I know isn't it great. I must say though, that book sounds fantastic! Do you mind if i ask where did you get it from and how much? I love it!

Thanks for that review Gyre it sounds really good.

You know, i used to be a veggie, and althought i eat meat now i do eat mostly veggie food. But i've never triend Tofu. I may buy some for next weeks meals. We are going out to Bens cousins tonight. They are three young bachelors. So goodness knows what we will end up eating. You never know they may surprise us.

I have a second list pending the completion on the one posted here. I think i'll put this book on it. Which means i'll proberbly get round to it before the end of the next decade!

Thats an interesting way to look at it. Instead of it narrowing you selection it widened it. I'll try that. I always read the back to see if it's the type of book i would read. But i guess the title and cover pricked up my interest enough to look, so maybe i'll give the next one a go.

I know that sometimes i may give a type of book more of a chance to grip me than i do others. Like if i have never tried any of that particular author's books. I know sometimes it can take a while to get into a new book. I find this especially difficult if i am reading a book with a unique layout, perspecitve, or style of writing. (e.g The Curious incident of the dog at night time)

I have entered 1 because i never usually read more than one at a time. However at the moment as a one off i am reading two. Only because one of the books i am reading together with my husband. When he's not able to join me i am itching to have something to read, so i have started another. Like i said though: It's a one off.

I have just finished reading Alice in Wonderland by lewis carroll and now i'm in the middle of Through the looking glass. I loved it. I was just as good as i remember and i can not wait until the film comes out. I'm especially happy because i feel well and truly ready because i will have read the books. I'm also thinking of watching the cartoon production as well, before i see Tim Burton's. My favourite bit was when the cheshire cat says: I'd agree with this coz my cat's off his head! And i've been quoting this to everyone since i read it!

I really like this one Roxi. I love the sun being so clear. And it's the focal point of the picture.

Love the pic's. There all looking good so far. Wow, we have some talent on this forum!

My husband has just done the cutest thing for me. Because i'm reading Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy he made me a bookmark with the words 'don't panick written in big friendly letters' across the middle. And a picture of the paranoid android Marvin.

Thanks Oooooo...i forgot about Winnie the Pooh! Shame on me!

I've put books on my TBR list that i want to see at the cinema this year. Sometimes i'll read a book the second time, because it has been a while since i read it last and i want to refresh my memory before i see it at the cinema. I read The Time Travellers Wife in good time for the movie. I have read Marley & Me and now i'm ready to hire the film. And i want to read Through The Looking Glass before Alice In Wonderland comes out. I'd be really fed up if i'd done it the other way around.

Hunting unicorns By Bella Pollen IBSN: 0330411578 Pages: 350 Adrift in a rapidly changing world, the Bevan family cling to tradition while wresting with texes, tree blight and the need to keep the family tree in the cuboard. The Earl and Countess of Bevan - Charming, mad and emotional abbreviated. Daniel, their eldest son - funny, intelligent, but a hopeless alcoholic. Rory - his younger brother - sometimes moody, often cross, but mostly furious. Enter Maggie, am opinionated and occasionally ferocious American journalist for CBS's hard-hiting current affairs show Newsline. Far happier sending back dispatches from the trenches of war-torn anywhere, Maggie is none too pleased at being forced to research a documentory on the decline of England's upper classes. When these to worlds colllide no one is prepared for the fallout. Brilliantly compelling and deeply moving, hunting unicorns is the story of two brothers with inextricable attachments and one woman with none. A superb romantic comedy that is sharp, poignant, redemptive and very funny to the last. My thoughts When i began the book i found myself wondering why it was called a comedy. I did enjoy what i was reading, but didn't find it particularly funny. However after the first 4 chapters i started to get into it and found myself laughing out loud at some of the ridiculous situations that Maggie gets herself into. I enjoyed the characters. Especially the Earl and Countess, Alistair and Audrey. Even thought they seem like a pair of nutty snobs to begin with, i found i started to appreciate them and hoped they could keep their home, even though the upkeep of such a property as Bevan, seemed like as real nightmare. The ending was quite romantic and sweet, but i felt it all dragged a bit too much. I would say i found it mildly enjoyable,but it wouldn't be a book i'd go out of my way to recommend. It was worth reading, i just felt a little disappointed with the flow of the book. I also found Bella Pollens writing a little difficult to follow. Overall i'm glad i read it. I will give this book a 6/10.

I've been looking through all the charity shops recently and i noticed i only look at the books that have an interesting new look about them. I'm proberbly missing out on many interesting books there!

I know what you mean. When it's to hot i don't have that much of an appetite. I like to eat a cold meal if it's like that.

I've added it to my wish list. Thanks.

I'm getting from the polls: You either love it and can't get enough, or you don't and have had enough!
