    Aahhh where do I start - I love horse riding, cycling, keeping fit, socialising, going to gigs, travelling and of course reading! Which I don't have nearly enough time for!

  1. Totally peed off as have no internet for the past couple of weeks so unable to post much on here. Am nearly finished ring by Koji Suzuki. Not massively spooky but a good read. Plan to start on She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb after this. Have a free night so plan to get stuck in as the tely is rubbish at the mo!
  2. welcome! Where are you from? X I know that look well Easy reader, very familiar m my work colleagues and other halfs faces. Would love to be around more book worms!
  3. Yipee! Finally finishd Cider House Rules by John Irving. Really enjoyed the second half of the book although the first half was a necessary slog and wasn't that bad looking back I just think I maybe picked the wrong book for my mood at the time. I have to say even though I watched the film before reading the book I didn't envisage the characters as Michael Caine and Elijah Wood. I had totally different pictures in my head. Anyway started The Ring by Koji Suzuki time for a spooky change of pace! X
  4. Just had to comment as my dad bought my mother a kindle for her birthday - I have never been keen on them as I look at screens enough during the day but I have to say I was well impressed! She has one of the new generation ones and the screen just looks like the page of a book with no glare or reflection showing. It was nice and light and she had only had it a day and downloaded about ten books for 7 quid or something! My folks do travel a lot so I think it is ideal for my mum but I have to admit I am slightly more in favour of them now I have seen one up close! It would never replace my real books but I think for travelling and commuting etc it's great plus you can get some very very cheap books on it. Hmmm might just have to add one to my Christmas list this year!
  5. Nearly finished cider house rules and really enjoying the second half. Hmmm what to read next...
  6. I looooove Mitchell!! Can't wait to see him in the Hobbit!
  7. Lovely review - so pleased you liked this book - it's certainly one of my favourites of all time!
  8. Jelly babies definitely - bite off their heads first! shower or bath?
  9. ah he's lovely kylie! That doesn't look so comfy lying on those books though!
  10. Busy watching Legend! Fab 80s flick with a hot and very young Tom Cruise, beautiful unicorns and fantastically ugly demons and goblins - cheesy as hell but I love it! Accompanied by a lovely sammy and bottle of kopperberg by my side. Housework can wait methinks...
  11. Hope you enjoy the site, hmmm why did you pick Waits for your username - give us a clue!
  12. I just try and scan authors and titles to see if I can spot anything I have heard has been recommended or is by an author I like - however I do try and pick books I have never heard of and try not to read recommendations when I bring them home. I love the second hand book shop near me there are loads of different rooms with comfy sofas in you can read a few pages and decide if you like the book before purchase and no one pesters you - I could happily spend a whole afternoon in there!
  13. Hmmm I'm really curious now! Fancy reading the book to find out what you're on about!
  14. No love it was Creamfields! x
