    Hi Mac, how are you? Oh you are not rubbish!, I'm fine, working, etc, and did I hear you have a kitten? :)

  3. Oh the drama! Thanks for the link Fi! We finally get a date for Breaking Dawn but there might be different actors/actresses!
  4. Great review Lexie, I enjoyed it too, I agree wholeheartedly about how lyrical the writing was, and I think the way Carrie Ryan described the woods was excellent, you could see how dark and cold it was, excellent writing, I am going to order the sequel
  5. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan ~ Started: 07.05.10 ~ Finished: 10.05.10 In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary's truths are failing her. She's learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future - between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death? I was pleasantly surprised by 'The Forest of Hands and Teeth', it was definitely not what I expected, a interesting story, I liked the idea of the village being surrounded by zombies or as they are called in the book, 'The Unconsecrated'. A definite must read for zombie fans and I am ordering the sequel 'The Dead~Tossed Waves' today.

  15. Now by Morris Gleitzman ~ Started: 06.05.10 ~ Finished: 07.05.10 Synopsis ~ Morris Gleitzman's acclaimed story of friends Felix and Zelda in Nazi-occupied Poland has captured the hearts and minds of readers worldwide. In Now he delivers the final chapter, bringing this most moving of stories into the present day. 'Now' is the final book of the series following 'Once' and 'Then', the story of Felix Salinger, a young Jewish boy trying to keep himself and his friend, Zelda safe from the Nazis. 'Once and 'Then' brought tears to my eyes, as did 'Now' In 'Now' Felix is now 80 years old, a retired surgeon and living in Australia, his grand~daughter Zelda comes to live with him when her parents (both doctors) go to Darfur. Zelda misses her parents and friends but adores living with her beloved grandfather and his dog, Jumble. Zelda is having some problems at school, she is being bullied, she does not want to worry her grandfather because of the stories her parents told about Felix's childhood and the bullies (the Nazis), Zelda feels it will bring back memories for Felix, Felix knows what is happening and tells Zelda the best thing to do, tell an adult and have a friend to support you, which Zelda does in some way, her new friend, Josh who suffers from asthma. As the story progresses, Zelda finds out more about Felix as he tells her parts of his story but Felix has left out an important part of the story which he cannot tell Zelda but he may have to. 'Now' is just as powerful 'Once' and 'Then', it is written for children but it is written in such a way that its gets the message across of how much was lost for so many people, especially children, Felix is a strong but subtle character who has a quiet strength, as does Zelda. All of the books can be read separately and I hope you get the chance to read them. A wonderful read.
  16. Thanks Charm, its a cool read
  17. Hi Kylie I loved 'The Real Ghostbusters' and 'Changing Channels', I think its been the best series so far

  19. I just about to start 'Now' by Morris Gleitzman
  20. White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi ~ Started: 24.04.10 ~ Finished: 06.05.10 Synopsis ~ High on the cliffs near Dover, the Silver family is reeling from the loss of Lily, mother of twins Eliot and Miranda, and beloved wife of Luc. Miranda misses her with particular intensity. Their mazy, capricious house belonged to her mother’s ancestors, and to Miranda, newly attuned to spirits, newly hungry for chalk, it seems they have never left. Forcing apples to grow in winter, revealing and concealing secret floors, the house is fiercely possessive of young Miranda. Joining voices with her brother and her best friend Ore, it tells her story: haunting in every sense, and a spine-tingling tribute to the power of magic, myth and memory. This was quite an odd story, at times a bit confusing, especially with conflicting narratives. A book I may be need to read again to understand it better.
