    Hello

    Hello and welcome, I'm sure you'll love it here.
  5. Hello and welcome from me too.
  6. Pork and mushroom curry with rice, homemade by hubby (but a tad too spicy for me!)
  7. I tend to go for the blurb on the back if I'm buying or browsing, I don't really pay any attention to the covers. I currently own all of both Lesley Pearse's and Martina Cole's books as they are 2 authors I really enjoy. The reviews from members on here also influence both my reading and buying of books, I can honestly say that being here has broadened my horizons widely and some of the books which have been recommended I have gone on to buy to re-read in the future.
  8. Hello and welcome Graeme.
  9. Just this minute reserved a copy from my local library, can't wait to read it
  10. Great review supergran. I'll keep a look out for this one.
  11. tortellini and allioli on toasted crusty bread.
  12. Hi Michelle just popped by to say thanks for the message and no worries I'll keep a look out for Linda's book, might even try the library.

  13. Just popping by to say hello and I love you pic. I have a golden lab called Jasper and a lab/collie cross called Jake. As supergran said below, reading Marley & Me you will recognise your dog.

  14. Hello and welcome vampirebloom.
  15. Sounds like a lovely book look forward to reading your comments Nici.
  16. Can't wait I think you hit the nail on the head there Linda, when reading Emo Geo I actually felt an affinity towards Rose. I liked her and wanted to know more about her and why she ended up where she was. To me the book made her come alive. Incidently I remember a while back a thread about 'your ideal location' or something similar and I remember putting down that I would love to be in an isolated cottage preferably by the sea, just me and my dogs so for me Rose moved to a perfect place. I'd love to up sticks and do that (just need to find a way to get rid of hubbie and the 2 kids still at home ) Right now I could throttle him ggrrrhhhhh, he's had a few beers and all I'm getting is Jue Jue cup of tea please, Jue Jue check ebay for me and so on. He's just not quite drunk enough to be asleep!!!!!
  17. I had to review the penguin classic read I was given and I was honest with my review and they did publish it on their website, even though it was short and not complimentary. I prefer to take on board the reviews from this forum rather than say amazon and so far I've not been disappointed. Before joining here I just went on the blurb on the back of a book I rarely paid any attention to review.
  18. Linda just wanted to say I loved Emotional Geology, I couldn't put it down! I even got up early this morning to get a bit more reading in I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.
  19. Still reading COAUS but inbetween I've read Emotional Geology by Linda Gillard, for anyone who hasn't read it, do. A page turner from start to finish I couldn't put it down, I read it it under 6 hours Look forward to reading more of Linda's work.
