    the edge chronicles?

    I haven't heard of them before, but I just noticed that The Stone Pilot (part of the series) is one of the £1 World Book Day books. Since I have 4 of the £1 tokens I might get it. :) The World Book Day site recommends The Stone Pilot for ages 10+, but I never pay attention to that kind of...

    Bookshelf organisation

    I tend to group mine together by author and series then separate them into groups. I keep my non-fiction and fiction apart (unless it overlaps with authors and subjects) and divide the fiction up into genre and subject matter (ie vampire books, detective books). Then of course it just goes by...

    Jealous readers

    Some people might say thats what I am, but really I just want to read different things and see what there is out there. If someone recommends something I'm likely to keep an eye out for it, but when I read I do absorb most of what I read (unless it's boring). I can be quite protective of my...

    Children doing work experience

    I never got to do my work experience because when I moved schools the school I was moving to had just finished doing it and the school I came from wasn't doing it for a month or so. I really wish I'd been given the chance to do it since now I'm considering a part time job I don't know what I'd...

    Does Anyone Recognize This Book??

    I'm not familiar with the book, but from your author information maybe you should check this list on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_fiction#Prominent_writers_of_spy_fiction Might help a little, but I really don't know.

    Online book lists

    I really like to keep track of the books I've read/bought to read, but if I ever lost one of my books that I write in I want something as backup... so I just registered on Library Thing and discovered this. As a free user you can only have an online "library" of 200 books. Now, for me it would...

    top ten books for highschoolers?

    Being of the highschool age myself I'd say... Anything! :D Seriously, age shouldn't be a factor in choosing what books you want to read. If something appeals to you, go for it.

    If you had £30 to spend on books, what would you choose?

    Hmm... with £30 I'd be able to get somewhere between 25 and 30 books from charity shops. :D Why get 3-5 new books when theres the option of more? :o

    What is the longest book/work you've ever read?

    Does a trilogy count if it's all in the same book? If it does mine would be The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. It got a bit boring, but I stuck with it until the end. I have Anne Rice's The Witching Hour in my TBR pile, which I think is a bit longer though...
