Re: What Will You Do As the Lockdown Ends?

If it's cheap books you're after try www.worldofbooks.com which sells ex-library and charity shop fiction. We've bought both hard and paperback books from here and they were still in pretty good condition (even if the packaging was fairly poor).

Re: What Will You Do As the Lockdown Ends?

I will stop doing what I have done since the lock down started

Down to my local park which can not be closed and picked up litter.

Went down to the banks of the Thames in Rainham park closed........BUT parking spaces on a road just before about half a mile away

Picked up litter.

Then next day drove down to the Worlds End at Tilbury Fort

And picked up litter.

About 10 bags so far.

Tins cans and plastics.

Did not or need to come into contact with anyone.

Depends on which books I suppose. We bought copies of titles from the back catalogues of Ellie Griffiths, Tom Clancy and a couple of others. None of them cost more than £2 each. Our Tesco doesn't stock that big a range in books but ASDA in town does.

I tend to buy chic-lit, it's escapism. I could read all my Terry Pratchett & Anne McCaffrey books yet again & I do & have, but sometimes I like a different book.
