Believe it or not although this card looks very simple, it took ages to do - trying to find the right balance of shelf and the right sort of books and then cutting the books out. Hard to see in the picture but they stand out on foam pads. So, it's not always the full and fancy cards you see take the longest at times. Surprising eh? So todays subject is books.
I am quite an avid reader and probably spend way too much on buying books - and I have a library ticket too, which I should use more I know. I was in the Works the other day and they were offering half price books and 4 for 3. Usually they are pretty rubbishy titles but I perused and pondered and for £2.95 I got these. Two of them are hardback too. Must be a bit sad to write a book, see it in print and then find that it is going for 99p. What a bummer. I normally read crime, thriller type books, but this year thought I would re-read some classics and try other genres. Have re-read "To Kill a Mockingbird" again, and "Of Mice and Men". Did them at school many moons ago along with Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and some of the other solid classics. Whether I stick it to it or not I will let you know!!
Good for you getting a bargain - The Works is always great for offers like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" at the mo - it's fab..... Have you read it - I'd reccommend it.
I read crime too - went through a Martina Cole phase a few years ago but I find her books are all the same now. I love a good autobiography too, but by someone who isn't just 'out of nappies'. My fav so far is Micheal Caine (the first one).
Loving the book card - do you think you could make one for my mate Judi (school lirarian - hehe). She'd love it.... Her birthday isn't til June so plenty of time.
