Some of my TBR are in an actual pile, carefully stacked away from feline and/or canine interference! Others are on various book shelves around the house. They are all to be read eventually. I also have my running mental list of authors and books to get hold of as and when I see them, find them and remember them/

I am left with that uncomfortable feeling that if the donors and carers don't kick up a fuss about their situation, then neither will normal people. It brings a creeping sensation of disgust, that people could allow this situation to develop as it clearly did. In conversation with Miss Emily however, you can start to imagine not only how, but why keeping it at a distance became a necessity. As she says, Here was the world, requiring students to donate. While that remained the case, there would always be a barrier against seeing you as properly human. I want to believe that there would exist in our society a force for change, a grouping of like minded people who would work to halt this cloning for parts. Miss Emily, when talking to Kathy and Tommy in her home, explains the evolution of this general social acceptance for cloning; how we needed cures for diseases, and having found a way of resolving this could not return to the time before readily available replacement body parts. One aspect I felt pulled toward was the extent to which people are cloned. Does everyone have a clone ready and waiting? Or are only a select number entitled, through wealth or standing?

.."Is this omelette for me then?" I replied.......

Hiya Leah!

....careful not to get any on the naughty......

Hiya Cadenza!

Oh Poop, sorry Lexie! ROXI, your meal sounds delish! It must be the X that threw me!

Honey and dijon sounds delish Lexi! That's made me hungry. It's spinach and riccota tortellini with a herby tomato sauce tonight.

Lmao

Twilight? I know that name..........Mmmmmmmmm......... Isn't there a book out by that title?

Hiya Springsteen!

How on earth did I forget Roald Dahl?

Famous Five, Mallory Towers, St.Clare's and so many others; I think I read pretty much everything that Enid Blighton wrote at some point in my childhood. Then came my obsession with The Chronicles Of Narnia which lasted a number of years. I developed my passion for detective stories, thanks to a Compendium Of Detective Stories and Duncton Wood put in an appearance around these years. In my early teens I read was captured by grittier stuff, and the two books that stand out for me are That Was Then, This Is Now by SE Hinton, and Bubblegum And Kipling by Tom Mayer. This second one my mum had bought me, not realising the very adult content in parts!

I'm glad I'm not the only one - my cursor has hovered a number of times just to have a quick look.

This is on my TBR pile - I may just shift it to the top now!

I bought the book last year having read comments about it on another forum. In each instance the posters said just how powerful and moving this book was, and how they each had not been able to shake the feeling it had left with them . It is wonderfully paced, a little more revealed just at the moment where you are wondering if the story is actually going anywhere. You end up horrified and fascinated by the subtleties of emotion, by the resignation of those involved, and by the often only inferred back story to events.

I have to add these to my list! I only discovered The GG last year, they are currently showing them from the beginning on E4! Fabulous! Northern Exposure - Brilliant series. I adore it!

Hiya Lucybird!

I generally try to have fresh, unprocessed food. I make most of my meals from scratch, and keep to fruit and such like for snacks. When I have a drink it's tea or water (and the occasional filter coffee). I am not above having a ready meal, a take away or yuck added nonsense! If most of the stuff I consume is dandy, occasional additives etc shouldn't harm. I just find for myself that the less messing about with the food I eat the better I feel in myself.

Aspartame is a crappy little additive, and I usually avoid thing that contain it, but occasional things I let slip through!

That's so pretty Ceinwenn! Great colours and design.

Hiya Polly!

But is this the children's own *cough* talent, or are they CGI manipulations?
