Great review Lexie

Looking forward to reading your thoughts Fi, it was a lovely read, there was some sad parts and funny parts, a nice easy read.

Another great review and I will definitely borrow 'The Bone Collector' from my sister

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg ~ Started: 13.01.10 ~ Finished: 14.01.10 Synopsis ~ A novel, both funny and macabre, which ties in with the film of the same name, starring Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates. ‘Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe’ begins with the ‘Weems Weekly’, the local newsletter written by Dot Weems, which is very funny, Dot’s insights are hilarious and appear throughout the book with the timeline of events in Whistle Stop. The story begins with Evelyn Couch, a depressed and lonely housewife, held back most of her life because of her own fears and trying to find out who she is, she meets Virginia ‘Ninny’ Threadgoode in the Rose Terrace nursing home whilst visiting her mother in law, a woman who treats Evelyn with disdain and complaints. Ninny begins telling Evelyn the story of Whistle Stop, the cafe, the Threadgoodes and their lives. I enjoyed ‘Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe’ immensely, I loved reading about the different characters and their lives, Evelyn, Ninny, Idgie, Ruth, Stump, Big George and Sipsey were all rich characters, and there was so many other rich characters that made the book an absolutely gorgeous read. There is something for everyone, enjoy! Rating: 10/10

Death Note volume 1 by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata ~ Started: 12.01.10 ~ Finished: 13.01.10 Synopsis ~ Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal...or his life? Light tests the boundaries of the Death Note's powers as L and the police begin to close in. Luckily Light's father is the head of the Japanese National Police Agency and leaves vital information about the case lying around the house. With access to his father's files, Light can keep one step ahead of the authorities. But who is the strange man following him, and how can Light guard against enemies whose names he doesn't know?. ‘Death Note ~ Volume 1’ is the first book of thirteen volumes of the manga series by Tsugumi Ohba (writer) and Takeshi Obata (artist). ‘Death Note’ is the story of Light Yagami who finds the Death Note after it is dropped by Ryuk, a Shinigami death god, the reason for dropping it? Well Ryuk was bored and he loves to watch how humans react to the power of the book. The rules of the Death Note are simple but many ~ 1. The human whose name is written in this note shall die. 2. If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person’s name, it will happen. If the cause is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack. 3. This note shall become property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world. 4. The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven or Hell 5. The person in possession of the DEATH NOTE is possessed by a god of death, its original owner until they die. 6. If a human uses the note, a death god usually appears in front of him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note 7. A god of death has no obligation to completely explain how to use then note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it. 8. The human who becomes the owner of the DEATH NOTE can in exchange of half of his/her remaining life get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable him/her to see a human’s name and remaining lifetime when looking through them. Light decides to use the Death Note to rid the world of criminals, as the death toll rises, Light becomes known as ‘Kira’ which is derived from the typical Japanese pronunciation of the English word ‘killer’, now he has the IPA (International Police Organisation) after him and the mysterious detective ‘L’, who has to be one of the coolest characters ever! A great read, a bit confusing at first, until I found out, somewhat embarrassingly, I was reading it the wrong way, it must be read from right to left (as the original Japanese format was), as opposed to English which is read left to right. The writing and illustrations are excellent. I enjoyed the first volume, one down, and twelve to go. Rating: 10/10

What a great review Mac and thank you for sharing I say this so often but I will say it again, the beauty of Haruki Murakami is the fact that he knows people, his insights are amazingly in depth but at the same time, so simple and it is lovely to read, to experience.

Yes indeed! the commentary will be fab!

So many dates isn't there? I read it might be sometime in March, I have a notification on amazon to tell when the dvd is being released and its also on my wishlist, so I can spring into action and order it.

Don't be worrying about the link Fi, thanks for posting it and fab cover for the dvd

Charm ~ you are a gem

My favourite Otherworld couple next to Elena and Clay

I am so glad you enjoyed 'Dime Store Magic', it is a great introduction to Paige, Lucas and Savannah, I also liked how Paige embraced who she was and tried to help other witches. Lucas is also a great character
