I wouldn't say I am shy, but I like who I like, and I know with whom I am most at ease. I also just don't care whether 'new' people like me, I feel like I have just hit a point where a strangers opinion of me doesn't matter much. I am a good person, with a sense of humour, a regard for others and the opinion that connecting with others is great, but not at the price of losing myself. The great thing about an online forum such as BCF is that we all have this thing in common, (ie books and reading), and from there we can converse on other things, and build relationships. Already there are certain posters posts that I look forward to reading, whether I am actually in 'convo' with them or not.

Just finished reading this book today. I enjoyed it! There is an ongoing "What the hell is going on?" aspect to it that is compelling, and the pace allows this feeling to be maintained for quite a while. I did get a feeling very early on though that ... I was half right!

No, it's not the spring onions - I'm a fan of them too!

What a fab five Nellie! All intriguing.

Hello Fruska! Don't worry, the only rule is to join in when you want!

I read The Da Vinci Code some time ago, and enjoyed it well enough. I read Dan Brown's Angels And Demons this past weekend. In both cases I found them well paced and easy to read. Kell's review is spot on, and I could definitiely recommend both books as an easy read.

When Cynthia woke up, it was so quiet in the house she thought it must be Saturday. No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay This is also the first line of this entire thread!

Cheese Sandwich?

You could have done that while watching CBB! It may help the process! I have caught the odd 10 minutes here and there and found it to be fairly boring I'm afraid.

The power of suggestion!

More Five Facts 1) I saw a photo of Dennis Healey's sitting room and fell in love with it (books galore!) 2) I am only just starting to feel that I know myself and where I may be heading. 3) Burghead lass just made me use google! Boy that is rare! 4) I am avoiding my family for the moment because I anticipate being drawn into a situation that I cannot bear to be in. 5) I love being married to my OH (nowhere near 30 years - only 7!)

Phew - it's not just me then! I no longer feel so alone.

OOOh, that sounds yum!

*whispers* I haven't read the Twilight books yet. I did say yet though......

Yep - it sure is! Yum! I will be making a sausage hot pot later. Lots of veg, tin of tomatoes and a generous splash of chilli sauce!

It's a slow burning tortuously delicious languid read of a book! Be ready for perspiring descriptions and meandering lush pathways of thought. I liked it!

I have a secret liking for the Capri Sun advert! *Shhhhhh don't tell anyone*

Now that's just cheating!!! What happened to the cheese sarnie?

Hiya Koman!
