I will link up with yours. <br />Turning 50 wasn't too bad for me, what I'm freaking out about is turning 60 in just 2 years. Although I still in many ways feel like I did at 30, 40, etc. I think its just the number that is scary? but then I look in the mirror and wonder who the old lady is looking back at me - lol. The older a woman gets the more maintenance of keeping up her looks is required and in my case I can't see to put eye makeup on since I wear glasses.<br />Oh well guess just thankful to still be alive :)JANNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036465250225794718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-84182537029029650132011-01-19T05:36:46.165-08:002011-01-19T05:36:46.165-08:00I loved your tip on coming in out of the cold...pr...I loved your tip on coming in out of the cold...priceless!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009418311664981767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-1362754805839107402011-01-18T14:36:55.791-08:002011-01-18T14:36:55.791-08:00No I haven't read anything of hers either,thou...No I haven't read anything of hers either,though I'm going to put her on my list.I have a pile of books on my bedside table waiting to be read.I have an iPad but still prefer a real book any day.Northern Snippethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207173438875166390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-72235378600173928022011-01-18T06:52:52.425-08:002011-01-18T06:52:52.425-08:00I am sleeping with Rushdie at the moment.............I am sleeping with Rushdie at the moment........... he hasn't even noticed I am there..... story of my life.......menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-31882275947837871142011-01-18T04:47:01.221-08:002011-01-18T04:47:01.221-08:00I don't think Ive done Beryl either - I'll...I don't think Ive done Beryl either - I'll add her to my list. Hubby and I used to be bog readers BC (before children). We used to spend hours in bookshops and loved it when they started to introduce coffee shops into them (like on "ELLEN"). We now buy all our books from the local charity shop for 60p paerback or £1 hardback - we have thought of reselling these on Amazon!xxxDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-14405197941185144772011-01-17T16:51:50.270-08:002011-01-17T16:51:50.270-08:00I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember if...I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember if I've read any Bainbridge or not....I prob did at Uni millions of years ago - I'll have to look out for some of hers in charity shops /the Library / Amazon for 0.01p....We live not far from Hay - plenty of bookshops there....but generally a dying breed, sadly.

The original cost wasn't too bad, hence my decision, but by the time the longshormen in Seattle got their hands on the boxes, the hidden costs started piling up like London buses at rush hour. I could have bought the books over here 3 times over and kept a small bookshop in business for a few more years.Wally Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992375461165449990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-90913474476787135442011-01-17T15:48:18.479-08:002011-01-17T15:48:18.479-08:00Dear Jo, I think Beryl is the perfect way to distr...Dear Jo, I think Beryl is the perfect way to distract yourself from this incessant rain. I had a bit of a run on Ebay yesterday buying all sorts of ridiculousness that I really don't need!<br /><br />I've never read her books either, only articles and documentaries (I particularly loved the one her grandson did for BBC4) I think I would have got on with her too, she was quite a character.<br /><br />I love reading Dickens but I don't think I'll ever give War and Peace a go.<br /><br />I'm the same - I used to spend hours in bookshops and now it's buy with one click at Amazon. I always try and buy secondhand as it's much greener, although I won't buy the ex library ones for some reason.<br /><br />Hope all's well, love C xxChristina @ Fashion's Most Wantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583201549332262341noreply@blogger.com
