  1. Frankie! What do you mean you can't read the book yet?? :eek: Well, I suppose I'll let you off this time but as soon as you've read it I wanna be the first to know! .. and tell your friend to keep his beer off your books or he'll have me to answer too!:theboss:

     

    I have indeed tested the jets, they're great, so relaxing. The only thing is the bath is so big I tend to float about which plays havoc with my reading! I don't float so much with my OH in with me though ;)

     

    Stupid bloody dog rolled in something again today and had to get another bath! I only took my eyes off her for 2 mins! :motz:She's really pushing her luck!

     

    Great news though! My son got his exam results today and he did really well, he now has the choice of either going back to school or college, I'm delighted! :yahoo:He's pretty pleased with himself too :lol:

     

    Enjoy BB! xoxo

  2. Hi Blithe to the forum!

  4. Hiya lovesreading :D How are you keeping? Thanks for the pic comment! We have two bathrooms, there are just several pictures of each one ;) I hope you liked them :)

     

    I hope you're well xo

  5. Aw thanks :blush: you're making me blush! :lol: I'm so pleased you like it, I'm really lucky my OH does all the work himself, he's tiling the kitchen floor at the min. The bathroom with the large bath is connected to my bedroom, you know me, I love my bath! The jets help with my joints too. The other bathroom is only really used by the kids and visitors although at the minute my living room rug is steeping in soapy water in the tub! The dog was out and either rolled in a cow pat or a cow stuck its ar5e over the fence and pooed on her! She was rotten! She proceeded to come in lie on the rug! Stupid dog had to be bathed too :irked: My son will be pleased you like his choice of colour, I quite like it myself too :)

  11. Hey pipread! Great reviews! Nice to read that you enjoyed Dexter again I agree this installment was indeed better than the third. Looking forward to the next one! Last Known Victim sounds great, I'll add that to my wishlist. I think I may have seen that in Tescos the other day too
  12. I think I know why ladies . After book four all I wanted to read about was Eric and it was a bit frustrating when things more or less went back to normal! I just kept thinking, 'where the hell is Eric!!!' :motz:It did pick up though That's my theory anyway

  20. Dying Light ~by~ Stuart Macbride Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's It's summertime in the Granite city: the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and people are dying! It starts with Rosie Williams, a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death down by the docks - the heart of Aberdeen's red light district. For DS Logan McRae it's a bad start to another bad day. Only a few short months ago, he was the golden boy of Grampian police. But one botched raid later, he's palmed off on a DI everyone knows is a jinx, waiting for the axe to fall with all the other rejects in the 'Screw-up Squad'. Logan's not going to take it lying down. He's determined to escape DI Steel and her unconventional methods, and the best way to do that is to crack the case in double-quick time. But, Rosie Williams won't be the only one making an unscheduled trip to the morgue. Across the city, six people are burning to death in a petrol-soaked squat, the doors and windows screwed shut from the outside. And despite Logan's best efforts, it's not long before another prostitute turns up on the slab! My thoughts: This is the sequel to Cold Granite and even better. DS Logan McRea has been assigned to DI Steel's 'screw-up squad', after a botched raid he orchestrated left an officer in a coma. With a DI working him hard and a Chief Inspector out to get him, he sets out to prove himself and work his way out of his predicament. This proves to be easier said than done, as a serial killer is enjoying his pastime a little too much and adding bodies to the morgue on a regular basis. There also happens to be a criminal boss from another city trying to set up business on Logan's patch and he's not to be messed with ... I love the fact that this series is set in Scotland, it makes it very easy to picture in my mind and the author does an excellent job of setting a scene, although it's mid-summer, with sun! Somewhat harder to picture in Aberdeen This book is another gritty read from MacBride, even more gruesome than the first but with just as much dark humour. I loved the intertwining stories and the author's depiction of the main character makes him both interesting and likeable. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to getting the next in the series. If I were to compare him to another author, it would be Richard Montanari, if you liked his 'Rosary Girls' series then I think you will like this. 9/10
  21. "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." From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, said by the Duchess. I love it! It's one of those 'eh?' quotes where you have to think about it for a wee minute
