have hours of fun baking and my dog will have lots of walks as I burn of the calories Win Win.
Coincidentally I am also me, my name is almost Su (Suzy) and I too am a bookaholic. Kev - I learned to read when I was 4, I wish I kept a list of everything I've read since then, must be a fair bit in 54 years!
The book one made me laugh. Whenever my mum asked me to do something as a child, I,always used to say, "Just let me finish this page"
ReplyDeleteI'm also a bookaholic. I'd love to have a count up one day and see how many I own!

ReplyDeleteThe book cartoon is spot on and made me smile. Me and my son, 13, are bookaholics too.
