Title: If you could see me now Author: Cecelia Ahern Paperback: 336 pages Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd (21 Nov 2005) Amazon ISBN: 0007212259 The info... 'This book is from the number 1 bestselling author of "PS, I Love You" and "Where Rainbows End" comes a love story with heart - and just a little bit of magic! Everything in Elizabeth Egan's life has its place, from the espresso cups in her gleaming kitchen to the swatches and paint pots of her interior design business. Order and precision keep life under control - and Elizabeth's heart from the pain and hurt she has suffered in the past. The only cloud on the horizon is her sister Saoirse, a red-haired whirlwind always leaving behind pieces, which Elizabeth struggles to pick up - including her six-year-old son Luke. Being a reluctant mother while trying to keep her business on track is a full-time job, one which leaves little room for error - or fun. Until, one day, a stranger unexpectedly comes into their lives. Ivan is carefree, spontaneous and always looking for adventure - everything that Elizabeth is not. In no time at all, he has crept under her skin and started to change her life in ways she could never have . She knows barely anything about Ivan - who he is and whether he is everything he seems. And, if there is a future for their blossoming relationship! Full of Cecelia Ahern's trademark warmth and poignancy, "If You Could See Me Now" is a love story with heart - and just a little bit of magic!' Having read 'Ps I love you' and 'Where Rainbows End' by the same author, I have to said 'If you could see me now' is one of Cecelia Ahern's best. It has a great story with wonderful characters and a lot of heart. If you get a chance, read it.

I found it very similar Michelle, not the most original of concepts and quite unsettling..

With regards to Friends with 'The Shining' it was really funny, especially the fridge part, remember at the end he put 'Little Women' in the fridge as well. I getting through 'The Shining' slowly but surely, really enjoying it.

Cute kitten...

I actually have the book but I have still to read it. I did however, see the movie and I did not enjoy it, Christian Bale is usually really good in most movies, but he was very over the top in Captain Corelli's...

I haven't actually read any of Jodi's books so any pointers would be helpful. I have heard great things about her books and I have say 'Nineteen minutes' sounds great.

Great minds think alike Icecream

Sirius maybe?, it possible he could come back from the dead.

Thanks Kell:mrgreen:

I am just started to read 'Memoirs of a Geisha' and I think will read this one as well.

I haven't read the Chrestomanci series but I think I will be, I have really enjoyed reading DWJ so far...

Hi PP, aw thank you, I don't know what is going on at the moment with me,I really don't, I woke up this morning and my stomach was just blah, its better now, thanks for asking...

I think so too, its good to step away and dream a little, remind us of what it was like to be kid... You are more than welcome to borrow 'Howl's Moving Castle' and 'Castle in the air' from me Bagpuss. I am good thank, apart from now having stomach problems, I think I am just ran down to be honest...

Title: Castle in the air Author: Diana Wynne Jones ISBN: 0006755305 Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books About the book: "I never said my wishes were supposed to do anyone any good" said the genie. "In fact, I swore that they would always do as much as harm as possible." By day Abdullah is a humble carpet merchant,but in his dreams he is a prince. Then Abdullah deams suddenly start to come true when he meets the lovely Flower in the Night. When a hideous djinn carries Flower off into the sky. Abdullah is determined to rescue his love - if he can find her and if he can avoid all the ferocious villians who seem to be after him. But how can he possibly succees with only a bad tempered genie and an unreliable magic carpet to help him? The Review: 'Castle in the air' is the sequel to 'Howl's Moving Castle' which I have also read. It tells the story of orphaned carpet seller Abdullah who dreams of a better life away from what he knows, away from his Father's first wife and assorted relations who all seem to think they know what is best for Abdullah, then Abdullah buys a magic carpet from a desert deweller and his adventure begins. Even though 'Castle in the air' is a children's book I really enjoyed it, it was funny and original, and the added bonus of spending more time with Howl, Sophie and Calcifer. Read 'Howl's Moving Castle' and 'Castle in the air' if you get the chance, heck you can borrow mines.

Hi Bagpuss, how are you? You are not being rude, she writes for teenagers.

I finished 'Castle in the air' by Diana Wynne Jones, it was brilliant. I have just started reading 'Memoirs of a Geisha' by Arthur Gordon.

Hello.. I think this book sounds great, I have just ordered it from amazon, so I am looking forward to reading it.

I invested in some new books today, a new store opened where I lived and as a special offer were selling three books for

My predications are: 1, Ginny Weasley: Think about it Harry's lost interest, they broke up because he is going after Voldemort, that would really hurt Harry. 2. Hermione: I don't want to dare think it but it is a possibility, ooh I hope not.. 3. Aunt Petunia: A bit off the beaten track but I have always felt that she may be important to the story, she knows a lot more than she is giving away.

He did not fancy sleeping in it. It looked cold, and hard. But it was probably better than just lying down on the rock, he thought, as he ruefully watched the soldier swing easily up the cliff and arrive at the hole. Castle in The Air by Diana Wynne Jones:readingtwo:

Here goes..... 1. Sunshine Song by Lewis Grassic Gibbon: This was part of a Scots Quair, and 'Sunshine Song' was the only part we read at school and I absolutely hated it with a passion, three pages on how dirt feels,no thank you. I bought 'a Scots Quair' years later in the vain hope that I just did not get it when I was a teenager, but no, at the age of 25, I still did not appreciate dirt. 2. The Dark by James Herbert: I have enjoyed every James Book I have read accept for this one, the book was all wrong, there is horror and then there is horror which was this book. Do not read this book if you have a sensitive stomach. 3. Isobel's Wedding by Sheila O'Flanagan: I apologise profusely to Ms O'Flanagan but this book in a nutshell was awful!, I did not care about the characters, Isobel kind of annoyed me and the whole 'I have changed therefore I am a better person' part did nothing for me. 4. The Baby Trail by Sinead Moriarty: This story was great in theory when you read the back of the book and then you read the book. Maybe it was too close to home, etc but I found this book patronising and unrealistic. I actually threw this book across my bedroom. 5. I will get back to you.

Yes do tell, I am considering in buying it or asking for it for my birthday.

Kell, you are one fast reader.... I am very impressed...

Well I look forward to reading it Kell.. Ps For all of us Captain Jack Fans...

I enjoyed reading your review Bagpuss, this book sounds good and I would read it.
