Aw hen, I will get you a Jacob bookmark Merry Xmas! x

I love it! its so cute CaliLily:D

Here is my wee collection and I am ashamed to admit that I would be parted with them

I wasn't dissing the Jacob merch, I am just jealous because they have no Edward ones left and if it looks as good as Jacob one does, well, heck yeah!

That might put people off their drinks My sister's Jacob bookmark arrived today, its MASSIVE (well for a bookmark), the Edward ones are sold out 'I call this look ~ Blue Steel'

Its Little My on the cover Stephanie, she is a bit scary I did not realise how many Moomin books there was until I checked on amazon ~ Click here Click here

My neighbour, he is the worst kind of person and I don't say that lightly because I am a live and let live kind of lassie but he really grinds my gears!

Thanks peacefield

Thanks Kate

Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson ~ Started: 08.12.09 ~ Finished: 09.12.09 Synopsis ~ 'This is snow,' Moomintroll whispered to himself. Moomins always sleep through the winter - or they did until the year Moomintroll woke up and went exploring in the silent, snow-covered valley where the river used to scuttle along and all his friends were so busy in summer. I watched ‘The Moomins’ after school back in the day, when I watched it, it was live action models (if that is the correct wording) but recently I saw the cartoon and it was not the same. ‘Moominland Midwinter’ is the first Moomin book I have read, following from years of recommendations from my good friend Elizabeth (who is also known as ‘Moominliz’ ~ you can see a theme here), I decided to find out more about those little moomins. I enjoyed ‘Moominland Midwinter’, I liked how the main character, Moomintroll woke up from hibernation early and everything was different in his world that he knew, he saw the world that he missed why he and his family hibernated (from November to April). Tove Jansson world of Moomins is amazing, inspiring and full of imagination, I loved every part of the book, the characters, (especially Too~Ticky and Little My). I am planning to read more Moomin books.

Good stuff

The Lake House by James Patterson ~ Started: 06.12.09 ~ Finished: 08.12.09 Synopsis ~ Frannie O'Neill's life turned upside down when six incredible children blew in on the wind. Rescuing them from the school that created them took all her courage and cunning, but the children captured her heart. Now the young flock wants to go back to the couple it regards as parents, and Frannie and FBI maverick Kit Brennan are suing for custody. But when the case involves the most extraordinary creatures ever to land on this earth, someone will ensure there is no happy ending. Only Max, the oldest and most remarkable of the winged children, knows that another, terrifying biological experiment is taking place. Somewhere in America, a brilliant but evil surgeon, Dr Ethan Kane, is secretly researching - performing a cruel travesty of an operation as he scoops the life from people hoping for a better future. But to complete his experiment he needs the ultimate prize - Max herself. And as the children dream of returning to the happy safety of the lake house, where for a few precious months they flew free, Kane moves ever closer... ‘The Lake House’ is the sequel to ‘When the Wind Blows’ by James Patterson. ‘The Lake House’ begins six months after the events in ‘When the Wind Blows’, the children’s lives have changed and they have been reunited with their families but the flock miss Kit and Frannie, the couple they consider to be their parents. Again, the powers that be are after the flock for their own gain, it seems they have escaped from one terrible place to return to another one, with only Kit and Frannie to help them, what will become of the flock? ‘The Lake House’ was more exciting that ‘When the Wind Blows’, the flock could not trust anyone apart from Kit and Frannie, as the story progressed you find out who is after the flock and why. The only negative I found in the book was Max’s refusal to tell Kit and Frannie the whole story, Max has trust issues for obvious reasons but I just felt that she should trust Kit and Frannie, apart from that, the book was a great read.

Thanks

Great review Catwoman I have Mr Darcy, Vampyre on my TBR pile

You are welcome, if you get the chance, the graphic novels of his books are great to read too

Hi Rawr, 'The Great and Secret Show' I think is one of Clive Barker's best, next to 'Weaveworld', brilliant story, great characters (one of my favourite characters, Harry D'Amour apears in the book briefly) but he is the main character in the sequel to 'The Great and Secret Show', 'Everville' The Great & Secret Show ~ Click here Everville ~ Click here Galilee ~ Click here
