  1. I liked Bex at the beginning - I wonder if she is being affected by being in the house? - she seems to have radically changed into a monster. I think Rex has touched a raw nerve alluding to her weight and all the beautiful young men adore Jen - it must affect her self esteem
  2. oh wow Heather I need my sunglasses!! Have a lovely day!!

  3. Looks like you can now customize your front page
  4. I think it's the rain that is going to interrupt

  5. Happy Birthday Tiger - only the hottest day so far!!

  6. Happy Birthday Mia!!

  7. Magnificent - I was shouting v loudly!!

  8. Me neither - have gone off Becky a bit now too
  9. I saw some of Neil Diamond this afternoon - it was quality! The crowds look really daunting though - if you are stuck at the front - how do you get out for a pee!! Also saw Will Young for one song
  10. I have never done it before either and have no idea whether the previous review I did will make it into the magazine. When I submitted they said thank you and that was all! - I got another book so it must have been ok-ish.
  11. I have been sent another book to review for New Books Magazine. Looks interesting - it's called At a Loss For Words by Diane Schoemperlen - she is Canadian and this looks like her second novel. She won the Marian Engel award for Women Writers in 2007
  12. Perhaps it's an age thing Louise!! Her earlier stuff is better Jemima J sticks out in my mind. Take it on your holiday Nook - One for the beach
  13. Finished Jane Green - Second Chance - sadly disappointing - or maybe I am finally growing out of chick lit . Review to follow
  14. GCE - Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen - a bit dull for a fifteen year olds Henry IV Part 1 - desperately dull and irrelevant at the time. Tennyson poems - I really liked the Lady of Shallot. I was cross with my English teacher at the time because she could have chosen a different selection. My sister 2 years earlier studied 'Brighton Rock' by Grahame Green - how good was that? She also studied modern poets and a much better Shakespeare play.
  15. Hey Karol how was your holiday? Seems ages since you posted!!

  16. Me too in my early 20's - As a teenager I read Georgette Heyer - I wouldn't choose either author now.
  17. There have been a lot of good matches this week including Murray

  18. It's a great read - I didn't notice the mistakes!! - There is a review in the Guardian today comparing the author's style to Philip Pullman
  19. yeah I'm good just had my hair cut which always makes me feel loads better plus a good gossip with my hairdresser

  20. Hiya just dropping in to say hello and hope you are having a good day

  21. I absolutely agree - his plastic woman did not step up to the mark though
  22. Hi have a great day!!

  23. I am assuming several of them had drunk alcohol? Jennifer is definitely Queen Bee.
  24. Hi and welcome - what a great opportunity to be able to go back and study English
