It is so hard to fight the temptation to add more books to my list. I want to try to finish the list before the year ends (and i don't actually think i will, but i'm trying nonetheless), but i won't achieve it if i keep adding to it. I have to have a secod TBR list. One that is for after the list i've got, maybe next years.

I've been doing a load of pasta dishes recently and although i love pasta i really want to have something different tonight. I don't want rice though. Erm....

I remember in junior school one teacher reading us a lot the Roald Dahl books. I remember The Twits, and Georges Marvelous Medicine the most. I also remember him reading Enid Blyton's, but i can't remember what they were called. In High school i can only remember the name of: A Midsummer Nights Dream Macbeth An Inspector Calls I know we read a lot more and i remember loving the books, but i can't remember the titles.

Hello Bel-ami. I'm sure you'll like it here.

I lost my fav bookmark, which was a cat that sat at the top of the page like it would on a fence, and held the page with its front paw and tail. However i do have a new one of a cat peeking out through a hole in the fence. It's really cute.

Hi Prue! to the forum.

This jelly fish thing made my laugh! I was stung by a jelly fish when i was young and i had quite a bad reaction to it. Now everytime i see one my family say 'oh look they've found out your here and come back for more!' which is really annoying!

I just have to say i totally agree. That letter sends shivers down my spine. It's so passionate. I love the fact that a love can not take silence and isolation any more. He just has to know! Brilliant choice. As far as a modern romantic love goes: i think The Time Travellers Wife is beautiful. It's a more real love to me. Gritty in places. But to me that makes it a stronger type of love. I think it's wonderfull the way they need each other so much. The waiting, enduring and loving each other all the more for it.

I love gardening. I have spent a lot of money time and effort this year doing my front garden up. Although i feel at the moment as though i closed my eyes for a second and the weeds have just shot back up and there is grass where its not supose to be!

Let me know, if it does or doesn't. I need a good kick start back into my diet. Back to topic: Jacket pot with salad and coleslaw.

Ok so.... i planned after i had read Marley & me to read Howards end but then i found The Time Travellers Wife for really cheap and i couldn't resist and bought it. I have been looking forward to reading this book as the idea fasinated me. I really enjoyed it. I will leave any proper reviews to the suitable thread and i will just say a few things: I recognized this book for what it proclaimed to be from the beginning; a love story. However it's not your typical love story(and i don't just meen it in a obvious way). I felt it's about being together as a proper family kind of love. One that is willing to put up with a type of separation that is unique and has a whole new type of loneliness, just because they want to wait for each other. I thought it was beautiful. I'm really looking forward to the film that is soon coming out. Book: 8/10 My next book?.......i think i will take your advice mac and read the Douglas Adams books next.

Hello and to the forum.

I cannot stand keeping things unless they will be used. Some books i keep but there has to be a very good reason. I'm quite hard with myself over things like that. I have to be really as my husband would keep everything he ever had if i let him!

In Marley & Me he loves to use the word Rambunctious. But after reading the book i can understand it! The dogs crazy!

I just put them on the shelf as they come in. I don't keep a lot of books so it's not diffcult to keep track of them. I know most books i won't read again, so i keep the ones i like for display, such as my favorites, really old looking books (coz i love the look and smell of them), collectors books, and books i know i want to read again at some point. Overall i don't really keep a lot of books. The rest just go to the charity shop.

I read a lot of Enid Blyton. And Roald Dahl. Oh and Just William(can't remeber who that was by though)!
