    Hey Kirsty! Sorry to hear about your back, hope it's feeling better now. :006: Yes, they're my new kittens- this year we lost both of our ancient (16 and 17 years old) cats, and these ones are boys called Smudge and Stewie, 16/17 weeks old so adoreable! :D

     

    Me? Well, it hasn't been an easy year- as I said, we've lost both cats, my 11-year-old cousin was killed in a freak bike accident in July and exactly two weeks ago we lost my grandad, whose ashes will be put next to Katie (my cousin)

     

    Ayway, enough about me, how about you? :D

    Hi Madcow! I cried RIVERS!! I am a real animal lover and I also get soppy over the Disney Cartoons (eg The Lion King). As it is a true story, my husband couldn't even comfort me by saying that it was on a story. This book and this amazing,kind dog will stay with me forever (especially the part where he stays with John's wife when she came home from her miscarriage and just her cry into his fur.....) I have like that. Got to go, I can feel myself welling up......

    I am on my 9th book to date, which is very slow for me. It is because I am so busy at work - too busy to sit and read for half an hour at lunchtime. With the better weather, I am going to make sure I take my hour and sit in the sun with my book!! My favourites so far are: Marley & Me by John Grogan The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Currently reading 'The Remains of the Day' by Kazuo Ishiguro.

    Millie is the most literate feline I know - even beating Samuel Johnsons' cat (in my humble opinion!) She will read with me tonight after having been out all day sunning herself whilst I am at work!! Funnily enough, Millie always knows when I am reading The Bible. She comes right up to it and purrs ( I am not joking). Once she was so happy, she dribbled on it, but I couldn't get cross with her as it was an accident and she is getting on a bit. She always rubs the hard cover of my Bible, but never ever does that to any other hard cover book I have. A very clever, well read and learned cat indeed!!

    Hi Millie and I have 'The Book Thief', 'Rebecca' and 'My Family and Other Animals' as well as 'Catch me a Columbus' on our TBR List, so well done!! I studied 'To Kill A Mockingbird' for GCSE and I absolutely loved that book. I want to read it again. The depth of the book, the message and the way it was written has always amazed me. When I read Millie your email she did lick her lips at the mention of Tish I have nearly earned 1 credit for finishing my 3rd book from my Mount TBR. ( Wooooo-Hoooooooo)

    Hello Again!!! Millie and I had to try about 12 times (no joking!!) to get into Emma, but we were determined to read it and we are glad that we were not defeatist. We found from Chapter 4 or 5 onwards it rapidly picked up pace and wit etc. But, it is horses for courses. How boring if we were all the same!! My husband hated Catcher in the Rye, too. I thought I would not like either, the way he went on and on about it:lol:, but I really enjoyed it. Millie has asked for recommendations from you, if you purrrlease:lol:

    Often, when I read in the evening I stop for a cup of tea - or top up and I will look at the bookshelves. I often plan in my mind which book I will read next whilst drinking my tea. If I am 'stuck' in a particular genre that I want to continue reading then that often helps me choose either from my bookcase/coffee table/under the bed/wardrobe/desk etc etc. or my list Every year on New Years' Day, I write a list of books that I want to read that year (very odd, I know! and I slowly try and work my way through the list, but not necessarily in order. Obviously, I start with the books I possess so I can pass them on, swap them etc. to make room for the others and the ever-growing books on the Mount TBR!!

    Hi Janet!! I have consulted with Millie and she highly recommends: Nicholas Nickleby, by Charles Dickens, Emma, by Jane Austin Atonement by Ian McKewan The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger O'h, and she thoroughly enjoyed 'London' and 'Sarum' by Edward Rutherford. She also liked the Philippa Gregory books about Anne Boleyn and Henry: 'The Other Boleyn Girl' 'The Virgin's Lover' 'The Queen's Fool' 'The Constant Princess' 'The Boleyn Inheritance' and she is waiting for the latest one in the series to come out this September (She has forgotten the title - she is in her dotage at nearly 14 human years, which is 77 in cat years...) Millie would love to know if any of the above take your fancy? Hugs 'n' Fishes from us all, Kirsty!!
