It's more like a monkey than a dinosaur but like a dinosaur it's a creature.

I would say this isn't really an autobiography, more a series of observations on life including reflections on her own life. It's written as a dialogue between Miranda and her 18 year old self. It is quite good. I would think if you like Miranda then you'll probably enjoy it on the whole.

It's more like a monkey than anything so far.

It's more like a peanut than anything so far.

Yay!! OK what am I thinking of? PS If anyone else wants to play please do jump in

Is it a lollipop?

I can totally understand that. It did have a very slow start but about half way through the story just explodes. It was fantastic. It's well worth persevering with.

I'd like to read this too. Her 'The Little Friend' was one of the best books I read last year.

I kind of like Miranda the comedy show - but I do find it a bit cringey at times. Like I find myself watching it from behind my hands sometimes. I loved her as the cleaner in Not Going Out. I meant to watch Call the Midwife but somehow managed to miss it. I feel like it's too late to start now.

Is it a street-lamp?

I finished Miranda Hart's Is it Just Me? a couple of days ago. On the whole I enjoyed it although I did find it a bit patchy. Sometimes it would have me roaring with laughter, others mildly amused, and others still just irritated. I don't know if this was to do with variations in my mood, or that I could relate to some parts better than others, or that it simply contained some really funny material alongside a bit of filler. In any case, as I said, overall I liked it a lot. If you're a fan of Miranda Hart and her TV show you'll probably enjoy this.

Yes I believe there are a few more in the series Julie. It was very enjoyable. It's about some kids who have to try and rescue their father from an evil planet. In the book the universe is in a struggle between good and evil. Some planets are good, others, like ours, are shadowed and yet others are completely 'dark' which is where the children have to go to try and find their father. It's a story inspired by christian theology, (without being in your face religious) but I would say that I preferred the Narnia stories really.

Thanks Kidsmum and Noll Noll, did you read any of the others in the series? What were they like?

Is it a bird table?

Is it a television?

I finished A Wrinkle in Time last night. It was very enjoyable. It did start a little slow and seemed strange at first, but once the story got going it was good. Next I'd like to get to the end of part 1 of The Making of Modern Britain. After that I'm thinking I might read The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price.

Is it a box of tissues?

Hi welcome back Kasei!

The Stand is wonderful isn't it? Tom Cullen was my favourite character.

Is it London Zoo?

So glad you enjoyed Tess, Janet. I loved it. And it's good to know, finally, I'm not alone in this

Thanks both! Julie I know. I'd like to maybe get to The Book Thief this year.

Yes!! Well done Did you want to play again?

So glad you enjoyed The Beach. It's one of my all-time favourites. For all you people who have it but haven't read it yet - READ IT NOW!!
