  1. i hope you will like it here!
  2. Well, now I'm finished with The Falls. I liked the book over all, and then there were some truly great moments. Like when DC Clarke heads out in the night to get chocolate. (I'm really only mildly obsessed with chocolate). I do think I'll be reading more of Ian Rankin's books. And then I started and finished Betina Krahn's The Husband Test. An enjoyable romance, I have a thing for stubborn heroines.
  3. So I started several books but none of them fit my mood. Until I started The Falls by Ian Rankin. The others will have to wait for a while. I have never read anythin by Ian Rankin before.
  4. I hope you will like it here!
  5. :006:Hello and welcome! (I'm one of those who needs to be told where the Start button is...)
  6. :17:and I hope your birthday was nice!
  7. Hope you will enjoy it here!
  8. I finally finished "Here Be Dragons". I took a break in that to read for my exam, since it certainly was a book I had to concentrate on to fully enjoy. Some parts of it was lovely and very entertaining. Other parts I did not enjoy so much. I have issues with infidelity, for one thing. But it was amazing how an author can make something that happened so long ago come to life. I'm told that Sharon Kay Penman's books are historically correct, that's an advantage in my opinion.
  9. Have been reading for an exam, that's why there hasn't been much updates here! Anyway, I had the exam yesterday, and came home to find Book Lover (Jennifer Kaufman and Karen Mack) in the mail (Thank you, ii!). I read it, and liked it. It's not the best book I've read this year, but I like books about books and readers. Avoiding problems (or life) by reading is something that sounds familiar, too.
  10. Thank you Bev. I have read Pillars of the Earth, but it was many years ago. I will see if I come across World without End, then. I might enjoy it.
  11. My mother picked up the boys from school and daycare and made dinner for us. Minced meat beef, potatos, sauce, salad. Just basic food but I was very grateful since I have fever and have not been feeling much like doing anything . Mothers are a true gift, no matter how old one gets.
  12. I have read and enjoyed quite a few of Joanne Harris' books. I had a period when I read a lot of books that in some respect were about food. Chocolat was one of them, but I must say that I liked both Blackberry Wine and Five Quarters of the Orange better than I liked Chocolat. But I would say that all those books are very similar to one another. My all time favourite by Joanne Harris is Gentlemen and Players, I think that's because I had a lot of surprises when I read that book. Sometimes when you read a book you know the "formula" of that type of book, and you can make pretty good guesses about what's going to happen. It doesn't mean that those books are bad- but it does make those books stand out when you are surprised.
  13. Alexander McCall Smith always makes me happy. Edit: OK, his BOOKS always make me happy.
  14. Oh, I enjoy it very much at least. Need to fake working once in a while too
