I was a serial killer intrigued and confused by another of my kind. I am now (as a sorbet palate cleanse) a writer, recently married to my love, a Lord and detective. We are about to embark upon our honeymoon.

They were eventually. I was so annoyed that they would not believe their own daughter until it was confirmed by the culprits themselves. Lorelai had been well and truly stitched up by her parents throughout all of this situation, and they just ignored the fact that she is Rory's mother. I think the episodes that covered this were great to really get viewers to understand the whys and wherefores of Lorelai's difficult relationship not only with her parents, but also their world with all it's inherent snobbery, and talk of 'good people' (as in the wouldn't have treated Rory like that as the Huntzbergers are 'good people')

I've read a few from lists- the Pattersons, Cornwell, Rowling and Dan Browns A & Ds. I have a couple of Stuart MacBrides to read on my TBR mountain! Look forward to reading your reviews!

Hello Teirnan!

Planet Of The Apes - Pierre Boulle

Homemade turkey burgers with mashed potatoes and veg.

'A Maiden's Grave' - Jeffrey Deaver. A really twisty read! Hey - it's a Deaver therefore must be good!

It's easy to get into as well - I first started watching it (by chance) last year, and went from mid way, through to the end - and then around to the beginning! It is friendly, quirky and watchable, a great way to spend some time!

"Very good, my lady. I fancy there will be time between lunch and dinner to effect a clearance of the kitchen chimney, provided there is no interference from the police. Would your ladyship wish me to instruct the sweep accordingly?" 'Busman's Honeymoon' Dorothy L. Sayers

Hey - I wasn't entering! I was being nice for no reason! I think that this is such a lovely thing to do!

Inver - you are a generous and genuine marvel!

Why Should I Bother About The Planet? - Sue Meredith

I'm a special agent who has arrived to take control of a hostage situation where a number of girls from a school for the deaf are being held by some real baddies.

The Spot on My Bum : Horrible Poems for Horrible Children - Gez Walsh(Author), Julie Thompson (Illustrator)

Ouch!.....

Surely Hugh Jackman's written something?

Parallel Lines: Or, Journeys on the Railway of Dreams - Ian Marchant

I found the list on this blog - having looked at the frankie's list, this one does appear short! http://www.woollytheblog.com/2008/07/rorys-reading-list.html

Part of what I found disturbing when reading the book was that I did enjoy it. Augusten makes his childhood very readable, and your sense of jaw dropping horoor at what is taking place quickly becomes the reader's 'norm', so you get caught in the flow of the book and are only truly able to recognise the dysfunction away from the text.

I remember a favourite tree in a park near our home. It was in a little clearing that couldn't be seen from the path. I would happily stay there for hours reading. 'The Chronicles of Narnia' always make me think of Faversham in Kent, where I read most of the series for the first time. I had so many favourite books that I would read and re read, and try my damndest to disappear into.

Safe Trip OR I hope you had a good trip over! p.s. re your pondered pseudonym - my first thought on reading the name was 'exotic dancer'!

Hello again Maggie, If you were to create a pseudonym for yourself (assuming you don't already have one) what would it be, and why? Thank You

I'm unexpectedly (as in not reading the book I planned) on Route 66, (the old route) trying to catch a serial killer, surrounded by a caravan of parents looking for their missing kids. We are in present times.
