Yes there is, Sally the sister has a section. Thanks - I may well do that.

Beginning to struggle with Eleven Terrible Months now. I am on Chris's story and I have two problems: 1) I'm not getting on with the style of Chris's voice - it's a bit rambling and while all the little asides do reveal his character, it's at the expense of the story telling. This section could do with a bit of editing IMO. The bit where he starts to explain how to use commas because he's just found out himself annoyed me a lot. Just what was the point of it? 2) I've already read and know the story, because part one, Sue's account takes you up to the end of the time-line. Chris's story is just a different viewpoint, with a few differences in some of the events. I find myself wondering why I need to go on reading. We shall see ...

The Chronicles of Narnia Watership Down

I thought it was OK, a bit mediocre. I was expecting great things because of the cast, but I think I got my hopes up too much.

Hi and welcome. Nice to meet you

Hi and welcome. Nice to meet you

Oh so glad you are enjoying Jane Eyre. I loved that book. Hope a whole new world is opening up for you Nici

Finished Five Little Pigs last night. It was a good ending. I thought I'd guessed but I was wrong. The book was a little slow, but overall enjoyable. Would def like to read more Agatha Christie. Now back to Eleven Terrible Months which was put on hold because it was too bulky to go in my hand luggage last weekend

Hi and welcome

Sounds great - adding to wish list

I caught up last night, watching episodes 2 and 3 back to back. Arggh how aggravating. I also thought it got very far-fetched with each character becoming more and more unpleasant so that they just became less beleivable for me. That's exactly what I shouted at the telly when the credits rolled up! They should have at least showed her doing it in the same way they showed the others hypothetically doing it. Very disappointing. Does that need a spoiler supergran?

Thanks

That's fantastic! Where is that Beef?

Hi and welcome

Thanks Sam It's annoying though because I have ideas for books in about 4 different genres. I think I'll have to reign myself in somewhere.

Quite eclectic I think. I have a lot of classics, ranging from Jane Austen to Bram Stoker, some Stephen King and Dean Koontz as well as a bit of chick lit (not much though) and some (mostly unread) crime, fantasy and sci fi and some mainstream fiction. Also lots of non-fiction, science, theological, travel, politics and biography and lots of books on writing and English. I have a little bit of lots of different genres without any one really dominating the shelves. Perhaps my largest genre is the classics - but even in there there's a bit of Poe, a bit of Shakespeare, all different stuff. No romance in sight though.

Welcome Magicstar

Welcome Sisse. Your English is great!

Hi Anne, welcome. You're English seems fine to me. (A lot better than my German )

Hi and welcome. Hope you're having fun on your working holiday.

If anybody wants a free copy I've offered it up as a book chain book here

About A Boy is his best novel IMO (of the four I've read, I'm not sure how many he's written) there are a few differences to the film though. His other two I thought were quite weak (A Long Way Down and How to be Good)
