Found it....excellent.....thank you...I'm easy pleased...now I need to figure out the @Michelle thingy...oh there it is...

Don't suppose it is a necessity but I have to say I used the wee arrow a lot when I was at the bottom of the page...thanks for answer..xx

Chilly but bright and sunny spring day here...daffies are nice and cheery in the garden.

Thanks for all these answers to questions ..just managed to put a 'cover' image up...

Is there any news on the wee arrow...didn't get a reply to this one...slowly getting my way around..I think

Testing, testing ....1....2...3......hope we can get choice of fonts back again though....but have to say the update looks quite nice and tidy.... One question....there used to be a wee arrow at the very bottom of the page in the middle and could take you back to the tope of the page again...has that disappeared...was useful rather than having to scroll back up.

I've still not finished 'bookshop'..will I ever. Oh I hope you enjoy it....one of my top reads last year. Oops...I did it again. Wandered in to BHF charity shop for a browse and saw a book that was on my wishlist....well it was only £1 and £1 in their loose change tin, so I had to buy....'The Two Week Wait by Sarah Rayner' (One Moment, One Morning author).

Other alternative ideas for challenge titles A flower in the title A food in the title A building in the title A family member in the title A garden in the title A Christmas read

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind...

I have the same title written twice, but there is the potential there to move it to another category if I get around to reading another book that would fit in.

'Reflection' by Diane Chamberlain 'Reflection'....a good title for this one. Rachel has returned to the town where a tragedy took place when she was teacher at the school and in a lot of folks eyes was blamed for what happened. She has returned to take care of her beloved grandmother, Helen, but she holds secrets of her own. Rachel's friend, Michael a Mennonite minister, becomes a big part of life once again. Helen, has the power to overturn a potential change in the community over the imminent destruction of a beloved part of the town, but she has always said she will never confess. Time for the past to catch up with her too. Time for change and putting to rights, wrongs that have been done. Truths come out which have been hidden since the tragedy, which was a good twist I thought. The writing seemed a little different to books I've read from this author before, but still enjoyable. 3/5

Saw Viceroy's House last week with friends. It was very good and I learned a bit about history I didn't know.

Doubt if I will do that one.....I'm not being strict with this, if I think of something else to substitute with I will.

It probably won't be soon Gaia...

Just finished a Harris gin & tonic

I met up with a fellow Bookcrosser today who happened to be in Aberdeen for something else. She had recently watched and read 'Chocolat' by Joanne Harris and happened to mention on Facebook wanting to read her other two in the series. I happened to mention that I had them lounging on a bookshelf waiting to find a new home, so we met for tea and scone and a blether and exchanged books. I picked up from her 'The Weight of Silence' by Heather Gudenkauf (new author, although her name seemed familiar but it appears I haven't read any of this author. Think I was getting the similarity between Diffenbaugh and Niffenegger...had that ring to it...)

Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it Gaia. And yes I agree, very quick reads. Here other two books had a similar 'tea' type theme to them too, although that one had the added bonus of being in a nice warm background to it being on a Greek island. The other two books by Vanessa are:- 'The Seafront Tea Rooms' by Vanessa Greene 'The Vintage Teacup Club' by Vanessa Greene

You do like reading don't you....

I started this book last year and I still haven't finished it. I hope you have more luck with it than I have Claire...not quite sure what it is, but almost like the story isn't going anywhere, despite them being on a floating library.... I'll get there eventually. I'm enjoying 'Reflection' a the moment, but then I always enjoy Diane Chamberlain reads...

Raith Rovers.....new goalie...all is good...

Hoorah....up to 5 now...and one ahead on my Goodreads bookie challenge...(although that won't last I'm sure )

Oops....well it happens doesn't it...you go in to Waterstones just to browser...yeh right. Well I had a £5 voucher thingy in my purse to I bought a book. 'The Fire Child' by SK Tremayne (of The Ice Twins). Seems to be popular on Facebook bookie groups, so hoping it lives up to expectations.

Yes...I've read 3....'The Vintage Teacup Club..... review and 'The Seafront Tea Rooms..... review I've enjoyed them all, nice, easy, quick reads for a bit of escapism.

'The Beachside Guest House' by Vanessa Greene I've enjoyed all of Vanessa Greene's books and this was another easy enjoyable read. Bee and Rosa reminisce about a holiday they had with another friend Iona when they were teenagers, on the island of Paros. The two drifted apart from Iona, but want to try and rekindle the friendship. The 'windmill' comes up for sale and Rosa throws caution to the wind and decides to buy it...Bee eventually decides to join her when her upcoming wedding plans come to a halt. Iona is in a difficult relationship and is looking for a way out and eventually makes the escape to join her friends on Paros. This takes us on the journey of rekindled friendships and making new ones. Setting up a guest house business and it's trials and tribulations. Friendships of close friends and decisions about each of there futures, whether it be together or apart, each finds their own path eventually. 3/5

I do like a nice cover...definitely pulls me towards a book, and that one is lovely, so simple but totally effective.
