    HI Mac - thanks for your comment! I'm really enjoying the book, which is completely different to anything I have ever read. I must admit I was a bit hesitant at first, but the writing really draws you into the story. I'll look forward to reading the sequel...

    finished Someone Else's Son (early) this morning - great read which keeps you guessing. Now I've started The Shadow of the Wind

    I too like to read to the end of a chapter or section... otherwise I just seem to lose my "bearings"

    It's the same for me... I read 2 of his books, but really can't stand this author

    hoping to finish How to be good(Nick Hornby) today - not too sure what to make of this novel, as it started so well but now seems to have gone a bit flat looking forward to starting San Hayes' Someone Else's Son, especially seeing all the lovely reviews on the site!

    a 14-year old, white, Peugeot 106 - my very first car bought with my very own money a 3-year old, silver, Honda Jazz - much more comfortable to drive!! In Malta, unfortunately, the bus system is so unreliable, that I would be completely lost without my trusty "steeds"

    I've bought a couple of Raold Dahl and Jeremy Strong for my son and a pony book for my daughter. I'll also be buying some books for myself as a Christmas treat

    Hi Chrissy - thanks for the comment. Actually yes - I do buy from The Book Depository, they have an excellent delivery service, though their prices sometimes are a bit steeper...

    Bargain Books!

    you're all so lucky to have such great prices on books! In Malta book prices are really expensive (starting at Eur10 or thereabouts) in most bookshops - thanks God for Play and Amazon!

    wow Poppy! great review... I never quite know how to review Jasper (though I love his books) but you've really done a great job!

    I think I own about 300 books - and the number keeps growing I find it so hard to part with them! I also regularly "adopt" piles from Maureen who needs to make space for her new purchases. At this rate, I sincerely doubt the number will stop growing!

    I'm so impressed by what you all wote that I HAD to buy one of her books another one for the ever-growing pile of books waiting to be read!!
