  1. ... .... I do believe I'm speechless! The most impressive list I've ever seen as well as frankie's! Wow! Happy Reading for 2011 Kylie
  2. You know you're getting old when .... you ask for thongs for xmas, and you get book thongs! Although, I don't really mind of course, they are rather gorgeous!
  3. Happy Reading in 2011 Julia! Hope your mojo stays well and truly alive & kicking for you this year, and you enjoy some fantastic reads Delete this post if necessary!
  4. That's an impressive reading list Ben! I have the Stephen Fry book on my shelf too and have heard great things about it. Looking forward to reading your thoughts Happy Reading in 2011!
  5. You've got some great reads there on your TBR pile Kelly, hope you have a great reading year in 2011 Happy Reading!
  6. Well that's it. I managed to read 68 out of my target of 70, which I'm confident I would have read if my mojo hadn't have disappeared at the end of October. I ended up buying a total of 101 books which explains why I still have a TBR pile of over 70! thank you to everyone who posted and commented on my book thoughts, and many thanks to everyone who has recommended some fantastic reads to me. Happy Reading in 2011 to you all, and may your mojos stay alive and vibrant throughout the whole year!
  7. Wow .. I can't believe it has been so long since I posted on this thread. It's funny how no mojo affect things! Since posting I have read, Through A Glass, Darkly by Bill Hussey Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's: "Through a Glass, Darkly" is a modern horror novel that deals with secrets long buried, festering guilt and haunting loneliness. Jack Trent, the most effective CID officer in the history of the department, is having bad dreams. He has seen the murder of a child in a forest at the hands of something indescribable. But these are more than dreams. They are visions of the future that Jack has tried for years to suppress. Something happened to Jack in his childhood; something that means he cannot touch another living person; something that killed his mother, and that has returned to inspire his visions.In a final race against time, events reach a dramatic climax as Jack attempts to save a boy's life in the clearing of Redgrave Forest. Can he face the long-dead Dr Mendicant and the ancient Darkness of Crowman? Can he face the evil living inside himself? And what will he make of the Doctor's final, devastating revelation? I ended up really enjoying this book. It is very dark in places and quite gory but it preys on all the darkest nightmares you've had about skeletal bogey men. I liked the main characters and apart from my waning mojo probably would have finished it in a couple of days. I would definitely read another Bill Hussey book. 7/10 Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's: Tessa is soon caught in a dangerous love triangle where a wrong decision could prove fatal. She will need all her strength to save her brother and stay alive as she learns the chilling truth of what really lurks on London's streets after dark. Discover more about the mysterious and sexy Shadowhunters in this thrilling prequel trilogy to the bestselling "Mortal Instruments" sequence. I love this series. I love the writing, the characters and the way the story develops keeping you hooked. Although it took me a month to read, that was nothing to do with the book. My mojo had totally gone. I will definitely be getting the new books in this series and can highly recommend it to all you YA readers as a thoroughly entertaining read. 9/10
  8. Can I come in yet? That is some impressive list frankie! You do realise that you don't really need to buy any books this year? You have plenty to last a few years! Happy Reading!!
  9. Great review Shin! I found it to be a harrowing but intriguing read, and thought young Sarah was a truly remarkable character, glad you liked it in the end
  10. Finally I finished The Clockwork Angel last at with 6 mins to spare before midnight so it counts as a 2010 read! Not sure what to read next though
  11. Happy New Year to everyone! May you read more books in 2011 than any other year ever! xo

  14. Aw! .... sending you huge sympathetic cyber hugs! I know the feeling. I've read half a book in the whole of December There's nothing wrong with the book at all, I quite like it, I just don't want to read which is really scary
  15. I've read the first 17 of the series and I must confess, I do enjoy them. I do agree though that they can be a bit samey and sometimes you can practically predict what is going to happen, but at least I know when I start one, I'm gonna enjoy it and it will keep my mojo entertained.
