  1. I loved Dark Matter, just the right side of creepy. I bought the new one the other day as well.
  2. I've got just over 200 pages to go now, and although I'm still enjoying it, I'm getting a slight feeling that it might be one of those books which goes on a bit too long.
  3. Good topic! Creepy old houses in the middle of the countryside Ruined abbeys Stone circles Quiet coastal locations eg creepy marshes Bad weather especially fog or snow, very atmospheric!
  4. I totally agree with you Will, especially when the slightest, most inane thing is posted on social media (eg I'm in Costa having a latte, who cares! I don't), or people get torn apart for merely expressing an opinion, sometimes on the most mundane of subjects. which is why I don't do social media very much,.
  5. No I haven't. I've got Howards End...... but haven't read it yet.
  6. Hope you're feeling better soon, sounds nasty.
  7. Yes it'll be interesting to see how they all fare when they have to go into the real world and maybe do something that doesn't involve following instructions on a screen all day. Mind you on the bus I do see some younger children reading books, so there's hope......
  8. We had a torrential downpour yesterday morning, luckily I was on the bus at the time! Pretty windy too.
  9. I read a letter from someone in the UK who went to the US, was trying to get some wine in a supermarket but when he asked where it was, the assistant said they didn't sell it as it was a family supermarket - meanwhile they were selling guns and ammo.....
  10. Thought Doctor Foster was just silly, those two deserve each other. Still like Bake Off - didn't expect to, I like Sandi, still not sure about Noel though.
  11. Quite a haul in Waterstone's yesterday: Thin Air - Michelle Paver The Third Nero - Lindsey Davis The Executioner of St Paul's - Susanna Gregory The Travelling Bag - Susan Hill
  12. I thought Red Dragon was the first one? I've only read Hannibal and thought that was pretty trashy, so haven't bothered with the others.
  13. Yesterday was lovely, quite warm and even had lunch sitting outside! meant to get windy and rainy tonight though.
  14. Everybody wants to rule the World - Tears for Fears - oops,. thought this was the song title thread!
  15. I'm hoping to read "Season of the Witch" by Natasha Mostert for Halloween. A Discovery of Witches (+ it's 2 sequels) by Deborah Harkness The Drowning Pool and Witch Hunt, both by Syd Moore
  16. Oh no I didn't find it arrogant at all, just wondering how you found the time to read them all! I appreciate some of them were short reads, but it's still a great total!
  17. Good luck, sounds like you're on fairly safe ground, so important to find good workmen now!
