  1. Jane Austen is amazing. She's a fantastic author, also love the Bronte sisters. Have recently found a love for Anne Rice.

    Have only read one of Frank Herberts, he reminds me of Stephen King, I'm pretty sure he is where S.K got his ideas? Or was it the other way around?

  2. In primary school I used to love book week, the chance to come to school dressed up as your favourite book character was awesome. Not only that though, walk into the library and there was table after table after table of new books. That new book smell was a massive draw in and went a long way to helping my love for reading and books in general.

  3. I have recently made a promise that any books I buy that aren't ebooks have to be from series's that I already have some of. Any new series's that I start have to be just ebooks. Second hand book shops are very helpful with this.

  4. I think it's more that half the people I work with are teenagers and younger and just prefer movies to books or just don't like reading. It's rare at work to find someone to talk to about books. Although saying this, my fiance loves reading, my little sister loves reading and so does my housemate. Ok...now I am babbling, time for a coffee...hopefully that made some sense...

  5. Oh wow. It is nice to see that the younger generation still enjoys reading though. I have a sister who turns 21 this year and she's like me...has her head buried in a book every chance she gets. Turning 25 this year. God time flies. I'll be 26 and married next year...well by the end of october anyway.

  6. Wow, after reading through some of the posts on this thread...it's amazing the varied ages on here! I didn't realize how young some of the people were...although that was 2008 I guess...Out of curiosity what's the youngest age now? (I'm 24 by the way)

  7. Hey everyone!

     

    My fiance's dad and his partner gave us a slow cooker as an engagement pressie. It's been in the house for about two weeks and tonight it finally got used for the first time. Only because I wanted to use it on a friday or saturday so I had time to play around. Made a very simple beef stew and was a massively big hit! I never realized how easy these kinds of things are! One very proud girl here tonight. Will have to make another attempt.

  8. Hey all,

    I know it's been a long time between posts..Will kick myself later for it.

    Anyway, halfway into The last Juror by John Grisham and today I started reading Career of evil by Robert Galbraith which I have realised is the final book in a series...Oh well I've started it now, that will teach me to read the back of the book before I start reading the book itself.

  10. Hey all,

     

    I was just wandering through Big W and spotted something that threw me a bit. A copy of the new James Patterson Women's Murder Club book 15th Affair....I thought It wasn't to be released until may 2nd?  With further checking, Target is selling it, Book Depository is selling it and so is QBD and Dymocks. Was there a mix up with the release date?

  11. So after doing a little NetFlix hunting this morning (when I should have been doing homework) I discovered that Netflix has a new show, based around the Mortal Instruments book series. I have watched the movie and was severely disappointed by it. This show however is fantastic. So good, even though it doesn't entirely stick to the books (like the movie) I don't really mind that it doesn't stick to the books. 

     

    The show is on IMDB if you want to take a look and tell me what you think.
