Fallen Off the Wagon

The photo of the books in my header shows a selection of my bookshelf and the ones with the blue spots mark the unread books. There are hundreds of them! I moved house two months ago and the removalist struggled to lift all the boxes of books and because I felt bad I decided to stop buying books for two months, May and June. Now it is July, I have been book shopping twice and have seven new books to add to the shelves (and decorate with blue dots!). Seven books and it is only the 4 July.... It would have better to restrict myself to buying 2 books a month instead of stopping altogether. Now I am like an alcoholic. Once I have the taste/pleasure of buying books, I cannot stop.

I have read one of my new purchases - a children's book called Just Macbeth by Andy Griffiths. It was a lot of fun, and a quick read. Now my children are grown up I don't really have a good excuse to buy children's books but every now and then I can't resist.
