Books

I never was much of a reader that I can remember, well things were different in those days. In clearing my parent's last things from their house I notice what a lot of children's books. I never read them! Being the youngest for what ever reason I didn't seem to want to or perhaps they were books chosen by my siblings and me, in my bloody mindedness, would not read what they had chosen. Possibly not my genre anyway.
In my desperation to read the book I had seen that looked fascinating, and being told my YD that she had it and trolling through her books not seeing it. I went out and bought it. It cost £8.99 from water stones, I didn't get a stamp I had not spent £10 I was told! 
Anyway later on in the afternoon we, well I, decided to sort out YD's daughter's book case/cupboard. I always used to do this for her/ them when they were little when they were at school and  yesterday I did this mainly as the A level student had no room to put anything and because I knew she had all her school text books from Year 7 at the back of the book case that would make room. Also I had not tidied for possibly 5/6 years  (well must be because if year 7  things there it mst be almost that) So we had a good sort. And of course a fall out as we do not sort in the same way and I had taken over. Well in the end I had a large linen basket for paper recycling aka text books from year 7 and beyond..... And the said book which was hidden around the corner of the said book case/ cupboard. So I tried not to be cross and I like my copy better anyway  as it is a 20th edition. Yes 20th edition. It was written over 20 years ago where have I been! Well I now have the book and have read to chapter two. Exciting.
