DayDream

I quite liked it, not at all what i expected. I liked the fact that none of the characters were 'over the top' I love it, i try to read it at least once a year. It's got everything in it. It also helps that i'm a completely hopeless romantic and the relationship between Sir Percy and Marguerite leaves me sighing like a simp on several occassions.

I loved Wideacre, it kept me enthralled all the way through, imagining what new lengths Beatrice will go through to get what she wants. Although admitedly i did think after all the detail that went into the story itself it was wrapped up a bit too quickly. Am not sure how i feel about the series though it seems a bit too 'Virginia Andrews' for my liking. (not that there is anything wrong with Virginia Andrews i just could never take to them) Although if anyone has read the series and feels that they can sway me i would be more than happy to acquiesce.

I have ooodles of bookmarks, in fact i think i may even be collecting them now. However sometimes my nuerosis takes over and i use a plain strip of paper, write on it the name of the book and author, what date i started it then what date i finished it. Then do the same for the next book till the strip is filled. I also have another method of writing down the number of pages, then how many i read that day, and how many i've got left. Sounds strange i know, but i have a drawer full of strips of paper dating back years that always amuse me to look back at. I blame my mother!

I'm the same. I bought Duma Key over a year ago, read the first few chapters but really could not get into it. Put it on my shelf and its been there since, which is a shame as i'm quite a big Stephen King fan and have never had to be in the 'right frame of mind' to read any of his works before

I can't quite remember my first fantasy I think it was 'Lord of the Rings' although it was my dad's book and i think i may have been too young to really appreciate a lot of it. First one that impacted me was 'Pawn of Prophecy' by David Eddings. First Horror was 'Slugs' by Shaun Hutson. Oh dear god never again! that book seriously gave me the heebie jeebies. Also I remember after reading one particularly graphic scene, being immensley grateful that i wasn't a man. eurgh!!

Did anyone see it, i missed it. I loved what they did with 'Dangerous Lady' i just hope they managed to do this justice too. It's been getting quite a lot of hype round here, the Metro did a mock up front page article about the characters, i thought it was some momento front page from the 80s like they sometimes do. wasn't until i read the article i realised it was 'The Take' When i grow up i want Martina Coles publicist

I feel i should hang my head in shame. I got 9/10 today, the one i got wrong was a Tim McGraw song . . . . i have all his albums.
