I need to add the latest 75 titles and will tweet the link.<br /><br />Happy Reading!Susan Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253437044745874795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-13062628755994876052010-03-29T08:24:46.459+11:002010-03-29T08:24:46.459+11:00When the original 50 (errr.. 49) popular Penguins ...When the original 50 (errr.. 49) popular Penguins came out I bought every single one, determined to read every one.<br />I'm six in, eighty to go. I also found I wasn't reading so much between iPhone mini-games and uke practice and the dreaded bane-of-my-existence TV.<br />I too, recently started reading again. Can't quite get a book in a weekend (4yo + 1yo) but a book a week is pretty good for me now.<br /><br />75 more popular penguins!

Now I may have just bought books by Sylvia Plath, Cecelia Ahearn, received free copies of 'The Happiness Project' and 'Still Midnight' all whilst getting stuck into another novel I'm reading on my laptop, but your rec has me surfing over to Amazon to buy SK's as well. I realise that I am most assuredly a glutton for punishment.Anj and Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559821447701440131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-77981059848994559032010-03-23T11:38:50.507+11:002010-03-23T11:38:50.507+11:00@Allison Rushby - have you read The Mitford Girls ...@Allison Rushby - have you read The Mitford Girls - doorstop of a book about the lives of the 'gels' and a cracking read.

Almost got a book out of me. (Also, if you <i>do</i> find the "miracle that will magic a book out of thin air," don't even think about keeping it to yourself!) =>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
