Aimed at the young teen... But everyone should read this.. 'The Outsiders' by S.E. Hinton The Socs's idea of having a good time is beating up Greasers like Ponyboy, the rough, tough, long-haired kids from the other side of town. Ponyboy knows what to expect and knows he can count on his friends - until the night someone goes too far. I Loved it! One to keep... Hope I have posted this in the right place Wabbit x :wave:

Yes Try them Kell They are perfect for bookmarks .. I also use them in my bag, makes it smell lovely The whole family get them for me now Wabbit x :wave:

At home I often use my mobile but mostly postcards, photo's, or those free perfume strips shops hand out, makes the book smell wonderful Dog ear... noooo never :shock: Have some lovely beaded Book thongs I use for fav hardbacks... Wabbit x :wave:

I keep most of mine, do swap the odd double... Did try to reduce them a little while back and took a whole boxfull to the charity shop, hate to admit it, :oops: but next day I went in and bought a lot of them back wabbit x :wave:

Icecream, Have you read these... :shock: They went round and round my Office awhile back, and most went on to get their own copy to keep This Present Darkness & Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti BOTH Fantastic reads... I really Can't find the words to say how exciting these books are so taken this ... from Amazon Reviews .... If you think that Christians are a bunch of boring old stiffs in huge, ancient buildings, with an old dude in a skirt prattling on at the front - think again!............ Though fiction, this book is pretty much what life is like for me, with the exception that sometimes it isnt just the angels doing all the fighting. Not only does the narrative explore an active Christian's faith in a breathtakingly exciting way, it also makes for an excellent read. As soon as I picked it up, I was thrown into the deep end as the whole thing opens like a small snowball making its way towards the edge of the cliff - with an avalanche being the result! .... These two titles really gripped the imagination and challenged the spirit. It is the clever intertwining of the personal and troubled lives of the inhabitants of a small town with the cosmic battle between angels and demons that leaves the heart racing and the mind spinning. A definate must read can't put down blockbuster that will make you look at the world around you in a completely different way, but remember; it's only fiction.........or is it? As the storyline hurtles towards the end, you're suddenly gripped by the reality of it all; as if it was happening around you in your own room. Wabbit x :wave:

Not much help, The only info I've found on this book so far, ....... 'Updated With Two Extra Chapters - Maureen McKenna was an alcoholic about to have an amazing turn-around. She met Hugh at Alcoholics Anonymous, was miraculously prevented from committing suicide and became a Christian. Hugh and Maureen married and worked with street people in Glasgow but, realising that people needed more than food and clothes, they set up 'Open Door Trust Glasgow'. Sadly, after only five years, Maureen developed cancer and died after a short illness. Hugh continues in the work. The only reward Maureen wanted was in heaven but shortly before she died she was honoured as 'Scotswoman of the Year.' will keep my eyes open :shock: Wabbit x :wave:

Pleased it helped you Inver ((hugs)) xx I also have this book, keeping it to take on holiday, erm with a few others 8-) Wabbit x :wave:

Well I enjoyed going round her house, was much more interesting than reading her book 'Emma' its very slow going having probs picking it up now... just not enjoying it :| does it get better? Wabbit x :wave:

Yes GO! Think its going to be an all time fav place of mine ... would defy go again, Very unlike me as once I have been somewhere that's it...Such a lot to look at.... Even the garden was lovely with all the old fashioned plants.. it reminded me a little of 'The Secret Garden' as you walk through an arched bush to the 2nd hidden half.... I can't say enough just how much we enjoyed it. Can wander and sit in the garden as long as you want... I read the first page of 'Emma' out there ... then we wandered around the House again.... Loved it! LOVED IT I Will stop going on about it now... its really Lovely :shock: though :oops: Wabbit x :wave:

Little update on Our trip today to Jane Austen's House WOW! its well worth a visit...I highly recommed it... Very nice helpful staff, just a lovely elderly couple who love the house, their work and Jane.........and they answered all my silly questions... lol Wonderful seeing Jane's home, things, esp the little table she sat at in the window to write, etc.. loads of free info + lots of interesting items, from a print of a prayer written in her hand only 50p and loads of items to buy as keepsakes, not to mention the great bookshop in one of the rooms, with so many choices of her books, from lovely gilt edge and cloth bound collector's library HB (which I bought of 'Emma') for
