  1. I love it! I'm gutted that after a week of an episode every night, it's gone to episodes once a week on a Monday night - now I've got to wait a whole week before the next one Tonights episode is being repeated on Saturday on BBC Four at 10:30pm, Fi, or it's on the iPlayer now.
  2. Just finished watching Nurse Jackie, and now about to watch Mock The Week
  3. Hello Sarah!
  4. Friends (again )
  5. It really depends on the man and his taste in reading! My friend is a stickler for what he considers good writing, and he loves what he says are the better Austen novels (Mansfield Park, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility), likes some of the others (Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey) and dislikes the rest.
  6. Great review, Kell! I've read all the books in the series, and this one is still my favourite, and the one I re-read most often
  7. Read about 120 pages of The Shoe Queen by Anna Davis today, and I'm so pleased ii recommended it, as I absolutely adore it so far! Will try and finish it this evening if I can. I got that for Christmas! Good to hear it's funny so I can look forward to reading it now
  8. I'm really pleased you enjoyed Dime Store Magic, peacefield! You've got Industrial Magic next - I liked that better than Dime Store Magic, so I hope you do too.
  9. Thanks for spotting that Janet! I've updated the first post as well with a comment in there, just so hopefully everyone gets the right day
  10. Hello!

  14. Just watched Quantum of Solace. Not seen it before - it was okay but a script might have helped! Not up to Bond standards.
  15. I've got The Whole Day Through on my TBR list so I'm glad to see you liked it, Inver. I've not read any other of his books, and I really wanted to read Notes From An Exhibition but it wasn't in the 3 for 2 offer and this one was, so it was this one I ended up with! Looking forward to it now
  16. I found another new series at the end of last year, and this proves the sort of addict I am, I read all five books in the Missing series by Meg Cabot in the space of four days! I know they are an easy YA series, but I loved them, and as usual, once I start a series I have to read all the book as soon as I can.
  17. Yes, please spoiler tag anything plot related for the new series! I don't mind finding out actors who are going to be in it, or writers, or directors etc., but please try to avoid monsters, aliens, planets, returning characters, episode titles and anything to do with the stories themselves.
  18. I didn't even open a book yesterday Must do better today ...
  19. Great review, Chimera - I've seen this author mentioned a few times now, and all the books sound intriguing, so I'm adding him to my wishlist now
  20. You might want to have a look at the Lost Mojo Support Group thread! Lot's of us have been there, and there's some good suggestions and support if you need it
  21. The one with the bloke in the psychiatrists chair who opens his mouth and audio for classic adverts comes out.
