I managed to read about 10 pages earlier when my laptop temporarily overheated and blew itself away. Other than that, I've been working on my essay.

Snap! I get my shopping on a Wed too!
I order it online and Tesco deliver it for me. Costs me less for delivery than it does for diesel to go and get it! 
Oh well aren't we fancy.
My house is at point A. Town is at point B, roughly a 35 minute walk away (about 1.7 miles). College is roughly in the middle. But my Wednesday morning class is out the other side of the campus, closer to 25 than 15 mins away. So I go to class, then walk to town, get all my shopping, and walk alll the way home again.

Finished!
I am keeping quiet about what I think until you lot have finished too!
-
Egg sandwiches.
All I had left was an egg and some bread.
Wasn't bad actually.
Now I'm down to just bread.
Roll on shopping tomorrow
-
I gave up Religion for Lent (paradox - the mind boggles) about.. I'm 21... I was 10... that makes 11 years ago. Nice to see my maths is still up to scratch.
I'm an all or nothing kinda gal too - I never took Religion back on
-
I really want beans on toast now, but i didn't get any bread >:l
You're not on msn.
I have bread, but nothing else
-
I might just have some toast, I don't really have much until tomorrow.
-
I'm still only about halfway through haha, I'm only reading a few pages a day this week, so you'll probably catch up to me at the weekend!

There's a sequel called The Toyminator, and if you google Rankin's name you'll find he's written a couple dozen books.
-
I just looked this book up and discovered there's three in the series so far!
1. The Alchemist's Secret
2. The Mozart Conspiracy
3. The Doomsday Prophecy
I want I want I want
-
Ohh I'm going to look up both those titles all the same
I really want loads more of these type books -
Oh yay! Theres a good crowd reading it so
I didn't read at all yesterday, and probably won't today either, just too busy with college work -
Conspiracy Theory books - what a brilliant name!
It is very much that sort of thing, it's only the third I've read, (I'm including Dan Brown's as one unit coz they're basically the same
) but I *love* these books! I want loads more - next on the list is The Reincarnationist! -
I read it in a day! He could easily have added another 100 pages and added slightly more detail (or a sense of more time passing, I felt it all seemed to happen very quickly) but perhaps thats just me wanting too much of a good thing! I loved it though
-
I thought The Book of Lost Things was wonderful. It was dark and gruesome (surprisingly so), and I loved the twisted take on the fairy tales. The ending was great, and a little sad. I closed the book with a sigh when I finished. I was one satisfied reader.
YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Hola!
No hablo espanol pero entiendo un poco? Or something!
Welcome!
-
I had the same issue in another book I read recently that was similar - The Rose Labyrinth. Great book, but more similar events would have been nice.
-
Oh wow you're ahead of me! When did that happen?? I'll have to try do some reading tonight
Up to about page 220:
Anyone else think it'd be nice to have more, in-depth glimpses into Shakespeares time? The book started with a short one - I thought there would have been more than just one additional one by now
-
Awesome! How far into it are you? I'm about halfway, but have a lot of college work this week so I'll be slowing right down now
-
Theres actually really bad reviews for this book on Amazon - mostly criticizing the lack of character development. There isn't much development, but at least they have consistent personalities - the heroine is a douche and her bodyguard sidekick is a Bond style mysterious agent guy with 'connections'. As I said to Ceinwenn, it's an action movie in book format - I'm totally loving it.
-
Wow, sounds really interesting!
I never knew Steve Martin wrote books! I'm defnately going to check them out
-
It's totally underrated. It's actually all about Dr. Frankenstein, the monster is, typically gothically, like a doppleganger, a shadow hanging over his life. And then when you get to see things from the monster's perspective it's nuts. Really really dark but brilliant novel.
-
Aren't they sort of chicklit? I find it hard to get into contemporary chicklit nevermind classic stuff Any good classic horror read suggestions apart from Dracula? (I've read it but am gonna read again )
Frankenstein is great.

I feel sick reading on all land transport except trains. Planes and boats are grand too.

I should have made pancakes for my brother. He loves them. He probably doesn't even know it's Pancake Tuesday though.
And I baked him queen cakes yesterday so he's grand.
