I legally downloaded 'The Pearl Fishers' duet from iTunes (my first go as I had a card voucher for my birthday) and I can't put it on my Zen as its in the wrong format?? Any ideas anyone?

I read and thoroughly enjoyed this about 2-3 years ago - I have the follow up waiting in my TBR list

Yes I read these 2 in my teens with great enjoyment.

It's too harrowing Nici . I can't read this sort of book.

Have tickets for July!!

My son of 14 has read it and often quotes from it - he thought it was ace!!

They have a website - you can do your own order and earn points towards free books although I suppose you don't pay postage if you order off someone's catalogue!

The 'Book People' have a Du Maurier offer this month - 10 for

Hello and welcome!!

Chose to read 'Notes on a Scandal' by Zoe Heller - very readable and I enjoyed it. I haven't see the film but I would like to now. As I was reading I could visualise Judi Dench as Barbara and she was perfect for that role in my head

Well I just have to get it now and put it on mount TBR!!

Ooh yes I often do a puzzle. I have an 8,000 piece one which took me 3 months!!

Oh dear now we know what happens!

I am and always will be a knitter - it's back in vogue with lots of new interesting things to knit with - I even have a pattern for a knitted bag made out of supermarket plastic bags which I intend to have a go at at some point!! I can't resist wool shops and there is a knitting exhibition at Ally Pally which I go to every year - I come away loaded with new projects!!

I have 'Small Island' waiting on TBR as well - suggested it to hubby recently who was looking for something to read - he said it was excellent.

I am a Kate Atkinson fan too - I have not read 'Emotionally Weird' although its on my TBR. I have read 'Case Histories', 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum', and 'One Good Turn' - and they are all excellent. In fact she is now one of my favourite authors. Behind the Scenes is a good place to start .

I have John Diamond's autobiography on my TBR list - husband of Nigella Lawson who died of oral cancer. I saw a moving documentary about him many years ago so when I saw the book I bought it.

I am still reading last year's or the year before!! I will look at them though as I have to say they do select a good read (if it really is them that does it)

I rarely read a biography unless I admire that person. I thoroughly enjoyed John McEnroe's biography. He has a very dry wit. I also picked up and read Roger Black's (a hero) as it was 10p from the library. I could see why they were selling it off - it was dull, but I learned how much training and injury he went through. Frank Skinner's was good and interesting, very conceited man though. The worst biography was Delia Smith - my cookery heroine - dull, dull and dull!!

SciFi, thrillers, horror, spy books, political books, fantasy, Danielle Steele rubbish, Geoffrey Archer books on principal, books with the kind of print or print layout I don't like. Not much left then?

Oops 'Notes on a Scandal' is my current book - liking it so far!! I would rarely stop reading a book I have started but then I am v fussy about what I read. Those I have stopped reading are given away - the 'Undomestic Godess' by Sophie Kinsella was the last one to be ditched

Hello Jean!!

I have bought 3 more of her books from Amazon but they are on my TBR at the moment - am looking forward to them

Librarything is back up and running!!
