  1. Thanks everyone! I saw Wool in Asda yesterday and made myself put it back on the shelf as I bought three books last week I'll put it on my TBR list though. I've seen all the others on dystopia lists on Goodreads but some of the reviews on there can be quite conflicting! I'm actually waiting for The Road to come back into the library so fingers crossed I can read that in a few weeks. Picked up one called Outpost by Adam Baker from the library today so hopefully it'll be a good read.
  2. Hi, Haven't posted on this forum for a few years but have completely gotten my reading bug back over the past few weeks and I seem to be swaying towards the dystopia genre quite a bit. It started with The Hunger Games trilogy, but all the series I've looked up seem to be YA novels, which is fine, but since I'm not a YA anymore, I feel I should be reading something more age appropriate. I've recently read The Silent Land by Graham Joyce which I quite enjoyed, and I've just finished America Pacifica by Anna North which was ok. I also read Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland a few years ago and loved it. I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations along those lines? I'd like to read another series of books, but it doesn't necessarily have to be one. Thanks

  5. My three childrens Spanish/English books arrived this weekend, yay!!
  6. Wow that's really cool! I love the colours!
  7. I have the very basic package with Virgin Media which includes the phone line. I haven't really had much to do with them so far as I've only been with them 3 months, however the installer came when he was meant to, was very good at showing me what was what, and when I initially had a small problem with connecting the internet to my laptop, the customer service centre knew exactly what the problem was and sorted it straight away, so I have no complaints about them so far!
  8. I went to visit my friend this weekend, and they're renovating the house at the moment, they've put this "roof" in, which I actually slept under last night. It's fabulous!

  13. I've got a Christmas trilogy by Mary and Carol Higgins Clark. I read them a few years ago now, they're basically mystery stories based around Christmas. I quite enjoyed them. The book is called The Christmas Collection and the individual stories are called Decks the Halls, The Christmas Thief and He Sees You When You're Sleeping.
