I agree about the meme, too much hard work. Apparently it was adapted from the TV meme I've seen around: Day 12, a book we've watched??

I haven't seen that TV one. Dickens?

No, I'm pretty sure it should have said 'a book you have read more than five times'. This is the TV meme

It was fun! Only am still disappointed about the lack of really good biscuits and chocolate - Waitrose in league with my scales :)

Waitrose is the UK's most up-market supermarket. It's said that when Waitrose move into an area, the place is on the way up. This is already a highly desirable place to live, but we have lacked a decent supermarket.
