    Are you referring to Flash and Mootilda, or The Tales Of Beadle The Bard?

    My Dad loved Revolting Rhymes. When I was little he would get me to read them out to him after dinner, he used to laugh so much he could barely speak.

    I think I'd have wanted my money back with an ending like that!

    I agree about:

    I didn't make it to the end of The Milll On The Floss... Sounds like I didn't miss much!

    I've picked this book up many times in the bookshop, but never actually bought it. I am not sure what is stopping me... I wonder if it appeared a bit too "worthy". I will definitely give it a go now. *adds to list for 2009*

    Thats a great link Kell, thanks!

    I can't remember the name of the book now, but I picked it up randomly from the crime section as the blurb on the back sounded good. It was a great read, a murder early on (a drowning) and lots of dodgy people with motives. When I got to the end it turned out that... Have an endings really let you down?

    I was in town today and wandered into Waterstones. I bought 2 books for Mr Nellie. I assume that because the books weren't for me, they don't count?

    Given the number of people who say that they can't resist buying a book, any booksellers on here must be feeling a warm feeling!

    The little cow is Flash's friend. She's called Mootilda.

    Flash says, thank you, he thinks you are lovely too.

    The stories themselves are quite different to the main HP series, there is less humour I thought. They are much more like fables, but I enjoyed them anyway.

    It's nice to be able to chat about a book where someone has the complete opposite point of view to you about the plot. I guess thats the joy of a forum, lots of different opinions. I don't know anyone "in real life" to chat about books with. I've given up on the local book groups, they all seem barking mad...
  16. Nellie
    I should probably add that...

    I'd better make another batch!

    I think the problem for me was:

    *hands lemon cake to Madcow and Kay* The trick to not making them go up in the middle is not to over fill the cake case. Only 1/3 full of mixture, and then they stay flat, or at least mine do. Any more than that and they rise too much.

    LOL, good explanation! I understood why it happened, but, I still think it's a mad ending for a book. It really jarred with me, didn't seem to fit with the rest of the book.

    Sorry about the different sized images, they are all the same size in photobucket. Hopefully it will sort itself out.

    Mr Nellie bought be the collectors edition, and it was so beautifully packaged I thought you might like to see it. Flash my Pleo helped me unwrap it.

    I'm not the best of cooks as Mr Nellie will tell you, but I'm not bad at Fairy Cakes. Mrs Nellie-in-Law is coming to visit tomorrow, so I have made some cakes. I hope they taste OK! *worries*
  24. Nellie
    I'm glad it made sense to someone! I thought it was utterly bonkers.

    Oohps! Ha ha! Didn't I tell you I have a tardis? All fixed now. I have to say that my Book Spa at Mr B's really opened up a lot of new authors to me, and so I read a much more varied selection of books now. I didn't see the TV version, but I have heard alot about. I'll let you know how I get on!
