  1. I loved Emma. I think she is almost a "modern" young woman. I am sure you will enjoy the book as you progress further. If you haven't tried Pride and Prejudice, then do because if you like Emma, you will love P & P. Welcome to the forum Zmae

  2. Thank you for your friendship request which I am delighted to accept.

  3. Thanks for that useful information Malyneczka

  4. I absolutely hate that half naked "old" man who is banging on about insurance. I can't bear to watch and turn away while it is on or go out of the room
  5. "An hour and forty-five minutes before Nazneen's life began - began as it would proceed for quite some time, that is to say uncertainly - her mothr Rupban felt an iron fist squeeze her belly." "Brick Lane" - Monica Ali
  6. This book is sitting on my TBR list. Ah me I won't get to it just yet!!
  7. The Stand by Stephen King The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly Pride and Prejudice/Emma by Jane Austen The State of the Union by Douglas Kennedy The Far Pavilions by M M Kaye
  8. I wish she was my dog!!! She belongs to my friend who lives in Canada and whom I visited in 2007. Her name is Daisy and she is pictured by the lake where their weekend "cottage" is.

  9. I would agree with that Kell. Its the only SK book I have read and I really enjoyed it. The characters became so Real to me as I read.
  10. Well it was on More 4 was't it? Do they have an Iplayer like BBC? I think it will be repeated on Channel 4 later on. They usually do. I have missed such a lot of ER over the past couple of years, everyone will be new to me except Abby :-)

  11. Classical, and pop music from 50s/60s/70s
  12. The Ruins by Scott Smith so disturbed me I had nightmares days afterwards. It was about a group of students on holiday in Mexico and they are persuaded to go on an adventure inland to join an archeology group................horrifying believe me :D
  13. I read for pure enjoyment and relaxation, but also to learn and keep my mind agile (in old age:blush:)
  14. I read loads of books in 2008, but cannot remember how many. I think about 30. Many were books introduced to me on this site and some were books I might not have picked up if I had not seen them mentioned or reviewed on here.
  15. Hi there KR, I took a break for a while. That Westie is called Daisy and she belongs to my Canadian friend whom we visited in 2007. She is a real character, absolutely gorgeous. The lake where the photo is taken is "their" lake, ie they have a cabin (they call it cottage) there which they used a great deal when the kids were little. It has fallen into disrepair now, but they have all decided to pull together and put it to rights. Should be great. I visited there in 1980 and it was beauiful.

  16. :sign0072: Hope you are having a good day
  17. Yes quite a lot, too many for me to remember actually. The Ice Room was one I remember though. Frightened me to death. I also enjoyed The Devil's Feather which was pretty scary to in an up to the minute way.

  18. I like Minette Walters books Chris. Have you read many?

  19. I absolutely agree with every word you have said. Yes Roger Moore was way too "smooth" for Bond. Sean Connery and Daniel Craig are from the same mould.
  20. I had all the Christmas and New Year period off and guess what I have the rest of the year off too:lol:
  21. If I can't find the right cover I usually scan the one I have and then up load it.
