Excellent review Lexie Hmm .. not sure if I'll rush to buy this just yet, although the two I've read have been fantastic. Maybe if I see it in a charity shop or something.

Hmm.. sounds ... 'interesting'.

I haven't seen Donnie whatshisname .. isn't that about a giant rabbit or sommat?

Kevin and Perry Go Large. Has to be one of the worst I've had to endure. Total rubbish

Aw Roxi You gotta love Toy Story no?

I hoped you checked your house wasn't built on an ancient cemetry or anything? I'm just saying ... you know .. cause .... Oh never mind. Rex was so funny but I loved the way Mrs Potato head fussed over her hubby!

I've just added another 3 books to my TBR pile, on the other hand I've taken 4 off my wishlist!

Sounds like the movie's gonna be better than the book! She's got you there rawr! Reading 'The Exorcist' by any chance? Careful your bed doesn't start floating to the ceiling in the middle of the night! On the topic of Toy Story, when my son was five he entered into a charity fun run dressed as Buzz Lightyear! My OH made him the body armour and arm bands out of papier mache and everything, he looked fantastic! He won first prize too for his age group! He hates looking at the pics now mind you

Hi Tim Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here.

I'm a witch in my early twenties living in Portland Oregon with my sorcerer boyfriend and adopted teenage daughter. We've just met my boyfriend's powerful father about working for him and I've just refused. I've a feeling I'll change my mind though ...

OMG this sounds fantastic! The casting sounds perfect! How will I be able to wait until next year!!!!!

10/10 for me again today too!

Its been that long since I've seen it that I can't remember the half of it. I did find when I was reading the book that I would picture the characters that Disney used, just as they'd drawn them. I don't remember there being as many poems though and l can't recall The Duchess at all! It has been well over ten years since I saw it though I think my fav Disney movie is The Aristocats, brilliant story and some cracking songs!

Oooh I hadn't planned on it no, but you've made it sound interesting so I think I'll check it out! I just presumed the film was based on Alice's Adventures. Thanks Kylie

10/10 for me today!

Thanks Lexie. I'd never heard of Erica Spindler before bcf!

I wasn't sure what to start reading tonight so I picked up Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ~by~ Lewis Carroll tonight. Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's: Bored on a hot afternoon, Alice follows a White Rabbit down a rabbit-hole and tumbles into Wonderland: a topsy-turvy world of riddles and nonsense where animals answer back, a baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a disorderly tea party, croquet is played with hedgehogs and flamingos, and the Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille. In a land in which nothing is as it seems and cakes, potions and mushrooms can make her shrink to ten inches or grow to the size of a house, will she ever find her way home? My thoughts: I've only ever seen the Disney version of this, never actually read the book (I don't remember a baby turning into a pig in the film!). With the new Hollywood remake being released soon, I wanted to aquaint myself with the book first as I'm sure Disney didn't stick wholly to the story. Its a quick read and actually pretty funny. My favourite character had to be The Mad Hatter, who kept popping up throughout the story although I did like the Cheshire Cat and the Duchess's morals, quote: "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you where or might have been was not otherwise what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." Phew! What a quote eh? She had loads of them! I did enjoy this, even though Alice got quite annoying after a while. I can't wait to see the new movie, hopefully Tim Burton will do it justice. 7/10

I finished In Silence ~by~ Erica Spindler last night. Goodness, I've been really lucky lately with great recommendations! Description Courtesy of Amazon: When Avery Chauvin returns to her Louisiana hometown after her father's suicide, she discovers clippings of a fifteen-year-old murder and learns about recent disappearances and murders that lead her to start an investigation. My thoughts: Avery Chauvin is a big city journalist who comes from a small Louisiana town, a town where everybody knows everybody else .. and their business. She returns to her old home because her father committed suicide a year after her mother had died. She doesn't believe her Dad would kill himself and sets out to find out what really happened. She uncovers that a group calling themselves the 'Seven' are making damn sure that their picture perfect, small town life stays exactly the same, weeding out the undesirables and making ensuring that no outsiders interfere with their idyllic apple pie lifestyle ... even if they have to resort to murder to accomplish it... I really enjoyed this book, Erica Spindler is becomming one of those authors where I don't think I'll have to read the blurb to know that I'll like her work. She manages to write an engaging, thrilling book with plenty of action throughout while still exploring the depths of her characters. I would definately recommend this. 9/10 thank you Lexiepiper for sending this great read to me!

You're very welcome Nicola, I'm so glad you enjoyed it Its a brilliant read Heather, I agree with Nicola, highly recommended!

Glad you enjoyed The Blue Nowhere Nicola (although 9/10? Jeez you are a hard girl to please! ) Scary stuff eh? Really makes you think before you enter personal stuff online doesn't it?
