Sweet Chilli Chicken Pizza

Well mine has now breached the 200 mark, I have 204 waiting, but really hoping to get them down as I need the space on my bookshelf

Well as readers I'm sure most of us feel like this, I use this quote on my blog too

I've read it too Janet, and I've dipped in and out of the series, as I only have a few of them so far, and I've never found them overly confusing with regards to missing a earlier plot point.

When the phone rang I was in the kitchen, boiling a pot of spaghetti and whistling along to an FM broadcast of the overture to Rossini's The Thieving Magpie, which has to be the perfect music for cooking pasta. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Tempted by P.C. & Kristin Cast No. of pages: 319 Rating: 3.5/5 Synopsis: Zoey needs a break after some serious excitement. Sadly, the House of Night school for vampyres doesn't feature breaks on its curriculum - even for a High Priestess in training and her gang. Plus juggling three guys is no stress reliever, especially when one is a sexy Warrior so into protecting Zoey that he's sensing her emotions. Wider stresses lurk too, and the dark force in Tulsa's tunnels is spreading. Could Stevie Rae be responsible for more than a group of misfit fledglings? And Aphrodite's visions warn Zoey to stay away from the immortal Kalona and his dark allure - but they also show that only Zoey can stop him. She's not exactly keen to meet up, but if Zoey doesn't go to Kalona he'll exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. She just has to find the courage to do what's necessary, or everything that's important to her will be destroyed. Review: When Aphrodite has another double vision, Zoey must stand up and decide what to do for the best. Can she resist Kalona's allure enough to destroy him? It's time for her to make some tough decisions... I found Tempted to almost be a replica of the past two books, same exact storyline with nothing really solved. I think that if they stopped focusing on all the boy drama, which is pretty boring by now anyway, and focused on advancing the storyline a bit more, it would be much better. However, I did really enjoy the fact Stevie Ray played a much larger role in this book, she's one of my favourite characters, so it was good to read. Instead of being just Zoey narrating through the whole book like previous ones, in this book it flicks back and forth between Zoey and Stevie Ray and it worked really well, I also thought the direction they're taking Stevie Ray's storyline is a very interesting one, and for that I'll probably keep reading the series. I'm pretty bored of Zoey now though, and I think they need to bring something different to her storyline, which I'm hoping they'll do after the cliffhanger ending.

Thank you and yes, being on this forum will bring you close to bankruptcy

Did you enjoy it? I found it to be a bit repetitive and disappointing :/ Finished Tempted last night, and will be starting The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle today, which I'm really looking forward to

We had chicken breast stuffed with stuffing, roasties, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli

Almost finished with Tempted so will def be done with that tonight, then will be starting Murakami - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

I felt the same Gyre, with regards to the things you said about Zoey though, I feel the same things have followed through to what I've read of Tempted, which is a great shame as I disliked them in Untamed too

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Cat & Mouse Green Day - Give Me Novacaine Westlife - What Makes A Man Joe Purdy - Can't Get It Right Today Ne-Yo - Stop This World Creed - One Last Breath Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel Celine Dion - The Greatest Reward Lifehouse - Somewhere In Between Nick Lachey - What's Left Of Me

Fitting punishment imo

I like that one too Kell, that little girl is so cute!

I haven't read it, but will be picking it up, thanks Janet!

I went to see 9 last night, pretty cute film

I think you'll both enjoy it ladies x

Yeah I think that was it for me too, kinda pointless and very random haha. Interesting concept though

I finished The Lost Book Of Salem, and now I'm going to quickly read P.C. & Kristin Cast - Tempted before reading this months reading circle The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

The Lost Book Of Salem by Katherine Howe No. of pages: 463 Rating: 5/5 Synopsis: While clearing out her grandmother’s cottage for sale, Connie Goodwin finds a parchment inscribed with the name Deliverance Dane. And so begins the hunt to uncover the woman behind the name, a hunt that takes her back to Salem in 1692 . . . and the infamous witchcraft trials. But nothing is entirely as it seems and when Connie unearths the existence of Deliverance’s spell book, the Physick Book, the situation takes on a menacing edge as interested parties reveal their desperation to find this precious artefact at any cost. What secrets does the Physick Book contain? What magic is scrawled across its parchment pages? Connie must race to answer these questions – and reveal the truth about Salem’s women – before an ancient family curse once more fulfils its dark and devastating prophecy... Review: When Connie's mother asks her to clear out her grandmother's house so it can be sold, she's not looking forward to it. But what starts as a chore turns into much more when she discovers a piece of parchment with the name Deliverance Dane on it. Her search for Deliverance takes her back to the Salem witch trials, and reveals more than she ever could have imagined... I've always been interested in the Salem witch trials, and so this was a great read for me. I liked how it started as two completely seperate people and times, Connie in 1991 and Deliverance in 1692, and then as the story went on, you saw how the two seperate stories came together. I thought it was really well written, especially considering it's a debut novel, and it showed that Katherine Howe obviously did a lot of research before writing it. The characters were really well written, and were enjoyable to read about, especially Deliverance and her daughter Mercy. Now I have to find more books written about the Salem witch trials as I found the topic really enjoyable!

Don't hate me, but I really didn't like Being John Malkovich But then again...I don't really like John Malkovich, so that could have had something to do with it

Me too

Wandered around a few charity shops today and picked up Stephen King - Cell and Sophie Kinsella - Remember Me? (a Nightwish recommendation ) and then went into the Works and picked up the new QI book - Advanced Banter for my BF Now I'm off to finish The Lost Book Of Salem and start P.C. & Kristin Cast - Tempted

Yes and yes I've just got to the point where I'm so curious to see where it's going, Really hoping to finish it tonight

HAHAHA! I like it Chrissy
