So today I’ve decided to take a trip down Book Memory Lane. You know what us oldies are like for reminiscing about days gone by, all nostalgic, when times were better…
As you’ve probably all experienced in your own lives, us book lovers simply run out of shelf space. Unless of course you’re one of those lucky sods with a massive spare room/library to house every single book you’ve ever owned. (No bitterness or jealousy at all there.)
I’ve done many a charity shop donation with books I just didn’t have room for. Okay, admittedly, some I was glad to see the back of, but most were ‘I doubt I’d re-read, but I still like yous’. I have been known to *ahem* buy them again if seen for a bargain somewhere though.
In superb technicolour, here are the actual editions I have loved and lost.
[Click on the covers to find out more!]
And there we have it. A mixed bag of books from my past that I would love to have back on my bookshelves. Did any of these ring any bells? If you were a child/teen of the 80’s, I’m sure some of these covers will take you back!
Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend folks!

I loved The Beano!! 😂 I can remember getting rid of them vividly. My mum was in my room saying ‘you can’t keep every book now you’re older, we just don’t have the room!’ Oh how I cried (I think I was about 13 😆)

Great post, Lisa! I have lost boxes of books because I moved houses a lot, and I miss plenty of my babies!

It’s such a shame isn’t it?! Imagine though, still owning every single book from birth to present 😮 I’d have no space for furniture 😆
