Thanks Julie yea I'm enjoying reading again. Just glad things have settled but knowing my luck something else will happen. Surprised we haven't got our own parking spot up at hospital lol x

That should say loved it not lived ha oops

Will Trent I lived want to read more of hers but can't find any at the moment thanks for the welcome back

And I'm back ... Again. Had some time away thought of my Gran spent some time with family but now I'm back to reading. I've just finished reading Criminal by Karin Slaughter so review to come soon. I hope everyone is ok. X

Cheers guys it has been a while since I read so may have been too much I will come back to it though

Yea I've heard the film is good. Think I will watch it after I've read the book. Thanks Bobbly

For some reason I can no longer concentrate on the Woman in White don't ask me why. So now I'm reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett

I've got Huckleberry Finn on my TBR list may pick some others of yours if I'm short on ideas happy reading

Thanks Kidsmum I'm enjoying it so far

And now for a book that is a little longer The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins

Book Four Beauty and the Beast - Marie Le Prince de Beaumont Blurb A beautiful daughter dreams of meeting a handsome prince, but in order to save her father's life, she leaves him home to go live with a terrible fightning beast. Though her patron is hideous, his disarming generosity slowly leads to a surprising connection. As this book was, again, so short I don't think I will cover the questions like Alice in Wonderland, it will be too difficult. I have grown up with Disney, and to this day they still remain my favourite types of films so Beauty and the Beast was watched often. I have never though read, or had read to me, the book and I must say that even though it was very short I quite enjoyed it. It has everything a girl wants. It has evil siblings, jealous and cruel, a doting father, riches, and of course a handsome prince. Marie Le Prince de Beaumont has written this well and I feel covered everything needed, enough detail is given to gain a picture of what is happening yet doesn't drag out all the boring inbetween bits. I like the fact that Beauty (Belle) wants to be a self made woman, she enjoys the fact that she can look after her father in the country and goes on to enjoy looking after the beast at the castle. So overall I enjoyed the book, just one thing was missing ... The dancing and singing candlestick, clock and tea set

Book Three Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll Blurb (as written on back of book) Alice's adventures begin when she follows White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and falls down, down, down. Alice is an ordinary little girl who lives an ordinary sort of life, until the day she finds herself in the most wonderful world of mad tea parties and remarkable characters like the Mad Hatter, the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat and the Mock Turtle. As everything grows 'curiouser and curiouser', Alice is delighted to find that nothing in Wonderland is the least bit ordinary. What do I think of the main character? Alice - Odd. I feel as though I should expand but I can't, what child dreams like that. Drugs, that, to me, is what she is dreaming of. Surely at her age she shouldn't really know much about them let alone know of the effects. I just don't know what to write to be honest. Who was my favourite character? The Caterpillar - He smokes a hookah why wouldn't I like him. He is the most laid back Caterpillar I have ever read about. Plus he offered a young girl some magic mushroom, amazing. Was the book different from what I expected? Yes. Again I have seen two versions of the film, Disney and Tim Burton, and I have to say on this occasion I prefer the films. I felt that the book just didn't give enough detail, didn't make me believe that she was seeing what she noted she saw, maybe it's just me, maybe the fact that the films used bright colours has deterred me from the book. Share a favourite scene/quote from the book It has to be the caterpillar scene the vision of a caterpillar high and chatting to a little girl is brilliant. I have to say that I enjoyed the book, though it was short, yet I do understand that there is another part 'Through the Looking Glass' (which wasn't included in my copy). But I don't know if I want to read this or not, this first part has not excited me enough to pick it up. I'll see how I go.

Hi Pontalba, Diary of a Submissive is good, well I thought so anyway and yea things have simmered down and I'm glad to be back and reading again

Finished Alice in Wonderland. Will complete the review tomorrow. Bed time now I think

Looks as though 123 pages is about right it's 75 on mums iPad so yea ... Almost finished then haha! Thanks guys Hi Chrissy

I'm enjoying it so far not sure if its the full version though? I have downloaded an app thing on my phone to try get back into reading before I buy more books (running out of room and the hubby prefers his films to books). So the one on my phone is only 123 pages and it just seems short :s Any advice would be greatly appreciated on the actual length of the book Cheers

Currently reading Alice in Wonderland

Thanks I should do, everything has settled down now. By unique does that mean good? Ha Thanks again

I know, I know. I've been away a while and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't read any books. Not one Family problems etc etc have meant that I haven't had time to do much of anything. But now I am back and determined to read! Chat to you all soon x

I agree books usually are though
