  1. Chrissy, if I were you, I'd pick a book of short stories. That's what I normally do when my mojo deserts me.
  2. They are really annoying.
  3. Oh no!

    World Cup 2010

    We are holding pools at work, and everyone is pretty excited. The usual suspects are the favorites.
  5. I know. Then I tried to backtrack, and another colleague who was listening said - 'The best thing to do is to stop talking'.
  6. A year or so ago, I commented to one of the managers at work, about how awful it was to get your nose broken while practising sports, as he must have done.... His reply - I never broke my nose, neither while doing sports, nor doing anything else.
  7. Goodness Paula, you're amazing! You go through books like a knife through butter. Thanks for the reviews, I enjoy reading them.
  8. I know, mine are too. However my TBR is the biggest it has ever been, as well.
  9. Thanks Rose. Will try to read it before I watch the movie then.
  10. Just One Look by Harlan Coben ISBN 978-0-7528-6381-8 I think this is my first Harlan Coben, and boy, am I glad I discovered him! A brakeless thriller which I could not put down, and a mystery which is only unearthed in the very last pages. Painter Grace Lawson picked up a packet of holiday prints, and with her pictures she discovers what seems to be an old photo of her husband with 4 other people. When she confronts her husband, he drives off somewhere and disappears. Meanwhile a brutal killer is on the lose, motive unknown and a hitman in jail confesses to an old murder - which had been put down as a terrible accident. People from Grace's past have also appeared again. Everything seems to have some sort of connection, and Grace is struggling to find the link and find her husband. I could not put this book down before I found out who, why, when and where. I had to give up my beauty sleep last night, and drag myself to work, half asleep, this morning!

  15. Did we have Kabul, Afghanistan?
  16. I love Jasper Fforde's books - they're incredible....but I don't see the attraction in getting that jacket.
  17. Made me smile. I read it as Day One, and thought, she chose that on purpose!
  18. Chocolate (either dark or any Cadbury) Pasta Cheese Lamb Green Peppers (not counting black coffee and red wine, as I'd classify those as drinks)
