I felt the same about Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember. I read the book on the strength of the film, but the book lacked the emotional impact that the film had. On the same note, I also read the book based on Housewife 45 drama, and found it didn't keep my interest as much, but then again the Lady who wrote it never believe that it would be published to the thousands. I preferred the ending for Neil Gaiman's Stardust, but enjoyed the film so much more. It just seemed even more magical in film.

Just a spicy pizza tonight, we can't be bothered to cook much of anything tonight.

hello

I'm a bit late reading this one, but I just wanted to post how much I enjoyed this book. Well told, despite the leaps in time and although the ending wasn't a huge surprise, it was a good conclusion. It made me look forward to my reading sessions. All in all a great read - this month's favourite.

Usually on the bus back & forth to work and on my lunch break. I sometime read at night if I'm not too tired or late and if my son is having some TV time and I don't fancy watching cartoon. I think it's important that he sees me reading.

welcome from me too

I haven't joined that long ago myself and I find it a lovely place. I'm sure you'll be addicted in no time.

I read this recently and felt a little disappointed by it, as I had heard favourable things. It started with a lot of promise, but like Ruth says, but then you realise how so self-centred and unlikable the main characters were. they both didn't work as a partnership either for me, I just couldn't see how they got together. Although I didn't give up, by the end I was glad to get rid of both of them. Clever idea, but I wish I actually cared about it.

The bars were in hexagonal segments with a hazelnut in caramel inside. Then they brought out a praline version with segments shaped like mountains and a one with round segments with a coconut cream inside. I also long the for the return of black cherry creams in Roses.

I was a mess when I turned 20.

I needed to place to chat about books as I only get to chat to my Mum & best friend. I googled book forums and here you were. You seems to be the busiest and friendly looking bunch.

28 here, and too near 30 for my liking. lol

I read this on recommendation of someone else last year. While I enjoyed the book, I was not blown away by it by any means, but it does have a slight addictive quality to it. I left it feeling I wouldn't bother me not to read the follow up, but I have been drawn to start reading them. I do believe that the writer captures teenage love & desire whilst keeping an innocent tone to the whole book.

Hubby made homemade pizza, base and all, with chicken & peppers. It was very yummy.

:welcomeboard:from me too.

Here are my TRB shelves taken last year... They have now spread to three bookcases.

Never a huge Wispa fan myself, but good news to all choccy fans. Personally I would want the return of Secret bars and Terry's Moment bars. I loved the coconut one. They were yummy.

It's a coming of age novel set in the 1950s. It's one of those books where not a lot seems to happen, but really a lot is happening, if you get what I mean. It's all about friendship & family and learning about what love really is. from Lovereading

I'm thinking about sausages & mash tonight... Yum!

I read this book last year and I wish that I hadn't know anything about the book before I read it. I really felt like to had to discover the story piece by piece like Bruno was. Knowing the background spoilt it for me from the start, although the ending was just as poignant. I'm keeping this to give to my son as he get older as I think it will be important for him to read and help him understand what happened how these people felt more than images and pictures that I could show him in the future. Like Lovesreading06 said I felt like i was there watching it happening. I have given this book to a few of the youth at our youth club, but I told them nothing about it, but to read it. So many of them have said it's effected them deeply than they expected a book could.

I missed the repeat yesterday, but I'm hoping to catch it on Iplayer.

I spead a lot of time on the bus to work to an office bang in the middle of nowhere, so I have nothing else to distract me. Do, it's lovely. It also has one of my favourite first lines, second only to Pride & Prejudice

Oh dear, now I've bigged it up I hope your not disappointed when you do get to read it.
