In reply to Jordan @ The Heart of a Book Blogger. You are indeed lucky! I don't have a library here (or a book shop). If I had I'd probably just live in the library.

I don’t have have an official wishlist, just my tbr shelf on Goodreads. I’m lucky that my library has a pretty good selection of books so I’m able to borrow books that I’m not sure if I want to own yet.

It’s interesting to see how books end up on peoples wish lists. Always enjoy stories of an unlikely encounter that leads to someone discovering a new favourite book

In reply to Norrie. Good to know about the ratings. There were a few times when I rated a book higher than Goodreads. (I think it happened with du Maurier and The Little Stranger.) But often I rate it lower than Goodreads. So the 3.3 makes me really suspicious about the book. Can you share a few from those 40-50 titles?

I just trimmed my wishlist, so it’s around 40-50 books now only… 😀
I’m always swayed by ratings on goodreads lately. Even though some of my fave books are rated 3.3 – 3.4 there. So it really shouldn’t mean anything.
