  1. He's just so mean! Would it kill him to be so nice once in a while??!! Although, in the films Snape is one of my favourite characters, but that's all down to Alan Rickman and his superb acting .
  2. The whole scene gets me bad. It's so sad.
  3. I think I have problems, I didn't cry at any deaths in any of the books (I'm currently re-reading them so there's still time yet ). I did cry in DH when
  4. There was a time when I didn't have any bookmarks (and had to resort to folding the corner my copy of Harry Potter and the CoS is proof of this as I found yesterday). Last count I had over 20, all thanks to Paperchase and their pretty bookmarks .
  5. My mum bought Creme Egg ice cream the other day. Very yummy.
  6. I was reading it everywhere. Luckily I went on a few car journeys that day so I'd be there with my feet up reading as many pages as possible. I was in competition with my mum too to see who could read it fastest. I won .
  7. Luckily my ex was nice enough to que up for me at midnight so I could stay at home in bed . It was my birthday that day though and the book was my present. However, birthday celebrations meant I couldn't spend all day reading it . If I would have had my way I would have been reading it in the pub .
  8. I see what you mean Lucy. There were bits I just thought "wtf", there were some bits I thought could have been written better and the story was a bit slow compared to the other books. Can't wait to re-read the Deathly Hallows, I read it so fast the first time .
  9. Me too. I had no idea what to read next and they just jumped out at me, they're very eye catching on my bookcase;). I've never actually read the series in order one after the other, I just read them randomly or random bits I like. I read Half Blood Prince last year too, but that's one of my favourite ones so it's all good .
  10. 22. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - J.K Rowling Synopsis from Waterstones: When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know.

Escaping his hideous Muggle guardians for Hogwarts, a wizarding school brimming with ghosts and enchantments, Harry stumbles upon a sinister adventure when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers which could be valuable, dangerous, or both. Started: 10th April Finished: 15th April 223 pages Rating: 8.5/10
  11. Happy Birthday. Hope you have a fab day.

  12. I buy them if that's all they have or if they're on offer. I bought Marley and Me and Slumdog Millionaire at the supermarket and all they had was the movie covers. I have some other tie-in's, that's all they had as they had just come out in film, although I would prefer the original cover.
  13. Aww thank you for that lovely comment :friends0:. Oh Dancing Queen is one of my fave Abba songs, guaranteed to get me singing and dancing along :lol:. Hope you have a had a lovely day, it has been very nice here and I've been to a bbq which was nice.

  14. Me too. I think I read a couple of chapters then gave up..
  15. I don't mind reading in the car. I went on a longish car journey yesterday and took my book with the intention of reading some. However, with a 4 year old to entertain I only managed a couple of pages .
  16. My dad went to the chippy so I had chips and cheese and onion pie. With lots of tomato ketchup .
  17. Happy Birthday. Hope you have a fab day.

  18. I'm not really a fan of Emmerdale but I catch the odd episode. Belle is definately my favourite character. She was funny last night with the tv "Zac Efron's on after the adverts". She's so cute bless her. And Sam Dingle is such a sweetheart, bless him. I remember when his wife died, I cried my eyes out .
  19. 21. A Vintage Affair - Isabel Wolff Synopsis from Waterstones: Do fairytale dresses bring fairytale endings? Every dress has a history, so does Phoebe!

At the launch of Village Vintage, Phoebe feels the tingle of excitement as customers snap up the fairytale dresses. Her dream has come true, but a secret from her past is casting a shadow over her new venture. Then one day she meets Therese, an elderly Frenchwoman with a collection to sell, apart from one piece that she won't part with! As Therese tells the story of the little blue coat, Phoebe feels a profound connection with her own life, one that will help her heal the pain of her past and allow her to love again.

  20. Definately. I've never ever called it 'dinner' it's always been tea. Tonight I'm having quorn style bacon, scrambled egg and hash browns with brown sauce .
  21. 20. Who's That Girl? - Alexandra Potter Synopsis from Waterstones: If only you knew then what you know now!

  22. 19. Petite Anglaise - Catherine Sanderson Synopsis from Waterstones: Living in Paris with her partner, the workaholic Mr Frog, and their adorable toddler, Tadpole, Catherine decides to alleviate the boredom of her metro-boulot-dodo routine by starting a blog under the name of Petite Anglaise. As she lays herself bare about the confines of her stagnant relationship with Mr Frog, about Paris life and about the wonder and pain that comes with being a mother, she finds a new purpose to her day. As Petite Anglaise, Catherine regains her confidence and makes internet friends, including one charismatic and single Englishman who lives in Brittany, James. And after meeting James one evening in a bar, Catherine feels she has regained her ability to fall in love, too. Petite Anglaise weaves together many strands which have already struck a chord with the thousands of readers who love her blog: a 'fish out of water' perspective of Paris life, the raw emotional drama of a whirlwind, adulterous romance and an honest appreciation of the hardships of single motherhood.
