Really glad you enjoyed the last two books. Those two are right up my street so I'm hoping I'll feel the same when I've read them Enjoy your holiday. Sounds like you'll be very busy.

thank you, Shirley it was great fun. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Did the Race For Life yesterday at Clumber Park. Was a great day out and good to see my family, my brother in law's family as well as my brother's girlfriend's family.

I am looking forward to reading it. I haven't actually read any of George's novels as of yet but actually think all of her work is on my to read pile. Be my guest. thank you very much

I would love to go to Barnes and Noble. Enjoy the Lake District, Brian

Thank you, Frankie I love Stephen King so I have high hopes.

I have that on my tbr Bought quite a few books over a few days starting from last weekend The Green Mile Stephen King The Young Victoria Alison Plowden Katherine Howard: The Tragic Story Of Henry VIII's Fifth Queen Josephine Wilkinson The Italian Woman and Queen Jezebel Jean Plaidy The Doris Day Vintage Film Club Fiona Harper The One Hundred And One Dalmatians Dodie Smith The Sunne In Splendour Sharon Penman Phew!

Such lovely news on the new arrival! Hope all is well and she can go home very soon.

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my all time favourite reads. Thought it was brilliant how it was written from a child's point of view. Hope you enjoy all your reads

Not buying/borrowing books is a tough thing to do. Good luck I love that feeling when you feel that connected to the characters and the settings.

Wow! Great stuff It is interesting to see you prefer reading in 3rd person. I would love to see all the details of books I have read. I like write down how many books I have read each month and from male or female etc. How long did this take to do? Also how did you organise all this is there a programme you use on your computer?

I usually read at least two books at a time. I find it hard to read only one. Even if I am really enjoying the book. I recently decided to put three books at a time on my currently reading shelf on goodreads. I had this habit of adding lots and I wasn't reading them.

This is a lovely topic. Thought I would revive it. This happened six or seven years ago when I worked in Poundland (a shop that sells items for £1 each) over the Christmas period. One, extremely busy day a customer comes to my checkout and is wanting to buy some Christmas plates. She only has one so I tell her "you can get three for £1. Would you like me to get somebody to bring you some more?" She replies yes and so I ring for someone. Now she has been waiting a good ten minutes at this point and not once complained. I don't work in retail now but I have also worked in Primark in the past and she is one of the nicest, understanding customers I had. This Easter my brother (28) bought my sister (29) an Easter egg because she didn't have one Today: I bought some books

I recently bought the latest Bridget Jones book. Sorry to hear it wasn't an enjoyment for you. Nothing selfish about not wanting children or even disliking them. There are too many overly spoilt children around. I don't know myself if I do or not. Possible in the future. I can't be sure of books where a female character hasn't wanted children and it's stayed that way throughout. If I am honest it's not something I've looked for. However now I think it could be a very interesting and important part of a story. As it seems in society if you are a woman you must want children and if not then "what is wrong with you?!"

Aww Virginia, your granddaughter is gorgeous! Glad to hear she is doing well!

It is good to be with someone who won't end up running off and leaving you. Hope you enjoyed your dancing a shame work got in the way. Went for a run yesterday. The end of our street joins a bypass and we saw three roosters in the woody area. Just hanging out.

I love it when somebody else hates beans! I love Heinz spaghetti so people will say to me "it's the same sauce" Yes well done Sherlock! I said I don't like beans! I also hate chickpeas.

That sounds lovely, Talisman Had chicken polenta and roasted peppers and onions. Followed by a homemade raspberry mousse.

Watching Couples Come Dine With Me now.

You assume correct I'm from England.

Hello and welcome I love your photo!

I am glad you liked it It is nice when you're pleasantly surprised.

Hehe I don't usually use this very often but it is what I have on goodreads too so I thought I'd use the same. I have so many nicknames it's very weird when people actually call me Lauren. That's okay it's only because it's really common in my country. I suppose it's not that bad and just me being silly

Yayh! It's a shame about the television show though.
