  1. Oops sorry about that. I did do a search but it didn't come up with anything, I guess I didn't search very well.
  2. I've just recently got into Philip Pullman, and have started His Dark Materials Trilogy. I hated the movie The Golden Compass, it was nothing compared to the book.
  3. Author: Mitch Albom ISBN: 0751536822 Genre: general Fiction Pages: 231 Format: Paperback Publisher: Sphere With the recent passing of my father, this is one book I 'needed' to read. I was gob smacked my eldest son even thought about buying me this book for xmas, let alone actually surprising me with it on xmas day. This was a wonderful little book, with a lot of meaning to it. It helps you to understand why certain things happen to you in life, and how we are all connected. This book is basically about a man who dies, and is met by five people, who in some way affected how he lived his life. Some are family while others are strangers. I really can't go on to tell you more, as you have to read it for yourselves. All I can say is, I found the book left me wanting more. I wish the book had been bigger so I could go on reading. It's a light read and some people would finish it in a day. It's a very comforting read and one worth having in your book pile to be read.
  4. Finished Camelots Shadow and thought it was good. I'll be getting the other two that follow this book. Now reading; Chocolat by Joanne Harris.
  5. I guess I read more in winter, as I'm usually out doing stuff in summer.
  6. Oh I loved it Clare, and I read that they're making her 'PS, I love you' (not read that one) into a movie.
  7. Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern Author: Cecelia Ahern ISBN: 0-00-716501-3 Genre: Fiction Publisher: Harper Collins Pages:583 I love it!!!!!! This book is fantastic! (imo) It's a wonderful book about friendship and love. About 'best friends' and 'soul mates'. I fell in love with the characters of this book and I found it so hard to put down. I just wanted to read read read!!! When the book finished, I felt sad because I enjoyed it so much and wanted to stay in their lives. I liked the way this book was set out, the whole book was set in email and snail mail form, so each page was a conversation one was having with another. It reminded me of the movie 'You've got Mail'. I highly recommed this book to anyone who loves to read chick lits. I am even thinking some guys may like this book after all the two best friends are male and female, it is about their bond. It was so enjoyable. 10/10
  8. Just finished Cecelia Ahern's Where Rainbows End and I loved it, I loved it! It is definitely one of my fav books. I'll read Camelot's Shadow next.
  9. I loved this one too. Imo it's better than the movie, but then books usually are.
  10. I think I may choose that one next. Also I wrote one of the books wrong it's: The Secret Life of Bees, not The Secret of Bees
  11. I'm reading Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern, and I feel this comes under this genre. I'm loving the book, and yes I think Sophie Kinsella is a chick lit too. I loved her undomestic goddess book.
  12. Today I went and bought Chocolat ~ Joanne Harris, The Secret of Bees ~ Sue Monk Kidd & Camelot's Shadow ~ Sarah Zettel. I can't wait to get started.
  13. Just finished The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, it was a good book. I don't think it was brilliant but it did make me think. I will most probably read Cecelia Aherns ~ Where Rainbows End next. Hmmmm
  14. I also thought it was a good book.
  15. It can take me upto a week or two to finish a book, although I have finished a few in 3 days before (meaning one book in 3 days), but thats rare for me. Thanks for the review stewart.
