(no subject)
I'm faling miserably, I am actually reading less that I usually do although it doesn't look to bad when I write it down.
This year so far I have read Shanghai Baby (Wei Hui), The Dirty Bits for Girls by India Knight, The Boleyn Inheritance (Philippa Gregory) and The Catcher in the Rye (JD Salinger) and I have started The Diary of Anne Frank (Anne Frank) and The Looking Glass Wars (Frank Beddor).
Anyway I was going to post to give you some nice links, not to bore you, so here they are!
readitswapit - For people in the UK only. I have been using this for a year, you basically swap a book you don't want for one that you do. I have gotten lots of brand new books from here! It only costs you about £1to post your book.
literaturemap - You type in the name of an author you like and it gives you a "map" of "What else do readers of Charles Dickens (for example) read?". I thought it was quite clever.
