March 6, 2010 Leave a comment

February was a slow month for books for me, I had a few other things on but I tried my best, heh.

Read in January:

4. 24/01/10 – Blue Collar – Danny King
5. 31/01/10 – Brave New World – Aldous Huxley

Read in February:

6. 01/02/10 – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
7. 14/02/10 – Just After Sunset – Stephen King
8. 24/02/10 – Third & Heaven – Ben Patrick Johnson
9. 26/02/10 – Belle Du Jour’s Guide to Men – Belle Du Jour

I’ve a bit behind if I want to real my goal of 100 books this year, but I’ve actually been doing some really fun stuff so I don’t mind so much :)

On the 101 in 1001 side of things, I have crossed two more off my list.

28. Find and shoot film for both my old cameras Completed 2010
Actually, I only managed to find film for the Fuji Instax 200, but I sold my Becini Comet and threw away the Kodak Instamatic that I bought for £3 in the charity shop because really, I was never going to use it.

33. Buy at least one new lens for the DSLR Completed January 2010
Okay, technically this one is a cheat too, as I am yet to purchase any glass that will work with the DSLR, however, I did buy my first lens for the 35mm SLR, so I’m going to count this one as completed too. (Give a girl a break, it’s been a tough month.)
I’ve also updated the book list page here if anyone is interested to know how I’m getting on with my challenge of reading 100 books in 2010 :)

Books, Books & More Books

The delectable Miss Marks monitored how many books she’s read last year and racked up a whopping 140. I’m a bit of a vorocious reader, and she’s inspired me to do the same this year.

I am always thankful to have a local library – without which I’d probably have to choose between books and buying food, in which case I would always be starving.

I’ve added my list to the top tab bar, above, and plan to do a monthly round up for any new additions.

If you have any recommendations, feel free to leave a comment – and if you want me send me any books then all donations are gratefully received ;)
