This is the first novel I’ve bought in years! After giving away a few hundred books when I moved last summer, I honestly thought my book buying days were over (other than for cookbooks and books on sherry). But then on the recent anniversary of Terry Pratchett’s death I came across a conversation on Twitter about this, his final, book, and decided I had to have it. And who knows? I might even read it. It’s hard to believe that I used to read a book a week. Now I spend all my reading time on the iPhone…
What’s the last book you bought?

The last physical book I bought was Bill Bryson’s At Home, which was pretty heavy, even as a paperback, and was the book that prompted me to buy my kindle. I mainly read at night and this was a two-hander!
So now my books are electronic. I’m currently reading an autobiography and there are no photos. I do miss paper books, but I love more the fact I carry the complete works of Shakespeare & Dickens around in my handbag, as well as whatever I’m currently reading.
I read The Shepherd’s Crown a couple of years ago, I had to wait for it to be available on kindle. It was the last one on the discworld list and I remember being sad reading it, knowing it was the last one he wrote.

It’s sitting on my bookcase looking at me. One day I may work up the courage to read it.
