I looked at my bookshelf there (non-fiction+ TBR section) and I realised how much stuff I've bought over the last ten years because someone recommended it on here and it sounded interesting. GrinShock

The attached photo must be only a small proportion of what I've acquired (so farBlush)

I love all the varied and intelligent chat on here, not sure if my bank balance or bookshelves agree.... Thanks women of Mumsnet...I think. 😄

(Also no I've not finished reading all these... My TBR pile is a bit out of control right now 🙈)

I liked the playful parenting ideas too, just wish I was better at using them in the heat of the ' getting out the door dramas ' etc. Blush

Come on over to the "What We're Reading" section....[crooks beckoning figure witch-style]. The 50 Book thread in particular will lead to a dangerously-teetering TBR pile....

YANBU.

I’m on the 50 Book threads and my book wish list just keeps getting bigger and bigger Grin

... follows biliomania in a trance due to the promise of more books....

and I'm now firmly down the rabbit hole.
There goes my productive day at work.
How did I never know there was a book section on MN?!

Not just Mumsnet, but tech generally. I don’t get through books at half the rate I used to but still can’t stop buying books - mostly in secondhand and charity shops and only the occasional new one - so I have a bit of a book storage problem.

Even my Kindle has a TBR pile. And lots of things bought because Mumsnet.
