    Hi Guys

    Welcome to the Book Club Forum Matt!
  2. Sorry only just seen these posts. Yeah I know that technically torrents are safe, but I'm paranoid about dowloading things from unknown sources, and I think my firewall and security settings wouldn't allow me to do so without either changing them or temporarily disabling them which I don't want to have to do. Oh and plus there's the fact that I have no idea how to use torrents in the first place. Nope sorry Michelle no Tardis. But I have a friend in the US and he uploads the episodes on to either a file host or usually on to a personal server and I just download from there (and yes I know it's still illegal but needs must). I find that a lot quicker too (I got this weeks episode of Lost in about 10 minutes) and it's the same way that I've gotten Season 2 of Heroes.

    Hello

    Welcome to the board Raine.
  5. Welcome to the board.
  6. I actually found the ending of My Sister's Keeper a little bit...well, a bit of a cop out. It seemed to me like the author took the easy way out in a way.
  7. I've read a few of his books and have a couple more on my to read pile. Out of the ones I have read I think my favourite has to be The Guardian...so sad at the end.
  8. Thanks for the info. Will definitely enter.
  9. Ooooh no I don't do torrents. Too risky.
  10. Just finished watching the first episode of the new season...great episode!
  11. Nope, not yet.
  12. I have to admit I like a fairly decent blurb (length wise) as I like to get a general feeling as to what the book is about and if I'm going to like it. One thing that really annoys me is a misleading blurb. I can't think of any off the top of my head just but I've read books in the past to find that the blurb on the back was very misleading.
  13. Hi Claire. Welcome to the board.
  14. Welcome to the board Helen.
  15. I have books on shelves, in piles in the corners of my bedroom and on my desk. Basically anywhere there is room!

  19. I don't think I've ever been scared by a book or at least I can't remember ever having been scared by something that I've read. I would love to read a book that had the power to scare me though.
  20. Yep, I've joinied it.

    Hi!

    Hello and welcome to the board. I'm in the process of doing a complete reread. Just finished book 5.
  22. Seeing as the producers and writers have planned the show out for 3 more seasons of 16 episodes, I can't see how they can just miss out 8 episodes so I think those episodes will be made it's just a matter of when. I don't think there has been any official announcement yet so I guess there is still hope at the moment, but from what I've heard the strike may go on for a while yet.
  23. Yep it is a new series - Season 4 - although because of the writers strike over there just now there's only 8 episodes instead of 16.
  24. I tend to stick to the same kind of genres and authors too, so I'm going to try and widen my reading habits this year. I've had a fair few suggestions and recommendations over on my reading blog so I'm going to try and use them as a basis to start with.
  25. Welcome to the board Magdalen and a Happy New Year to you.
