  1. Over a quarter way through Rivers of London and really enjoying it, think I've found another genre I like Forgot to add I downloaded The Beach Cafe by Lucy Diamond on my kindle today too!
  2. Well after sleeping in this morning...oops thanks to being rudely woken by the howling wind and rain at 3am! I managed to drag myself into work and finish my consolidation training on helpline. After work I went shopping then home and walked the doggies. Now sat relaxing but will try and have an early night and get to work early (famous last words lol)
  3. I've made a start on Rivers of London by Ben Aaranovitch, so far so good
  4. Thank you for all your advice, I'm going to try Amazon so will keep you posted! Today has been the day from hell at work - I have been consolidating on my helpline training from last week. It is scary talking to 'real' customers lol and not knowing what each call will entail, I'm so used to bring in control of telephone calls and this is a whole new ball game. I know it is just practice and I will get there.
  5. Thanks Michelle, will take a look later
  6. Had quite a fraught (sp?) few days, hubby going off on one on Saturday night which left me with a headache which is only just receding and now my battery on my laptop has decided to pack up just looked on line and they want £118 for a replacement also checked Amazon and they have one similar for a fraction of Dell's costs but unsure as to whether to buy it and take a chance it will work ok any help from you guys would be appreciated..... I have cookies
  7. I downloaded a sample on my kindle of both 50 shades of grey and rivers of London, the first one just read like a child had written it and didn't grab my attention so I refuse to spend money on it and read it, plus friends who have indulged all say it's pants lol. The second one sparked an interest so I have bought it to read on my kindle Not started ADOW yet as I was in bed early last night with a headache, I'm sure it must be the weather
  8. I have to read the first one before I tackle this one!
  9. I've been back in training again this week on how to answer calls to our helpline. Next week should be fun as they are letting me loose on live calls lol
  10. I have found my new fav ice cream, Wallings blackcurrant cheesecake - yummy
  11. I love Sam Hayes' books, not read a bad one yet I have finished Untying The Knot by Linda Gillard, what can I say but FAB! Her books have really helped my mojo to come back to me I mean 2 books in about a week!!!!! unheard of for me this year lol I also read the 1st chapter of 50 shades of grey - and that is as far as I will go! Plus just finished the 1st chapter of Rivers Of London by Ben Aaronovitch and think I may just have to indulge myself and read the series Will be starting A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness tonight (this might take me a while it's huge!)
  12. Hello again LMB glad to hear your doing ok and congrats on your new arrival. Can't believe how fast this wekend has gone, wish I had another week off! At least it has stopped raining, it's been a really lovely day here. Off to do a bit more reading
  13. Still reading Untying the Knot and still loving it
  14. I'm with Inver...BCF has been the main culprit for my TBR pile turning mountainous But do I care? Nope. Every now and then I will have a quick look to see if there are any on there I can get rid of but I rarely do because I like to think that one day I will get through them all! I have managed to curtail my buying habit a bit since a couple of bookstores closed, but Amazon are sneaky little devils who tempt me with free kindle books or loads for less than a £1 lol
  15. Hope you have fun Timstar. I ended up taking yesterday off work due to a bad headache which miraculously disappeared with the thunder! Today was very busy at work but at least it did my flexi good lol, got soaked walking the dogs this evening but at least they had fun. Hoping for a quiet weekend and don't care whether it rains or not!
  16. Just looked....and nope I don't have it I finished The Glass guardian last night, loved it. Linda Gillard is up there in my top 5 fav authors! Now reading Untying The Knot also by Linda.
  17. Fab picture Diane Hubby has been on another downer today although his mood seems to have lifted in the last hour, touch wood we have turned a corner! Took the dogs for a good run on the beach inbetween showers so they a nicely curled up and sleeping Off to read more on my kindle now
  18. MIchelle - I have decided to treat myself and get ADOW on my kindle and will start it after The Glass Guardian, a few people at work have enjoyed it so I am looking forward to the challenge lol
  19. Quite a few people at work have recommended this so might just have to invest!
  20. Well done Noll, I couldn't have done that. Hubby finally made it home about 7pm last night, turns out I am going to need a new battery for my car. It fired up ok this morning thank goodness. Hannah was called into work this morning and ended up not finishing till half five as she had to escort a patient to hospital and wait with him until they knew whether he was being admitted or not. Turns out he has pnuemonia so he was admitted, I then had to go and pick her up. In a way I'm glad it has been a busy day, it has stopped me dwelling and being too upset, it is one year since we lost our dog Jake, we still miss him loads.
  21. I'm over half way through The Glass Guardian and loving it, Linda Gillard is a fantastic author I have loved all of her books Got a lovely surprise in the post today....thanks to Michelle's competition I am now the proud owner of Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. It's huge! I've decided to get the first book A Discovery of Witches and read them in order, if the first book is as big as the second it may take me a while!!!!
  22. I've started The Glass Guardian by Linda Gillard
  23. Thanks Frankie, she's a cheeky monkey but we love her loads
