  2. Drivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch In Search of Lost Timex - Marcel Proust Brave Newt World - Aldous Huxley
  3. Finished listened to The Eternity Code by Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl #3). I really enjoyed this one, and it will be interesting how the next of the series will be.
  4. I'll let you know the Artemis Fowl episodes. At the moment I don't know if they will be similar than the original Eoin Colfer books, as the trailer didn't give much of a clue of the story lines. I have only listened #1 & #2 of the books, so I'm listening to 3 #3 & #4 soon!
  5. Tiger Feet - Mud (come on, everyone who remember this one, let's all do the dance!)
  6. Yikes! I had completely forgotten about this again. But I will be in the read-a-thon for June.
  7. Bought the ebook of Jack Monroe’s Good Food for Bad Days today.
  8. Current listening list Eoin Colfer - The Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl #3) Reading list The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 2 (Gokushufudou: The Way of the House Husband #2) The English Air by D.E. Stevenson I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (I Want To Eat Your Pancreas (Manga) #1-2) by York Sumino,
  9. Good to see you enjoyed this one, as I've got this one (and a large handful of her ebooks as well) in my TBR list. Her "plucky female in distress" genre is definitely good for escapism, though they are a little dated.
  10. It's being a while since I has a book log (two or three years). Since have plenty of time on my hand, and there are a few great books that I've read in 2020, I would like to review some of them. For the moment, this is the list of particularly good reads I've had in 2020. Lonely Courage: The True Story of the SOE Heroines Who Fought to Free Nazi-Occupied France - Rick Stroud The Other Bennet Sister - Janice Hadlow The Pied Piper - Nevil Shute
  11. Artemis Fowl will be streaming on Disney+ from 12th June. So, is anyone else excited to see this? I’m really looking forward to seeing this! And the trailer seems very different, from the Eoin Colfer books, but it looks good. Especially as Judy Dench as Commander Root! Plus its being directed by Kenneth Branagh!!
  12. It’s quite therapeutic to water the plants, especially when refill the watering cans from the water butts....makes me fell nice that we’ve kept the rainwater.
  13. Brilliant! So it wasn’t a Sand-Fairy after all.... Virginia Woolf’s A Broom of One’s Own - Virginia’s early years at Hogwarts.
  14. Listening 88% to What could possibly go wrong (the Chronicles of St Mary’s #6). Hope to finish it this afternoon.
  15. Wind Power - Thomas Dolby (those pesky turbines!)
  16. Ah, that could be a rather awkward conversation.... I spend most of the time indoors, as it’s so sunny and breezy, I get sunburn very quickly. 10 minutes outside maximum at the mo. The forecast is for wall to wall sunshine for the next week....looks like a lot of time spending watering the plant pots.
  17. Thomas Hardy’s Less of the d'Urbervilles
  18. Firefly Summer - Maeve Binchy
  19. Ian Fleming's The Man With The Golden Bun - *raising one eyebrow* Bond, James Bond the Baker....
  20. Hello people! I have used this idea from bookgrouponline and I’m Sorry I Haven’t Got A Clue on BBC Radio 4. I’ve also tweaked the rules slightly. So, imagine book titles were changed quite differently if one letter is changed, or possibly added/removed. For example, if Nevil Shute’s post-apocalyptic novel On The Beach changed by adding an extra letter L, to On The Bleach , then it could be a lockdown scenario without hairdressers salons - On The Bleach. Another example could be another work of Shute’s The Pied Piper, changed to The Plied Piper, (so it was the memoir of a Scottish bag-player, who was once plied with too much alcohol before performing!) Do you get it?
  21. The Secrets of Gaslight Lane - M.R.C. Kasasian
  22. Candle in the Wind - Elton John
