  1. Did enjoy this but .... too many themes I think and a trite ending? goof though Sinema by Rodd Glenn very very scarey, but good tight plot, characters and real evil!
  2. And me (although the two I have read of yours Elizabeth were bought! crawl crawl)
  3. But great fun! But that must be very annoying. I am a history teacher and have forgotten all the history I ever knew but did read the sequel to this which was set in 1340s and it seemed to be exactly the same. It must be quite frustrating for you to have done lots of historical research....
  4. Have only heard good things about this book, good job its in the library!
  5. He's mine!!!!!!!! I've read, and loved the Greatest Knight and Daughters of the Grail. Think I preferred the former as it seemed to based in fact and somehow I learned a lot in the nicest possible way! Are you a full time writer?
  6. You both want to be me then!!!!!!! :)
  7. Its tough at the moment but someone said it would be so am persevering
  8. I loved it, can't remember it being difficult but would do the chapters option
  9. Bones to Ashes Kathy reichs, think she is getting better, less gory but too much medicine! Paullina Simons The Girl in Times Square
  10. Someone has just lent me a load of Jane Green books, and I feel a bit the same, think I'm a bit past her!
  11. Yes to the drumming and I am beside myself! Mia, you must have been sitting on my sofa, my nine year old cried
  12. I haven't have jumped about and made very little difference to me
  13. I love that feeling, I'm there too and think its Kathy reichs next !
  14. "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." -By Margery Williams, from The Velveteen rabbit
  15. Ken Follett one was good but very similar to Pillars. Agatha Raisin one and cannot remember the name! Kissing Christmas Goodbye
  16. Updating, Blood of Flowers was great, the tale of carpet makers in Iran and the activities of one woman, quite steamy at times !!! But a good story, strong characters and easy to read. Matchmaker of Perigord Julia Stuart, the story of a mad French country town, lots of food, lots of funny events around matchmaking and lovely characters. Ken Follett sequel to Pillar of Earth and very much the same!
  17. Well I couldn't remember his name!
  18. Barbecue, went mad because I said that OH had done too much food and guess what ... we ran out!
  19. Also Matthew Bartholomew Susanna Gregory
  20. Sorry only just seen this, it was nothing major at all, a chest infection that I would have put down as a cold but doctor gave him abs and he was fine. His went really fast so they were there, I rang the doctor, got an appointment and by the time we got there (our doctors are very good so was only about 20 minutes later) they had gone!
  21. Death at the Devil's Tavern Deryn Lake Sort of like Thomas Challoner by Susanna Gregory (although slightly later) easy to read another good history mystery and I will be looking for more of this author. Matchmaker of Perigord Julia Stuart Promising so far ..........
  22. I missed your birthday, sorry! Hope it was great

  23. My littley had what I thought was nettle rash on his back.... you know what I mean, white weals rathers than pimples, it was the sign of an infection and had antibiotics.
  24. I loved it too, and really made me cry as well, proper sobbing but in a strange way it was uplifting, never made me feel depressed just very sad. I had sore eyes the next day and I have a lump in my throat now
  25. Sounds like a plan!
