Other half!!!! I never know what to call him as i hate fiance

Wikipedia is good for looking at the background of the aauthor and the book and it gives you spolier warnings if you do not want to spoil the book

Narrow Dog - really funny book especially those parts about the Whippet - He is just like my lurcher

Any body got this book? My mum got me it for Christmas and got the OH 1001 albums you must hear before you die (he was so engrossed i did not hear a peep out of him for days) I really like this book as it gives some infor about the book the author, when it came out, whether it is a film but not too much info to spoil the book. It does not contain childrens books so i hope they do a childrens books version

The new Harry Potter books is 608 pages according to amazon. Diana Gabbaldon outlander series i am sure all books are over 500 pages. Jean Auel Earth children series - Again i am such all books are over 500 pages. If youlike Historical books - Elizabeth George books Helen of Troy The Autobiography of Henry VIII The memoirs of Cleopatra I, Elizabeth - Rosalind Miles Magician - Raymond E. Feist

I got my version from ebay and i love it as it has stills from the film in it and Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable are gorgeous. The book is really battered but you can tell how much it has been read and loved

Thats what annoys me about oxfam they are very pricey compared to some charity shops and they tend to charge alot regardless of condition. My dad lives in Otley and they are some fab shops there

I bought these second hand but as new and i have been daunted about starting them so come on tell shall i dive in? What are they like without spoiling it!?

Here are some of the classic books i have on my TBR pile although some might not be read unitl we move as they are in storage. April Northanger Abbey- Jane Austen - 1818 - 10 The Mysteries of Udolpho - Ann Radcliffe TBR Turn of the screw - Henry James Emma - Jane Austen Mansfield Park - Jane Austen Sense and sensibility -Jane Austen Woman in white - Wilkie Collins Moonstone - Wilkie Collins Bleak House - Chales Dickins A tale of 2 cities - Charles Dickens Great Expectations - Charles Dickens Vanity Fair - WM Thackeray Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte Kim - Rudyard Kipling The great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy Frankenstein - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly The strange case of Jekyll and Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson In a glass Darkly - Sheridan Le Fanu Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert Audio Books Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde The wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Irving Washington A tale of two Cities - Charles Dickens Villette - Charlotte Bronte

I get my dogs stuffed toys as he is very a surgeon and unpicks the seams and unstuffs them!!! With surgical precision. Its rare i do not find any books i do not want in charity shops

I have this book!! I thought i might have it but most of my books are in storage but i found it - i am looking forawrd to reading it too

I have loads of book marks but cannot find them when i need them so tend to use bits of paper or post its with words on to look up or books to read, they are good if you are travelling as they are sticky as you cannot lose your page!! I have a nice one of mill cats from the Hockney gallery. I used to be alot more precious about my books until my step mum died then i thought life is too short, i was being careful with a book when i was in hospital with my stepmum, i had a book nearly read like new in a dust bag in my bag and i thought sod it!!! Life is too short to get upset over a book. However i still will not lend my SIL any books as she destroys them and i cannot bend back corners or put them face down

I love Historical fiction but i have to join a library to read more as my books shelves are fit to bursting!!!

I have just re read Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix which i have really enjoyed alot more the second time around. Although looking forward to reading a more portable

Just finished Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix really enjoyed the re read but i am glad it has finished it is so heavy

Where do people get their audio books from? I used to love them but i have not used them for years!!!! Are people members of websites or do they download the naughhty way!!!

There is probably alot more than this but i have just thought of: 1. Middlemarch by George Elliot - Did it for Alevel hated it - awful and dull 2. Holy Fools by Joanne Harris - i tried Gentlemen and Players too so i can safely not try anything or hers again as it not for me. 3. Anything by Patricia Scanlan - Very dull and predictable chick lit author 4. The virgin blue - Tracy Chevalier - very dissappointing 5. Labyrinth - Kate Mosse - A really good idea but poor story telling!!!

Well i read the first few pages of Narrow dog and giggled alot, my dad came around picked up the books started reading and laughing, I managed to get it back off him though!!! What made me laugh is Diggery my lurcher was doing the same with a packet of crisps as Jim was with a packet of pork scratchings and my lurcher is very greyhoundy and fits in with how he describes Jim the Whippet Looks promising.........

I do not know if i am brave enough to read this i was a horsey girl and read all the horsey books and remember being a bit traumatised by this, so i am not sure!!! If i see it cheap then i might be tempted Although i remember my mum made me watch Old Yeller and i have never forgiven her for that either

I loved Out but i am supposed to be on a book diet!!! I have so many books to read but i do like having a choice. Although i am moving to Brighouse with a really good library also tesco and just books and what girl can resist a bargain

I tend to get alot of books from charity shops unless there is something i want now and then i will get it from Amazon or maybe Waterstones if it is cheaper on 3 for 2 or no different in price. My latest bargains are: The Handmaids tale - Margaret Atwood Holes - Louis Sachar One flew over the cuckoos next - Ken Kesey Narrow dog to Carcassone - Terry Darlington - Which has been recommended to me as any whippet or sight hound owner will love this book. I love charity shop finds as i am not too precious about them as i tke my books everywhere with me

'Anti-Muggle Pranksters,' Said Mr Weasley, frowning, 'We had two last week, one in Wimbledon, one in the elephant and castle. Muggles are pulling the flush and instaed of everything disappearing - well you can imagine. The poor things keep calling in those -pumbles, I think they're called - you know, the ones who mend pipes and things.' Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix I know it is longer than the 3 lines but i wanted to get in all on as it is quite funny as Mr Weasley is talking about regurgitating public toilets!!

I am re reading this series of books and i am enjoying them all the more this time around. I love watching the films after i have read them and seeing the changes or what parts they are missing. Also i am really enjoying the Order of the Phoenix more than i did the first time but i think that might have been because eithjer i read it very quickly the first time or i was ill when i read it. It is interesting reading these books knwoing what happens and picking up the clues as you read them.

I have noticed that i have alot of chunky books waiting to be read to here is my list. April Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix - 766pgs - Fini 10 Harry Potter and the half blood prince - 607pgs - 10 May Every which way but dead - Kim Harrison - 501pgs - 9 A fistful of Charms - Kim Harrsion - 510pgs - 8 Sushi for beginners - Marian Keyes - 564pgs - 10 June The Boleyn Inheritance - Sussannah Gregory - 527 pgs July Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows - 608 pages according to Amazon August Industrial Magic - Kelley Armstrong- 528 pgs - 7 September Haunted - Kelley Armstrong - 495 pgs - 8 October November December

I have been full of cold and now have really bad wisdom tooth pain so i am reading Harry Potter as i is nice and gentle on my painkiller befuddled brain
