Oo very cool, thanks! I'm still half way through Kiss Of Life, find myself not enjoying this one as much as Generation Dead. How are you finding Passing Strange?

I said the same thing, there's no way it wouldn't have been noticed that they weren't the same baby, the assumption that all newborns look the same is a total myth! I heard the same thing, that it goes on until next new years, I hope it doesn't too, because that's just too long to drag something as sensitive as this out.

What's everyone making of this baby storyline?

Eastenders

Thanks guys, hope you both have great years too!

Yeah I was exactly the same, I'd love to go back and read the books I loved as a kid though, it'd be interesting to see how much I still like them

Oh that's cool, I wish I still had my original Enid Blyton books, I'm not sure where they disappeared too but now they've changed them and that makes me sad!

Thank you, you too! I can't remember the last time I read some Roald Dahl, so when I saw the big boxed collection for only £15 I had to get it! I'm hoping to get quite a few read this year, especially Matilda, I'm really looking forward to that one

Thanks Ben, best to you with your reading too I'm about half way through Blood, Sweat And Tea, and so far I'm really enjoying it, it's certainly interesting to read about the life as a paramedic, I don't think I could do it that's for sure! I'm glad you enjoyed Killing Floor, I'm hoping to get around and read that whole series this year

Well I'm starting off the new year with two books, Kiss Of Life by Daniel Waters, and also Blood, Sweat And Tea by Tom Reynolds which I'm reading on my shiny new Kindle I hope everyone has a great year with their reading, and here's to no wandering mojos!

Books read in 2007 (78) Books read in 2008 (53) Books read in 2009 (127) Books read in 2010 (113) With things being a bit rocky in real life at the moment, I'm not going to set any goals for this year, instead I just hope to at least hit 100 books, which I think should be doable. I'm also hoping to make a bit of a dent in my tbr book pile and try not to buy as many as I did last year. If I manage that, I'll be a happy girl

Me too

Of course we wont delete Genevieve! This whole thread is for discussion and you don't have to have the same opinion as everyone else. I do agree with what you said though, he is young and naive and is lured by someone that was great at manipulation.

Identity

The Wolfman is just starting

It's Complicated, I actually rather enjoyed it

I've barely read anything for weeks, it sucks! So I'm going to try and read Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane in the hopes it kicks my mojo up the bum

8 people voted for this book, so I'm really surprised that more people aren't taking part

Great answers so far! Is anyone else joining in with this months read?
