Has anyone seen this: http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/stephenie+meyer/the+short+second+life+of+bree+tanner3a+an+eclipse+novella/7664690/ Could be quite good.

Haha consider yourself persuaded! Oh, and I just ordered my copy

I finished Three Men in a Boat this evening and loved it. It had me chuckling all the way through

So is that three of us up for reading it? Anyone else?

You really should read them Kylie. I can't wait to get onto the poems I have just finished Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. This is a great book. It had me chuckling all the way through. These men are not sailors, and their adventures and views on life, people and places were very humorous. It was an enjoyable and easy read.

If people haven't read it we could all read The Crimson Petal and White because Emily reads it as part of her book group?

I've only got a few more chapters of Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Hopefully it will be finished tonight.

I have finished the third page of Johnny:

This is mine for April (or until I decide its time for a change!): http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/uploader/wallpapers/april10/april-10-easter-bunny-calendar-1280x1024.jpg

I'm also tempted with The Wizard of Oz - might read both this month. Have you picked a book Frankie?

Winnie the Pooh is the first one, The House at Pooh Corner comes second. You should definitely read it - wonderful books. Won't take you long either

In bed I finished The Complete Winnie the Pooh Collection by A. A. Milne. What lovely stories. Got the poems to come next Think I'm going to read a review book next: When Rooks Speak of Love by Hilary Dixon

In bed last night I finished The Complete Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne. It contained both Winnie the Pooh books and I loved it. The book itself was beautiful and full of the traditional illustrations and the stories are great. They are suitable for both children and adults. They are full of humour and adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it

That's a lovely card Kell

I agree, but to be honest I wasn't the biggest fan of old covers. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will look like. But I hope they don't do what Wuthering Heights did and copy the style of the Twilight covers purely because that might appeal to youths

I finished The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. Enjoyable book. Not sure what I'll read next.

I finished The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent this evening. I thought it was a bit slow to start with but from the halfway point it picked up and was a great read. Good storyline, full of detail and strong characters. Very enjoyable

Has anyone seen this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/mar/30/bloomsbury-books-harry-potter?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter I hadn't realised there had been quite such a big slump since the series finished and I'm intrigued to know what the new covers will look like and if it will work

I'm still reading The Heretic's Daughter. Over halfway through now and starting to enjoy it more

I've been reading The Heretic's Daughter today, am about 70 pages in. Not sure what I think of it yet.

Just a quick Johnny update:

My husband bought me a wonderful Roald Dahl book set and I've read: Esio Trot The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me The Magic Finger This is the set:

Exciting news.... I'm going to Wembley for the FA Cup Semi-final! Eeek! I went last time too, it was amazing (I also went to the Final, good times!). My parents are Pompey season-ticket holders - I used to be too but then had to work on Saturdays - but season ticket holders can have 2 tickets each so my parents are taking me and my hubby!

Waterstones Synopsis: From the famous episodes of the whitewashed fence and the ordeal in the cave to the trial of Injun Joe, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is redolent of life in the Mississippi River towns in which Twain spent his own youth. A sombre undercurrent flows through the high humour and unabashed nostalgia of the novel, however, for beneath the innocence of childhood lie the inequities of adult reality - base emotions and superstitions, murder and revenge, starvation and slavery. This is my first Mark Twain novel, which I read because it is on The List of Banned Books. I am really pleased I picked this book to read - it was full of life, adventure and mischief. Tom Sawyer is a boy out there looking for fun. He runs off to play pirates for a few days and conning other boys into doing jobs his Aunt has assigned him. Twain was a wonderful writer and took me into this world of boy's play and games. This book is not just about games Tom plays however. On his adventures he discovers a crime with Huckleberry Finn. This twist and the suspense surrounding the event added depth and flavour to his novel. I liked how it played out, the way it fitted into adventures that make this book special. I enjoyed reading all the characters, and I loved Tom and his cheekiness. He made for an exciting read, and it was fascinating following his activities. I loved his Aunt and the way she wanted the best for him. And I liked Huck Finn too. He was fun but poor - a risk to be with but great fun. This novel is full of life. It has mystery and adventure. It is fun to read and I felt like I was there and just wanted to know what was going to happen. There was a range of characters and some great mischief occurring. I will definitely be reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn very soon. 4.5/5

:mrgreen::motz:Boo hiss! I hate Chelsea!! I do not want them to win the league. ( I hated them before they thrashed us 5-0, now I dislike them even more!) And now we've been told we can sell players outside of the transfer window
