Hello

Haha I know Oh yes! I have a goodreads account which I keep adding books to. My buying habit is too much too so I have to stop myself because I'm not a fast enough reader.

1. CAKE: The cake has sunk in the middle. Pick a book that didn't rise to your expectations. I wouldn't say I thought this would be one of the greatest books of all time but after seeing the film numerous times and it been right up my street I was disappointed with 'The Devil Wears Prada' by Lauren Weisberger. Andy was just a brat 2. BISCUITS: Once you've eaten one, you’re hungry for more and each time you eat another, they get more and more delicious. Pick a book series or trilogy that got progressively better. I haven't read any 3. BREAD: Kneading dough requires hard work and determination. Pick a book that you put off reading for ages and needed a lot of determination to pick up.[/b] I would have to say Shakespeare. I am jealous of those who can read him easily. I enjoy his work I can just find it a little intimidating. I think 'War and Peace' is a book I'll long to read and put it off 4. DESSERTS: Foreign deserts such as crème brûlée and Spanische Windtorte are on the menu. Pick a book set in a foreign country. 'The Help' Kathryn Stockett 5. ALTERNATIVE INGREDIENTS: Not usually used, but surprisingly good. Pick a book from a genre you wouldn't normally read but ended up loving. From science fiction 'Frankenstein' Mary Shelley 6. PASTRY: Shortcrust pastry can crumble easily. Pick a character who you initially liked, but as you read more and more, your relationship with them crumbled apart. I think I would have to pick the character Anna from 'RSVP' Helen Warner 7. VICTORIAN/OLD-FASHIONED BAKES: Recipes from the past that still taste delicious today. Pick your favourite classic novel. I can't choose a favourite. As many as there are out there that I haven't read 8. PATISSERIE: You’re eating a chocolate éclair but there’s barely any filling inside. Pick a book that lacked substance and fell flat. I am not sure what I want to say for this question. I have read a couple of books where the storyline for me was neither here nor there. 'Sense and Sensbility' Jane Austen and 'If You Could See Me Now' Cecelia Ahern I could be misreading the question 9. CHOCOLATE: Chocolate is a comfort food for many people. Pick a book you could read again and again and still find comforting. There are many books I could read over and over 'Rebecca' Daphne du Murier 'Twenties Girl' Sophie Kinsella 'Wuthering Heights' Emily Bronte which is a top favourite of mine that I have read this year. However as there as many books I haven't read I don't look to reread books. Maybe in the future 10. THE GRAND FINAL: Everyone is out to impress with extravagant show-stoppers! Pick your favourite book of the year so far that really impressed you. 'Wuthering Heights' Emily Bronte I have read a couple of Stephen King and he is fast becoming a favourite of mine

Exactly there are too many authors out there I want to read that I haven't yet. I must have close to 2000 books on my to read shelf

1) Some Like It Hot 1959 My favourite of all time and will always have the number one spot. The rest are in no particular order but are films I love 2) Pretty Woman 1990 3) Stepmom 1998 4) Father of the Bride 1991 5) Grease 1978 6) Bringing Up Baby 1938 7) Nine To Five 1980 8) Goodbye Mr Chips 1939 9) My Man Godfrey 1936 10) Monkey Business 1952

100% agree

I have five of Ahern's novels on my book shelf. Three which I have read. Two I loved PS I Love You and How To Fall In Love and one I disliked If You Could See Me Now. I do really like her and look forward to reading some of her other books

thank you everyone Hi Hayley, I haven't come across that book before so I had a look on goodreads. It looks interesting so will have to see if I can seek it out. thank you for the recommendation I think so far 'Hound of the Baskervilles', 'Silver Blaze', 'The Cooper Beeches','The Speckled Band'

I love this series of books. I have read 'The Lady of the Rivers, 'The White Queen' and 'The Red Queen' so far I am also looking forward to reading the Tudor Court

thank you, Anna

Thanks so much for the welcomes Frankie, I have only read 3 of her books and loved them all but that is my favourite without a doubt
