  1. Ohh yes, The Spiderwick Chronicles, that's a really good film, I think you'd like that one BJ, also Arthur and the Invisibles, and The Last Mimzy, Zathura (similar to Jumanji but just with kids) and not so much fantasy but Wall-E is really really cute!
  2. Can I guess Handle With Care and Second Glance
  3. "No, no, no, that's not what I mean. It would be a staged suicide attempt. A ruse." Augusten Burroughs - Running With Scissors
  4. My mother is standing in front of the bathroom mirror smelling polished and ready; like Jean Nate, Dippity Do and the waxy sweetness of lipstick. Augusten Burroughs - Running With Scissors
  5. I hate the word chargrin, Stephenie Meyer used it so much in the Twilight series, especially Breaking Dawn that whenever I hear or see that work I cringe
  6. I didn't really like it due to the storyline cutting a bit too close to the bone, and that's pretty much why I didn't like it, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it
  7. I read the Treatment and it really wasn't my cup of tea :/
  8. This is me atm
  9. I agree Pan's Labyrinth is a fantastic film, but as said, it's very dark.
  10. I think Chicken in mushroom sauce with something
  11. Ohh that's awesome, I'm really looking forward to reading The Angel's Game, though will get it when it goes down in price a bit I think
  12. Yeah it sucks, do you not have Living? I know they're very close behind the american dates on there
  13. No problem Mac I think you'll really enjoy it
  14. The Rose Labyrinth by Titania Hardie No. of pages: 528 Rating: 4/5 Synopsis: Before his death in 1609, the brilliant Elizabethan spy and astrologer John Dee hid his most astonishing secrets, trusting his descendants would one day bring them to light. That time has come. In 2003, Will Stafford inherits a strange legacy from his mother: a key and an ancient script with an enigmatic note. Intrigued, he travels Europe seeking answers to Dee’s riddles, unaware that someone is following every move. Back in London, Lucy King becomes entangled in Will’s cryptic labyrinth. As its mysterious twists take her from France to New York, and from literature to myth, in search of its hidden treasure, she has never been closer to the truth, nor in graver danger. Review: When Will Stafford's mother leaves him a mysterious key in her will, he has to find out what the story behind it is. But what he finds leads into an awful lot of trouble, as religious fanatics are desperate for the story that is unravelling and will do anything for the information. I really enjoyed this book, the tone in which it's written is beautiful, the language really flows and just draws you in from page one. I found the contents of the story fascinating - John Dee, 'The Rapture', religion, Shakespeare, cellular memory - there are just so many aspects, but surprisingly they all fit together perfectly. It starts as several different threads and then as the book progresses, they all start to twine together and I really enjoyed how they started to slot into the story. I especially loved the descriptions of the various settings, it has definitely made me want to go and visit them myself one day! The Rose Labyrinth has been likened to 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'The Labyrinth', so I think fans of those books would enjoy this, but I think everyone could take something from it, as it has a bit of everything for everyone and it's a really great book.
  15. I made salad sandwiches very nice they were too!
  16. Glad to see you liked Iris and Ruby, I have it waiting on my TBR pile
  17. Ohh awesome, I love this series, glad to see you enjoyed it Kat
  18. I'm thinking chicken breasts in a mushroom sauce, not sure what with just yet though
  19. See I prefer Cornwell's series on the whole, but agree about Marino, I hate what she's doing with him and it's so out of character compared to the earlier books
  20. I know, I couldn't actually believe they'd leave it like that, it's going to be a longgggg wait for next season It's the best finale of a season I've ever seen though, I can see why they fought so hard to keep it under wraps
  21. I agree Ceinwenn, it's always the cover that initially draws me in as I just don't have time to browse lots of books and see what they're about
