Hourglass by Claudia Gray ~ Started: 12.08.10 ~ Finished: 14.08.10 Synopsis ~ Bianca will risk everything to be with Lucas. After escaping from Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school where they met, Bianca and Lucas take refuge with Black Cross, a fanatical group of vampire hunters. Bianca must hide her supernatural heritage or risk certain death at their hands. But when Black Cross captures her friend – the vampire Balthazar – hiding is no longer an option. Soon, Bianca and Lucas are on the run again, pursued not only by Black Cross, but by the powerful leaders of Evernight. Yet no matter how far they travel, Bianca can't escape her destiny. Bianca has always believed their love could survive anything… but can it survive what's to come? 'Hourglass' is the third book in the 'Evernight' series by Claudia Gray. 'Hourglass' starts where 'Stargazer' left off, Bianca and Lucas have escaped from the now destroyed Evernight Academy and have joined the Black Cross, the vampire hunter group which Lucas was raised within, Lucas and Bianca must hide the fact that Bianca is a vampire, the Black Cross's greatest enemy and also hide from Bianca's parents and Mrs Bethany, the headmistress of Evernight Academy. 'Hourglass' is definitely the best book in the series, it was more fast moving, the story was stronger and there was shocks along the way, which I enjoyed. The best part of the series is seeing Bianca and Lucas changing, they are getting older and making their own decisions. The book finishes on a cliffhanger, which frustrated me because the next book, 'Afterlife' is not due for release until next year.

No problem CW The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame ~ Started: 11.08.10 ~ Finished: 14.08.10 Synopsis ~ One of the most celebrated works of classic literature for children, The Wind in the Willows follows Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger from one adventure to the next - in gipsy caravans, stolen sports cars, to prison and back to the Wild Wood. A story of animal cunning and human camaraderie, this remains a timeless tale nearly 100 years after its publication. 'The Wind in the Willows' is just a lovely tale and it has stood the test of time. I always remember from the first time I read it, the chapter called 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' (but I did not know the name of the chapter until I read the book this time around). I loved that chapter so much, the idea of Pan helping Little Portly and Rat and Mole hearing the music was just magical to me, secret music that they seem to forget but it stayed with them in a small way. A lovely read, a book for sharing.

That is so lovely bunny, of course Murphy should have be there for your big day You have seen enough photos of them to know that I have two cats, Dylan (who is completely white and for some reason, adores me!) and Quinn (who is a tabby) and rules us

Loving Abby's, its the cutest, Charm's too, its different, I like it :)And of course the neck ~ thanks peacefield

Hi Kylie, I read 'The Wind in the Willows' years ago and I enjoyed it but I feel like I am reading a new book

peacefield, charm, they are really good, some of the writing is not the best in the first book but the books gets better and they have loads of potential and no snarling zombies!
