  1. Thank you for the birthday wishes Ooshie :)

  2. Thank you very much Ooshie :-)

  3. I never read reviews as what works for one doesn't for another. If I like the synopsis I buy the book and agree with Hayley on not having any preconceptions.
  4. I'm similar Amy0x the first thing I do when I pick up a new paperback is crack the spine. I don't tend to keep paperbacks, I pass them on or they go to a local charity shop.
  5. Yesterday I rummaged through my TBR pile for a book to read, settled on one and 30 pages in I found a ten pound note . I have no idea how it got there (it was an unread book of 6 years!) but am using it as a bookmark for the moment.
  6. Can't believe this saga is still going strong! I read the first three and then got fed up waiting for the next installment. Think I might revisit her books as I really enjoyed them.
  7. Find myself agreeing with you again Raven. Loved the first series of Heroes and only just got through first two eps of second series, it turned into utter drivel. Loving the Event so far.
  8. Anything by Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Brett Easton Ellis and anything to do with Harry Potter.
  9. Couldn't agree more with your first sentence Raven. I read a book for pleasure not because I think I have to read it because it's a 'classic'.
  10. We downloaded Cut the Rope last night and yes it is very addictive
  11. I've just been given this book, hopefully it will grab me from the start. If after 100 pages I'm finding a book a chore, I bin it, so hopefully this isn't the case with this one as I've read some great reviews.
  12. 1. Age (<18, 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55+) 35-44 2. Gender Female 3. What do you read on a daily basis? (blogs, newspapers, books, etc.) Newspapers, books 4. How often do you read for fun in a week? Varies from week to week, sometimes every day, sometimes nothing in a week 5. What time of day do you like to read? Evening usually 6. Where do you read? Bath, curled up on the sofa 7. How many books have you read in the last 6 months? Not very many 8. What type/genre do you enjoy reading most? Anything but romance or sci-fi 9. Why do you read? (entertainment, relaxation, learning, etc.) All of the above 10. What barriers prevent you from reading more? Lack of time! 11. Do you think reading for fun is important? Of course 12. Do you fold page corners or use a bookmark? Neither, I memorise the page number 13. Do you prefer to read to music or in silence? Silence preferably 14. Do you discuss books with your friends? The vast majority of my friends don't read books for fun 15. Do you borrow books from the library? No 16. Do you borrow/loan books from/to friends? Yes. When I'm finished with a book I give them to friends in the hope they don't return them (paperbacks only)
  13. We downloaded Paper Toss last night. I think I might have to stop reading this thread else I'll never get anything done!
  14. Downloaded Words for Friends for the iPad yesterday and we love it. You can play and pass as well as going online with it. Thanks for mentioning it Nici
  15. I like the look of that Words with Friends, so will probably download it . As yet I haven't downloaded much at all for the iPad. Just Pub Quiz HD which is quite good and SharePrice which gives live streaming share prices.
