Crikey I have fallen way behind on my updating. Will have to get on it straight away or it will bug me no end. I have read 100+ pages of Flowers In The Attic this year but gave up on it for some reason. Hopefully I can finish it sometime soon. My friend gave me ATSS as a end-of-uni present because she loved it, will have to try and get it on my TBR in 2010 list!!
