Alien Now I know why I never wanted to watch this movie...

I've finally started Justn Cronin - The Passage yesterday and read some this morning. I also started Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets today, as The Passage is a bit to big to read on the tram and such.

I quit reading The book of tomorrow a few days ago and started a book by a german author and also (as I accidently left the book at work) Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone

Series: Harry Potter Twilight Chronicles of Narnia

I have this one on my tbr pile and I'm planning on reading it in december, finally.

Welcome to the forum Donna No dentistry books for me but I'm surrounded by books about logistics, marketing, industrie management and so on. Probably as interesting as yours

As it took us 11 hours instead of 5 to get home from our vacation, my bf treated us each to two new books (to make day a happy one again). I got: Agatha Christie > Fata Morgana (They do it with mirrors) Krystyna Kuhn > Das Tal Season 1.1. Das Spiel

Roald Dahl > The Twits Synopsis from amazon The Twits is one of his many successful and highly entertaining books. The Twits are a couple that nobody would like to know. They are hairy, dirty, smelly and generally unpleasant. Roald Dahl's characters are possibly the most horrid people you will ever read about. Mr and Mrs Twit spend their days inventing new ways to be be nasty to each other. Each time Mrs Twit does something bad to Mr Twit, he just invents something worse to do to her. The Twits are not only unpleasant towards each other but they also hate animals. It is because of the Twits' attitude towards animals that we see their really awful side: Mr Twit keeps a family of monkeys that have to spend their days upside down and Mrs Twit likes to make pies with freshly caught birds. My thoughts This is the first Roald Dahl book that I didn't really like. I can't quite pin point why, though. Hmm, weird. Rating: 2/5

Agatha Christie > Die Kleptomanin (Hickory, Dickory, Dock) Synopsis from amazon There's more than petty theft going on in a London youth hostel! An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot's interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items -- including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup -- he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a 'unique and beautiful problem'. The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened? My thoughts My first Agatha Christie ever. As I'm not used to this type of books, I found it to be a tad boring. But I was hooked nevertheless as things kept happening to keep my attention. Bf gave me the book and right away got me another one, this time a Miss Marple one, to see if I like her better than Poirot. Rating: 3/5 Series: Hercule Poirot 26

Jilliane Hoffman > Der Maedchenfaenger (Pretty little things) Synopsis from amazon After a date on Halloween, Lainey Emerson disappears, along with a new boyfriend. This individual, known only by the nickname of El Captain, is the obvious suspect. Bobby Dees, the tenacious special agent of Florida’s crack Crimes Against Children squad, is the one person who may be able to find her -- and he is both helped and hindered by the fact that he knows only too well how it feels to lose a child. But all of his resources are called upon by a nemesis who always seems to be one step ahead – and time is running out for the missing girl. My thoughts I got the book through a bookcrossing book ring and I'm not too sure what to think of the book. The idea was really good, but I didn't quite like that the book is mostly told out of the police's view. Also the author mentioned her first book quite a lot of times during this book, which bothered me a bit (as it wasn't nesessary for the story). If you put that aside, the story was gripping, but I didn't like it enough to want a copy for my own. Rating: 3/5

Mary Janice Davidson > Happy Hour in der Unterwelt (Undead and Unappreciated) Synopsis from amazon Davidson's third Queen of the Vampires novel continues in the same vein as Undead and Unwed (2004) and Undead and Unemployed (2004). Betsy, still obsessed with shoes, discovers that Ant, her wicked stepmother, was possessed by the devil back in 1986 when she gave birth to Betsy's half-sister, Laura. This means that Laura, adopted by a minister, is actually the Spawn of Satan. And that's not all: the creepy Book of the Dead prophesies that the Spawn of Satan and the Queen of Vampires will rule the world. How is Betsy going to tell the warmhearted, churchgoing, innocent Laura that her birth mother was the devil, and that Laura may be on the path to world domination? Subplots involving a fiend named George, a baby shower, and a wedding keep the action perking along. Readers who love the sassy, foul-mouthed Queen of the Undead will enjoy this latest installment. My thoughts I don't seem to warm up to this series. There are fun elements in it but also a whole lot of things that are not. I still have the same problem as in the first book. Rating: 2/5 Series: Undead 3

Just watched the first season on vacation last week and totally loved it. Sheldon is just hilarious! Also quite funny is the amount of Roseanne characters appearing in the show, I wonder if they get more in the other seasons...

Room is going straight to my wishlist

I've finished four books last week, while being on vacation. Yay for me Yesterday I started The book of tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern.

SAW 1-4

1. Generation Dead 2. Kiss of Life 3. Passing Strange there might be a 4th one, as Weave said above, but I don't know anything about it.

Daniel Waters > Kiss of Life Synopsis from amazon When Phoebe's best friend Adam takes a bullet for her, it proves everyone right - Adam is in love with her. And now that he's come back to life, Phoebe's presence may be more important than ever. They say that a zombie can come back from death faster if they're loved... and kissed - which means Phoebe has to say goodbye to Tommy Williams, the other zombie in her life. While coaxing Adam back to reality and fending off Tommy's advances, Phoebe continues to carry on as if everything's normal. But normal has been different since American teenagers started rising from their graves. Although some try to bridge the gap between the living and the differently biotic, there are scores of people who want nothing more than to send all of the undead back to their graves. And the dead kids in Phoebe's school don't like that one bit... My thoughts I liked this one even more than the first part of the series. The characters really warmed to me (is that a sentence?) and the book has a nice mix of love, frindship and well, Zombies. Especially the end of the book made me quite emotional and I was appalled by the things that happened to those lovely db people for no reason at all. This is not just a fun book about zombies, it's also about human behaviour, what people do to each other if there's someone different than yourself, if you're scared and angry with the wrong ones (just so you have someone to be angry with). I still got one book to go and I'm really curous about what happens next. So many questions left to be answered... Rating: 5/5 Series: Generation Dead 2

I finished Kiss of life yesterday and started Undead and Unappreciated today

The Dirt is a great read, quite disgusting at times but still fun. Oh I love Roald Dhal, I just discovered him in 2008 though while being in Australia, as he doesn't seem to be as popular in Germany. Now I own some of his books myself and they're all ilustrated by Quentin Blake. Such lovely books. I still have some on my wishlist, as I only baught the ones that I haven't read yet.

I've got this one on my tbr pile aswell. Maybe I finally get to read it in december.

Only got about a 100 pages left of Kiss of life My Mojo is definately coming back, as I'm kinda flying through this book.

Tonight is my local Bookcrossing meeting and I'm planning to "get rid" of a few books, so the won't need to move into the new flat with me.

The Snall Hand sounds pretty good and I put it on my wishlist. The cover is quite lovely, too.

Roald Dahl > The Giraffe and the Pelly and me Synopsis from amazon Who needs a ladder when you’ve got a giraffe with an extending neck? The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company certainly doesn’t. They don’t need a pail, either, because they have a pelican with a bucket-sized beak. With a monkey to do the washing and Billy as their manager, this business is destined for success. my thoughts And again a wonderful sweet little book by Roald Dahl. As it's extremely short, there's not much to it, but sweet as ever and I just love his writing style. Rating: 4/5
