I've heard that the new Marian Keyes one is a bit long-winded. How did you find it?
I loved this book i read it in a couple of days and laughed out loud at some parts of it too
-
I agree with this rule as i spend too much trying to get into books ao i either leave them or come back to them at a later date
-
Right i lost my reading mojo and foung my knitting mojo, lost my knitting mojo and found my redaing mojo.
Now i just have to find a happy medium of them both!!!
To be honest now if i struggle with book and am not enjoying i either stop reading it and leave it or come back to it later. So many books to enjoy so why carry on reading books i am not enjoying

I loved it and i cannot recommend it enough - in fact it made me laugh out loads of times!
Just read it - i do not want to say too much in case i reveal any part of the plot!!!

My absolute favorite book is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I fell in love with it when I was thirteen years old and have never found another novel that makes me feel the way the Heights make me feel. It is a very passionate and also very dark read.
I grew up about a 10 minutes drive from Haworth and the moors, once you have been there you get a real feel for the drama of the moors and the atmosphere

I bet both QI books turn up but they are worth having

QI: The Book of Animal Ignorance (Hardcover)
by Stephen Fry (Foreword), John Lloyd (Author), John Mitchinson (Author)
Book Description
A bestiary for the 21st century from the writers of the hit BBC show 'QI'.
Synopsis
Join the QI team for an off-road safari through a hundred of the most interesting members of the animal kingdom, armed with illuminating illustrations and diagrams by award-winning artist Ted Dewan. Meet the water bears that can live in suspension for hundreds of years, the parasite carried by your cat that makes men grumpy and women promiscuous, and the woodlouse that drinks through its bottom. Marvel at elephants that walk on tiptoe, pigs that shine in the dark, and woodpeckers that have ears on the end of their tongues. If you still think a pangolin is a musical instrument, that hyenas are dogs, or that sheep are pointless and stupid, "The Book of Animal Ignorance" has arrived just in time
(above from amazon)
This book is fantastic for those who loves facts and animals although i have had to stop reading it on the bus because it does cause lots of giggling, but i do know which mammal has the biggest willy and what happens to the poor male angler fish.
Brilliant really, really recommended

Haunted - Kelley Armstrong
Synopsis
Book 6 in Kelley Armstrong's supernatural series marks the return of werewolf Elena Michaels from Bitten and Stolen. When half-demon Xavier calls in the favour Elena owes him, it seems easy enough - steal Jack the Ripper's 'From Hell' letter away from a Toronto collector who had himself stolen it from the Ripper evidence boxes in the Metropolitan Police files. But nothing in the supernatural world is ever as simple as it seems. Elena accidentally triggers a spell placed on the letter, and manages to tear an opening that leads into the nether regions of Victorian London. Toronto may be looking for a tourism boost, but 'Gateway to Hell' isn't quite the new slogan the city had in mind ...
My least favourite of her books, however still enjoyable. I just found the Jack the Ripper thing a bit odd, i do not know if that is becuase I am British and did not like a Canadian author using this!! I did find the pregnancy part also a bit wierd and i really do not gt the Elena and Clay relationship and do not get me strted on the birth part!!!!

I loved it especially the parts narrated by death and how he handles peoples souls - i loved it

A graphic novel of Wuthering Heights? Sounds interesting!
I come from Bradford and i think it was something the Council funded to do with the Arts and the Brontes

Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman
Synopsis
Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of - a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre. There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining...And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city. This title includes extra material exclusive to Headline Review's edition.
