She looks so comfortable!

I finished The Drowning Pool by Syd Moore yesterday, and enjoyed it much more than her second book Witch Hunt. This was my Halloween ghost story, and it was a bit spooky, as a young widow, Sarah Grey, finds herself being haunted by the ghost of an earlier Sarah Grey, a local woman who was meant to have been a witch, and who died under mysterious circumstances after supposedly conjuring up a storm at sea. Sarah is struggling to raise her young son whilst working as a teacher, but instead spends most of the summer holidays trying to find out what really happened to her predecessor. I enjoyed this, there were some genuinely creepy moments and the original story was sad, and is apparently partly based on a real sea-witch from the 19th century. The ending was a little bit corny, although I liked the way that a logical explanation was also given for the events in the final confrontation. 8/10

I don't think this series of Ordinary Lies is as good as the first one, do you?

We did an eye too, it was interesting.

Lovely sunny day today, cold though - the gloves have come out for the first time this winter!

I like that series, number 3 has just started on Alibi, it's quite different to the first 2 series though. Amazing how they manage to scoot around Europe so quickly!

Yes I wondered what happened to those letters as well! Echoes - Maeve Binchy

Yes she was very clompy. I think we said last year that the costumes can get in the way of the dancing, but yes the music selection is very odd. Some fabulous make up though.

I really enjoyed The Radleys, thought it was a fresh take in a rather overdone genre.

Bit foggy today but not as bad as it has been, quite cold too.

Haven't seen the show, the film was OK. I like the books though, think they're better than Twilight as they haven't run out of steam yet or got repetitive like they did.

HI Lilia and welcome, what part of Italy do you live in? I hope you're not near the earthquakes, awful.
