Absolutely loved it

I finished Pig Island this afternoon. The first part of this book was REALLY scary, I did put it down once and I haven't done that in a while. The second part is more psychological scary, just like her other books. A very freaky read but good none the less. Next I will read Hood (bk 1 King Raven Trilogy)~ Stephen R, Lawhead A new reign of terror has brought fear and hatred to the land, while an ancient legend stirs in the heart of the wildwood ...The Norman conquest of England is complete - but for one young man the battle has only just begun. When Bran ap Brychan's father is murdered by Norman soldiers, he flees to London, seeking justice. The journey is long and hard - and the suffering of those he meets along the way fuels his anger. With his demands dismissed, Bran has no choice but to return home, but a worse fate still awaits him there. His lands have been confiscated and his people subjugated by a brutal and corrupt regime. Should Bran flee for his life or protect his people by surrendering to his father's murderers? The answer, perhaps, is known only to the Raven King - a creature of myth and magic born of the darkest shadows in the forest. Stephen R. Lawhead's Hood brings to life the legend of Robin Hood as never before.

Tucking into my Rose tonight. Lovely. very erm, palatable

had a little old lady in the PDSA shop recommend him to me today, she didn't look like a Patterson reader to me, it was unexpected.

.... it's still very nice....hic

Currently drinking a lovely red wine, very more-ish called Saint Clair from Lussac Saint-Emilion. Yummy.

I don't mind lending but people always want my favourite books. They always pick up my brand spanking new copies that are really for show and only to be read with gloves on!! They are never interested in the large pile of scruffy paperbacks by the bed

That's what I'm hoping for. I love Red but I can't drink a lot as I find it very heady so I'm looking for a lighter alternative.

I have a Rose for tonight.... Kumala. It was half price in Somerfield so I got myself a treat, and as it was half price I got the Kumala Zenith Red to go with it

it's very odd scary. not monsters under the bed but nasty people living in your street scary if you get me???

She is a fantastic writer if you want the pants scared off you

I'm a big liar liar pants on fire, I've decided to pick up Mo Hayder ~ Pig Island instead. Jounalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes. A born sceptic, he believes everything has a rational explanation. But when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. Questions mount: Why has the community been accused of Satanism? What has happened to their leader, Pastor Malachi Dove? And, perhaps most important, why will no one discuss the strange apparition seen wandering the lonely beaches of Pig Island? Their confrontation, and it's violent and bloody aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oaksey to question the nature of evil, and whether he might not be responsible for the terrible crime about to unfold. In her compulsive and haunting new novel, Mo Hayder dares her readers to face their fears head on and to look at what lurks beneath the surface of everyday normailty. Pig Island is about the unspeakable things people can do to each other. Brace yourself for a terrifying read.

I finished Eragon this afternoon. I absolutely love this book and it was so nice to read it again after so long. O's has stolen the book I got out of the library and planned to read next so I think I mught just read Eldest, the next book on from Eragon.

I'm about half way through this one now and I can't believe how much of it I had forgotten. It's almost as good as reading it the first time around. Is anybody else reading this one?? How are you enjoying it so far?

I did find that the first time I read it I had to pay extra attention until I knew who the characters were and where they were from. After the first 100 pages it's plain sailing, he just has to get the history in so you know where he is taking the story. I found the map helpful too.

I can't wait for the film I adore the books. I'm still waiting for the final installment but I don't think he's even started writing it yet.....

Back from my Tuesday jaunt to the car boot and the library. I only managed to get one book from the library as they had a poor selection today (and they have been moving shelves around ) I got Hood ~ Stephen R. Lawhead. Although O's did get a couple that I might pinch to read too I got a bargain in Help The Aged too with 3 for 99p I got Insomnia ~ Stephen King, The Straw Men ~ Michael Marshall (for O's) and Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley. All in all another good day Back to Eragon now though.

Starting this one this evening. I can't wait. I really loved this book when I first bought it and I can't believe that was over two years ago. It was a whim buy in Waterstone's after I found nothing else I liked in Liverpool. The train journey home was the highlight of the day, with my spanking new book

I finished Witch Child today and also read The Little Prisoner ~ Jane Elliott. I'm now looking for something a bit more fun and upbeat. I think I shall start Eragon for the reading circle as I know I enjoyed that book last time.

I'm about half way through Witch Child now and I'm really enjoying it. I love Celia Rees writing style.

I had seen that one on her website and thought it looked quite good. I may get hold of it when I finally work my through some of the others I have waiting.

I tried it but it failed to capture me. I was quite bored by the halfway point and wishing it would pick up story wise. I wasn't captivated by the huge descriptive passages of, well, not much really, and I do feel like I missed out on something great but I just couldn't see it. A bit like those magic eye pictures..... I never was too good at them either.

I loved this book. Lovely story and a real thought provoker.

Although I did manage to read it through, I really started to dislike it about two thirds in. I think it's because it is all one sided narrative and you don't really know.

I have to say that The queen of the Tambourine, although slightly amusing, did get a bit tedious towards the end. I did find myself questioning my own sanity whilst reading it, which is never a good sign Now I am reading Celia Rees ~ Witch Child Pages from a journal are loosely sewn into a quilt. A quilt that lies undisturbed for more that three hundred years until it is carefully taken apart for cleaning and out of it's folds falls a powerful and moving story. The story of Mary - granddaughter of a witch.
