By the time you read this, my nightshifts will be underway.  I’ll probably just be waking up as this is posted – or at least I hope I’ll just be waking up if I’m going to have got enough sleep for me to be able to stay up all night again. This week has been really quite busy – and my brain has been quite frazzled – so there’s a lot of comics and graphic novels on this list.   This may continue next week because of nightshift brain, which as usual, means expect to see a lot of cozy crime and romance on this list next week!

A couple of books bought (two secondhand and two Ebooks), but nothing too bad really. I mean not compared to the last few weeks! I did treat myself to a new Kindle though…

Started the week going great guns, and then slowed to a halt – partly because of a family party on Saturday.  On the bright side I got to dress up as an extra from the Bronze and live out some Buffy-ish moments!

I bought rather a few books again.  Ooops.  But some came from the Barnes Booksale  – and were total bargains – and three ebooks as well.  Naughty Verity. Must do better!

Back at the coalface, back on the train and back in the hostel.  What more can I say!

Can you tell that I’ve been on holiday? I think you can….

I don’t think I actually bought any books this week – which is a minor miracle in itself.  I’m almost proud of me!

 

 A busy week of news and work. Honestly I wish it would just stop. It’s starting to feel a bit end of days to be honest.  Here’s hoping the world improves.

I may have bought a few Kindle John LeCarrés, but apart from that, well behaved. I’m also trying to make the Cartmel last because I’m really enjoying it!

 

I’m not that surprised I didn’t get much read this week – it was elections and I’ve been super busy with work and have done a lot of hours.  Hopefully this week will be more normal…

Yeah.  Quite a lot of books bought – two proper books at the lovely Big Green Bookshop after work on Saturday and five ebooks which were on various short term offers…

Not as much read as I wanted this week, but sometimes it goes like that – I’ve been super busy and I can’t see this week being any quieter, what with the election on Thursday.

Only one ebook bought so I’m counting that as a big success.  Fingers crossed I can keep that going…

 

I hate nightshifts.  My brain is totally frazzled.  Totally.  And that’s before you get to the events of this week.  It’s not been a good one.  So I’ve read lots of lovely romance.  Lots of it.
