Having trouble uploading my photos. I started a new album, uploaded 3 photos, then I tried to upload the next 3 I got this message. "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing. If this occurred unexpectedly, contact the Administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error". I have never had any problems before with uploading photos.

Still reading Five Quarters of an Orange. Very good, I am enjoying it immensely. First Joanne Harris I have read.

I think I am more inclined to visualise the people in the story rather than the background they are in, unless there is a very vivid description of their situation, then I will try and visualise the whole scene.

They dont make 'em like that any more do they? I love everyone of those and could watch them over and over. I would add "West Side Story" though.

Helpless by Barbar Goudy I have finished and have now moved on to Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris. Not sure if I am going to do a review of Helpless, I will think about it.

Hi I loved it as you will see from my review. Can I hang on to it for a bit longer because my OH would like to read it. If you want it back that's ok, he will just get it from the Library.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I have tried, I really have, but I cant get past the deep south accent. OH has read it and loved it and keeps on at me to read it, but no thanks. -
The Book Of Lost Things by John Connolly
supergran71 replied to Weave's topic in Horror / Fantasy / SF
The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly Blurb High in his attic bedroom, twelve-year-old David mourns the loss of his mother. He is angry and he is alone, with only the books on his shelf for company. But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness and as he takes refuge in the myths and fairytales so beloved of his dead mother he finds that the real world and the fantasy world have begun to meld. The Crooked Man has come, with his mocking smile and his enigmatic words: -
Dont know yet, probably spag bol. I am getting fed up with trying to think of something different every day

That brings back memories of us all seeing "The Sound of Music" film and me starting to sing to all the tunes to your embarrassment Glad you enjoyed it and that it was a good production.

That sounds like a really good read. I too love series, especially family series.

I have finished The Book of Lost Things. I was totally captivated by it and its magic has stayed with me, I keep thinking about it. Its a very well written book which carries you along easily into a 12 year old boy's "rite of passage" through his fantasy world which is very believable. I was impressed at an adult author being able to capture how a child standing on the threshold of adulthood sees the world he has created in his mind following the death of his mother. Its an adventure story in which David, the 12 year old, faces death and destruction at every turn of the page and it is intriguing how his encounters represent the fairy tales we all know. they were easily identifiable (if you have read them of course). the author's notes at the end were interesting and enlightening and an absolute must to read. I loved this book and will look out for other books by John Connolly. Highly recommended 10/10
