Hello, how are you? Saw that Jodi Picoult is your favourite author, I really like her. Which is your favourite one by her?
-
New Moon is still my least favourite, even after reading it for the second time I still find it really slow paced. I'm not fond of Jacob in the first three books. But he's quite funny in the fourth book! My favourite is Eclipse. Yeah, the imprinting thing only bothered me as it seemed too convenient; out of all the millions of females, he just happened to imprint on her. Just seemed too easy? I dunno. But I did like all of the books, just by different amounts.

Thanks for that. I can imagine the educational difficulties and disabilities parts to be really interesting. Adult transitions includes stuff like puberty, gender differences, partner selection, becoming a parent, mid-life crises, ageing, etc! The other modules I've chosen are criminological, violence and aggression and mental health. What areas did you study?

Hello! I've just read that you did educational psychology as part of your Psychology degree. Tomorrow, I have to decide my third year options and Educational Psychology is one of the modules. I'm torn between that and Adult Transitions. Could you tell me a little bit about what you did in Educational Psychology please? We've been given a booklet but it's so brief! Thanks a million in advance.

No, I haven't seen the movie yet but I plan to at some point. And yeah, exactly, I think he could have written it in a way that would make the book more of a whole rather than lots of separate parts. I just read your review and it must be amazing to have knowledge from your own life when reading the book, having visited the exact places he was describing!

I'm loving the insight into India and the variety of the culture, it's really fascinating, if not very harrowing at times. I also really like Swarup's style, he's a great story teller, I think! I love the idea of the book, how events from his life has led to him knowing the answers but I think due to the nature of that, it reads a little like numerous short stories linked together. So starting each chapter kinda feels like reading a different book for a few pages. I'm also not completely hooked on it at the moment and am not that attached to it.
I'm off to read your review now!

Hello! I take it that you've read Slumdog Millionaire too then? How did you find it? I'm over halfway through but I just don't have much time to read it at the moment. There's several things that I really love about it but others that I'm not so keen on!

Hello I'm good thanks, how about you? Because they took so long sending one out, they sent me two so now I have two Twilight bookmarks! They're different though, hehe. I haven't received the autograph but I think he's back in America now for filming? Never mind, it was well worth a shot! xx

Oh, after reading Testimony I needed to read a light, fluffy book because it shook me up a little bit! I grew attached to Silas. When you've finished, you should check out my spoiler review (on my Bee's Books thread) that I wrote on it, I'd love to know your thoughts and if they're similar in any way.

Have a great day!
