I had a good laugh. Xcellent website wrath!.
I suppose, one can live on cat food and peanut butter as long as it's flushed down with plenty ofyour fridge's content( a good rinse of Margharita would do the trick).
But, oh my lord! That cookie dough made the cat food look appetising.
The dough looked like...hum....what's the word???... something discarded by dogs on a Parisian street pavement. if you follow my drift.
Thanks for a great laugh Wrath. We want another one!!!

Such a healing book for anyone who has lost a loved one.One of My favourite books. Loved it. Cried, thought, smiled and felt a whirlwind of emotions, it was like a rollercoaster ride! 10 out of 10. Don't be put off by slow start.

The Kite Runner was such a touching book. I cried on several occasions. I couldn't believe the degree of humn hatred and destruction glorified by religious beliefs and of course, power. A sad but powerful book which will change many readers mind on Afghans and their struggle to revive their land as independant and humane.

Alice Sebold is a real psychological genius when it comes to the dissection of the state of mind and relationships of a whole family and neighbourghood after the traumatic murder of a young teenager. The fact that she wrote it from the point of view of the dead girl was quite fresh and new at the time and it opened a new style of writing perspective. I found the book really good and I recommended it to all my friends.

I hated everything about this book. The style is too bare and soulless. The characters are cold and non emotional. The storyline is original enough, but what a waste of a good idea when the genius of storytelling is non existant. Kazuo's ideas would fit better on the screen i think. Better not give up the day job!

Read the Geishe a few years ago also. I liked it despite it being slow and obvious. Did you find the story to follow Sex and the City's Carrie 's destiny? I was disappointed with the end. Would love to see the film though for the photographic perspective of it

I just finished 'The Secret Life of Bees' this evening and I really enjoyed it.
I found it quite slow at the beginning but I liked that, it seem to show how Lily was feeling, she was feeling down, not getting anywhere fast.
The story was excellent, a real sense of feeling amongst the characters, a very enjoyable story x
Read the Secret Life twice. I loved it so much that I read Sue Monk Kidd's next novel, the Mermaid Chair. Totally different but really soulsearching. Loved it too but I have to admit it was much different.
Holiday Reading...

wentto Wales and experienced the wettest weather ever.
Stuck in a caravan with 2 hyper active kids and their moaning dad. So I found solace from the disastrous welsh holiday in 3 excellent books: In the woods by Tana French, And Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult. " excellent thrillers. Also, on a lighter note, PS I love You by Cecelia Ahern which I found in my TBR pile. So, that's one down.
Looking for something light to read at the moment, as I lay paralysed in bed with a desperate sciatica.
Any suggestions?
Pleeeeeeaaaaazzzzz. I need something good and fun to cheer me up.
