  5. had always been a great believer in that maxim, although he thought it was 'What's in the gins is more important than what's in the jeans'. He could do with a stiff gin now, he thought, after the latest shocking news. And it might help get rid of the foul taste of sheep bollock pasties, the old crone had practically forced on him. So reeling from a combination of the news and a distinct inclination to throw up, he ............

  9. I did too, he writes the most interesting characters
  10. Good going Chrissy! It's great to have a series of books you just want to keep reading. I loved her books too and always thought Harriet was well ahead of time as far as being liberated and independent. She's also very intelligent
  11. Which did you like best Muggles, The Hundred Year Old Man or The Girl Who Save the King ? Have you read any Agatha Christie before?

  18. Where Do The Children Play? ~ Cat Stevens
  19. torn and ragged. As Dex quickened his pace, the fellow took strange leaping steps to try and catch up. Dex quickly shot down an alley way and into a dark little shop. The door tinkled shut behind him and as his eyes accustomed to the darkness, he saw .....
  20. Come a Little Closer ~ Cage the Elephant
  21. Closer ~ Kings of Leon
  22. I think I'd have to go with the wedding people's choice, To Kill A Mockingbird, for fiction. For non-fiction I'd choose either Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals, for it's pure joyfulness, or Mr God, This Is Anna by Fynn. I have to agree with Raven though about book loves being so personal. Two of my friends who I recommended Mr God, This Is Anna to didn't like it much and I've read on here criticism of Durrell's book as being too idyllic.
