  1. The book that made me realize that I'm not too stupid or too unimaginative to read fantasy is Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. Although I had read Harry Potter before that, I'd say that Thursday Next made me want to read more fantasy. I simply cannot understand how it got rejected 76 times before someone agreed to publish it. It's a work of art!
  2. Just finished Lost & Found by Jacqueline Sheehan.
  3. Seriously speaking, I think it would be a great idea to start up our own group here. I'm not sure about the bookish penalties though, I think it would be best for everyone to think of their own regime and "penalties" if they wish to have those But other than that, I'd be interested. Anyone else?
  4. Bob had left the waxed food carton on the counter the night before and it now smelled of grease and fish. Jacqueline Sheehan: Lost & Found
  5. Yep it's a bit confusing. I think all of the other Shopaholic books also have two different titles. So far I've noticed "Shopaholic Abroad" and "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" which are the same book. Maybe there are different titles for UK and USA. Great books though
  6. Or even worse: No BCF before losing a pound.
  7. Thanks Charm for your advise I really think I'll have to postpone reading any thrillers but next time I'm in the mood for them I'll definitely consider The Surgeon
  8. I did think about reading it, but I'm fearing that I've read too many Kathy Reichs's books in a row to read any more thrillers (although I do like them). I'm a bit irritated at the fact that Tempe Brennan always .
  9. Mutya walking out was fine by me, she didn't do anything in the house IMO. She was just missing her kid and wanting to get out. Does any of you think LaToya is right about Michelle in that she's just looking for attention and tries to get sympathy votes and get people to vote Coolio out? I've grown to like Michelle and I wouldn't like to think that she would do something like that consciously. Although I also like LaToya and think she's wise and very perceptive. So can't make up my mind about that :/ Although I think that even if Michelle were having a crush on Ben and didn't admit it, it's really not anyone else's business to make such a big deal out of it.
  10. Maybe you could post an after-dinner pic someday :lol:

  11. Spooky, that's a funny name for a cat! Any particular spooky reason for the name? She/he doesn't look that fat in the pics though.

  12. Finished Stalinin Lehm
  13. Yeah Piper the Rottie. Such a cute dog! :D

  14. Or maybe there was only one dog, I've forgotten :/ . Anyway, dogs are so nice, I wish I could have one too!

  15. Hello Kookie, I'm glad you joined us :D How are you enjoying the forum?

    I've heard that you have two dogs, and sometimes when you are reading on the trampolin, one of them comes there too and jumps around and messes about a little until he settles down next to you. That must be fun :lol:

    Hello Zmae and welcome to the forum!
  18. I have an older brother who also drove me nuts when I was younger. The problem is that he still does, and we're 27 and 32. And I kid you not.
  19. Hello Kookie, welcome to the forum! Don't mind your Mom, she's a bit wild herself sometimes! I hope you enjoy it here
  20. I don't listen to a lot of radio but when I do, it'll be Chronix Aggression on the internet radio. No talking, no commercials (except for C A commercials), just pure music.

    Hello Nessicle and welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here!
  22. Fried venison again for lunch. Dinner is a mystery, BF is coming over for the weekend and he usually does the cooking. It's something good anyway
  23. Raven Thanks for the laughs, I needed that
  24. Wow, hats off to you! I would've loved to have read it in one sitting, it was so good, but it was just way too long for me to read just like that I still can't believe anyone could manage it. That's commitment if anything!
  25. Hello and welcome to the forum!
