Yay! thanks Raven Here goes ~ You know the part in scary movies when somebody does something really stupid, and everybody hates them for it? This is it.

I think it might be 'Local Hero'

Current song ~ 'Fight for this Love' by Cheryl Cole, if I hear one more time, 'we got to fight fight fight...' I will scream, we get it Cheryl, you are fighting for love! In the past ~ 'Fire' by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, a classic tune but his voice goes through me 'Shiny Happy People' by REM, I know its a cheery wee tune but it does not make me feel shiny or in fact happy I am sure there is more...

You are very welcome my bookmark for awhile has been postcard of 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman.

Finn Family Moomintroll by Tove Jansson ~ Started: 17.12.09 ~ Finished: 18.12.09 Synopsis ~ Although they're small, fat and shy creatures, Moomins have the most amazing adventures. It all begins when Moominpappa tries on a magic hat that makes exciting and funny things happen. Who knew I would get so much reading pleasure from characters I watched on television back in the day when I was a kid. ‘Finn Family Moonintroll’ was a lovely read, all of the characters are loveable in their way, and I love the fact that the Moominpappa, Moominmamma, Moomintroll accept anyone into their home, their adventures, my favourite character is Moominmama, she is brilliant and loveable. Tove Jansson has created a wonderful world with the Moomins and I am happy I am discovering them, perfect books for a winter evening or a summer afternoon.

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks ~ Started: 16.12.09 ~ Finished: 17.12.09 Synopsis ~ A story in an old notebook is read to an elderly woman by a sad stranger. It is the story of Noah and Allie, who fell in love but were kept apart for many years. As the stranger reads, it becomes clear that he is engaged in a desperate struggle to reach the woman who no longer remembers her past. This is the first book I have read by Nicholas Sparks and I enjoyed it. The story was memorable and sad, an emotional book.

I still hate the Iceland adverts, I want to throw a cheesecake at Colette Nolan!!!!!

I Am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas by Adam Roberts ~ Started: 14.12.09 ~ Finished: 16.12.09 Synopsis ~ Marley was dead. Again. The legendary Ebenezeer Scrooge sits in his house counting money. The boards that he has nailed up over the doors and the windows shudder and shake under the blows from the endless zombie hordes that crowd the streets hungering for his flesh and his miserly braaaaiiiiiinns! Just how did the happiest day of the year slip into a welter of blood, innards and shambling, ravenous undead on the snowy streets of old London town? Will the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future be able to stop the world from drowning under a top-hatted and crinolined zombie horde? Was Tiny Tim's illness something infinitely more sinister than mere rickets and consumption? Can Scrooge be persuaded to go back to his evil ways, travel back to Christmas past and destroy the brain stem of the tiny, irritatingly cheery Patient Zero? It's the Dickensian Zombie Apocalypse - God Bless us, one and all! Tis the season for zombies! And this time its Ebenezeer Scrooge’s turn to face them down, which begins on Christmas day morning with the zombie Marley bursting through Scrooge’s door, which leads Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas of yet to come to a fight to stop the zombies from taking over the world while at the same time Ebenezeer discovers what Christmas means to him. If you enjoy the film, ‘Shaun of the Dead’ you will love this book, it has the same humour and excellent one liners, the change of Ebenezzer’s personality is well written and humorous. A fun read with zombies.

Touching from a Distance by Deborah Curtis ~ Started: 12.12.09 ~ Finished: 14.12.09 Synopsis ~ This is the only in-depth biographical account of the legendary lead singer of Joy Division, written by his widow. Revered by his peers and idolised by his fans, Ian Curtis left behind a legacy rich in artistic genius. But although mesmerising on stage, in his private life he was introverted and had desperate mood swings. In "Touching from a Distance" his widow pieces together why - despite his impending international fame and young family - Curtis took his own life on 18 May 1980. Regarded as the essential book on the essential icon of the post-punk era, "Touching from a Distance" includes a full set of Curtis' lyrics, discography and gig list. Reading a biography of Ian Curtis may seem a strange choice considering I was never a fan of Joy Division, it was a couple of years before I fully appreciated the Manchester music scene and since then I have been a fan of ‘The Stone Roses’. I read ‘Touching from a distance’ to find out more about Ian Curtis, an icon for different reasons, mainly his untimely death by suicide at the age of 23, for me the main tragedy was not only the loss of someone so young but the people he left behind. ‘Touching from a distance’ is written by Deborah Curtis, Ian Curtis’s wife and she gives a full and honest account of the man she loved and the man that he was, she tells it like it was, his possessiveness, his goals in life, how focused he was (at times focusing on the wrong things), his love of music, his creativeness and how much she loved him and how deeply affected she was by his death. A powerful and honest read, a must read for any Joy Division fans out there.
