I wouldn`t wait if somebody else offered to make them for me, I really don`t like making & cooking them, but I would happily eat them.

That`s Another Story an autobiography ~ Julie Walters The first few pages seemed to drag and I began to wonder how far I`d get with this book! However this soon changed and I began to really enjoy reading it. Julie Walters wonderful sense of humour started to come through and at times I was crying with laughter. I found the description of her earlier years, her school life, working as a student nurse and studying drama well written and entertaining and it was hard to put the book down. Unfortunately though, as she started to write about her television, film and theatre work, for me the book seemed to lose something again. It almost felt like Julie Walters was rushing to get the book finished and I began to struggle with it, it was a bit of an effort to continue reading. On the whole this book felt as though it had two halves, the first half was really very good, humorous and entertaining. The second however fell flat, and I became bored with what began to feel like a list of acting jobs and little else. I felt a bit cheated really, as I feel the second half could have been so much better. 6/10

That sounds delicious! They`re on the shopping list and I`ll be trying it out tomorrow. Can`t wait! I haven`t got any chocolate, spread or otherwise - it`s not fair!

Thanks Charm I`ll look out for them.

Hello Yvonne

I love to browse bookshops and that`s where impulse purchases are made, but books that I know I want tend to be bought over the internet.

What a great idea. :)I/We take books for granted and I can`t imagine having to wait 2 weeks for the camel library to bring me a book.

Hello, how are you doing? Hadn`t seen you on here much lately. I haven`t started the Christian Jacq books yet, I`ve still got 2 more of the set to collect, (thought I`d get all 4 books before I started) I`ve literally just started reading Anne Frank Remembered, I`d not long finished Julie Walters autobiography. What about you - what are you reading now? Did you read any more Peter James books, I`ve still only read the first one, I`ve got Not Dead Enough waiting for me to get to it. So many books to read but theres not enough hours in a day!

I`ve never tried them, I think I will now though! They sound delicious.

Hello, we are book buddies for world book day! Do you want your book to be a surprise or would you like to know in advance? Anyway I`ll pm you my address (I`d love a surprise) if you do the same with yours, and I`ll send the book off by the weekend.

, That is so difficult to answer! In all honesty it was a book of two halves I think. The first half ( the earlier days) was so well written, the descriptions were good and Julie Walters humour really came through, I was crying with laughter at times! The second half, the later years, of film,theatre and TV, seemed to lack something, it was as though she was rushing it through, or at least that`s how it felt to me. So the answer is.....? Overall it was ok, worth reading for the first half! I`m happy I borrowed it rather than buying it though.

Every day`s like that for me nowadays!

I can`t read when travelling by road, if I try to, I very soon feel sick and have a pounding headache. I have to travel with the windows open and look into the distance, then I`m fine. It`s a waste of precious reading time though.
