Using 5 words or less give a clue to a character from a book . E.G. Green eyes, lightning scar, hero?.....It could only be Harry Potter. I'll get things started with......Mystery symbols, archives, decoding?

Music To Watch Girls By ~ Andy Williams

I think a re read of Neil Gaiman's 'The Graveyard Book' is likely to happen for me in the coming week or two.

Unfortunately, Christine didn't do that, and she's really in a jam. Unfortunately, Christine's idea failed miserably. "I vowed never to create something like that again," she says, "I just feel the world isn't ready yet." I sympathize with your viewpoint, but unfortunately Christine is legitimately wacko. Unfortunately, Christine's dream of escape to Greece has been shot down. Unfortunately, Christine begins to feel intellectually inferior at the big event, and it leads her to make a bold decision

1) I have added a new word to my driving experience ~ 'Marvellous', as in "That's just marvellous, pulling out in front of me like that!" 2) The eczema I have at times appears to really like the middle finger of my left hand, as it is always found there. 3) I sometimes get the urge to drive to the seaside in the middle of the night and have a cry. 4) My finger nails are growing faster and stronger than they ever have. 5) I get the burps when I am very stressed.

The Changing Man ~ Paul Weller

Hello Joanya, and welcome to the forum.

We I We thank you for sharing that gross story. I'm not sure whether I'm glad I've already had breakfast, or whether I wish I'd eaten nothing!

Dear Miss Frankie, Chrissy has been ever so kind to lend me her account so that I may humbly request the 'turd' story. Thank you. *runs away thinking "She'll never guess!"*

I posted two books off today, and had the delight of having a surprise book arrive from a fellow BCF'er. 'Wicked Plants ~ The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother & Other Botanical Atrocities' by Amy Stewart. It looks absolutely brilliant, with such chapter headings as, 'Fatal Fungus' and 'Weeds Of Mass Destruction'. I am looking forward to delving into this next week when OH is away on business.* *If he has any sense, and notices the title, he'll not accept a salad from me after an argument in the future!

Band On The Run ~ Wings

Consider this request number two! (geddit?!!)

This is such a brilliant book, if you are enjoying it so far, just you wait! Thank Michelle! She's the one that got me started (and on 'Therapy too!)

I finished the can't-put-this-down-'til-I-know-what-happens 'Tell Tale' by Sam Hayes this morning. What a compelling and exhausting read! This book creeps up on you, with a slow build up of the characters and the situation. You feel that you kind of know what is going on, but it's all given to you gradually. Without realising, the tension is mounting and mounting until you're gripping the book tightly and turning the pages with a strange combination of almost-dread and absolute thrill to find out what happens. Really well written, and a harrowing joy to read.

I woke up very early and lay in bed for ages hoping to go back to sleep. It wasn't meant to be, so at half past four I got up, made myself a cup of tea and snuggled up on the sofa with 'Tell Tale' an absorbing and compelling book by Sam Hayes. I had to drag myself away from it to go to a 'do' this afternoon. I will have it finished by tomorrow night.

Nollaig, NOLLAIG! Have you seen today's Google? ~ It's for Oscar Wilde's Birthday!

'You Do Something To Me' ~ Paul Weller

Thanks M. Very much appreciated. That cat is attempting mind control! Willing you to put 'Mice' into google! Thanks Abby. Now we've come through this first week , we are pretty much over the initial shock and are doing ok aside from the occasional funny five (ten-twenty) minutes when his absense makes us crumble.

Hi Lorraine. We read 'Fahrenheit 451' as a Reading Circle discussion book back in January. If you like, you could perhaps go along to the thread and add your thoughts.
