  1. 1. Two's Company - Jill Mansell 22nd December - 1st January 438 pages Synopsis from Waterstones: Jack and Cass Mandeville are a dream couple, ridiculously happy together and successful to boot - Jack as a journalist and Cass with her own hugely popular radio show. Indeed, almost every member of the Mandeville family is famous in their own right: from stunning Cleo, a supermodel with attitude, to Sean, the rising star of the comedy circuit. Incredibly good-looking and likeable, the family have captured the hearts of the nation - and the nation's press. But on the day that Jack hits the big 40 - the same day that a redhead called Imogen turns up to interview Jack and Cass for Hi! magazine - their proverbial bubble is about to burst... 2. Ghost World - Daniel Clowes 2nd January - 3rd January 82 pages Synopsis from Waterstones: A graphic novel, which tells of the adventures of Enid Coleslaw and Beck Doppelmeyer, two bored, supremely ironic teenage girls. They pass the time complaining about the guys they know and fantasising about strange men they see in the local diner.

  11. Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang. I say watched, I mean I watched as much as I could when being distracted by two giddy kids.
  12. Took An Education - Lynn Barber back to the library at work (me and my friend found it in the Customer Centre on our Friday lunch break ) as I read it over the weekend. Started Her Fearful Symmetry - Audrey Niffenegger on the tram. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm only about 60+ pages in so that could change.
