Fi.

Seriously, I need some fresh titles to read and yes, I have really broad taste - I'll try just about anything!

April is good with me Go ahead and make a list - I'd be interested to see what you put on it! Hey, we could turn it into a personal challenge for me - get me reading some different stuff other than the fluff I seem to be stuck on

Raw carrots and a pear

Because I'm an idiot! No, honestly I don't mind fitting in with you guys - the only time I won't be around is when I'm back in hospital but I'll still be taking books with me. Go ahead and plan

The Violet Hour - Sea Wolf

My vote goes with the whole trilogy, you really should read the whole thing As for when, I'll go along with everyone else - I have absolutely nothing to do this year except read and waste time on the computer so can fit them in any time

I'm up for a read of LotR - I try to re-read it every couple of years and it's about that time I read The Crimson Petal & The White when it came out and loved it, there's a sequel called The Apple available too. I've now read 130 pages of GwtW and I'm absolutely loving it, I seem to be paying a lot more attention to all the detail this tme round.

Death - White Lies

Anthem Of Our Dying Day - Story Of The Year

I'm about 120 pages in now, I got sidetracked by a couple of other books but I'm going to crack on with this one now. I'm loving all the detail, it's really making the book come alive for me. I've already noticed a lot more than when I originally read the book over 20 years ago! Scarlet would adore my hair colour, although I'm naturally red-headed it's definitely only staying red these days with a bit of help

Hello! Welcome to the forum

I give it a year, I reckon she'll be pregnant within the next 4 months

This is my all-time favourite yoghurt ever! I'm eating an apple and some grapes.

I've just bought this as I'm fed up waiting for a library copy, way down the reservation list and my library system only has 2 copies

I'd like to think so too, about Alex at least. KP/Jordan's track record though appears to be - meet guy, pop out child(ren), get engaged/married, messy separation, move on to next victim

Welcome to the forum Ilona

Mushroom cannelloni for me tonight

Aren't they fantastic? Speechless - Lady Gaga

That was my first thought when I heard the news - I mean, she dumped him on national tv and then, as soon as it appears he'll be famous for 15 minutes, they're getting married??? I'd say it's out of a desire for yet more publicity and desperation to me rather than anything else!

Brie & red onion chutney sandwich

I really wanted to love it but she ruined it by - I really liked what we saw of him and I just couldn't get my head into the book after that It's my sort of guilty pleasure book too!

I'm happy to see Anna Kendrick got a nod for best supporting actress in Up In The Air 'm not even going to hazard a guess at who's going to win what though! Having not seen Avatar, I can't say whether it deserves to win or not.

Thanks Kelly, I think I might have enjoyed it more if she hadn't had as the 2 main characters. Although I suppose if she didn't do what she did, the riddle that went "for Will for when he is something that he isn't now" would have been slightly useless. I noticed she has a new book coming out later this year - The House Of The Wind - something to do with Tuscany and haunted houses, involving a poem by Keats. If the library gets any copies I may give her another try but I might wait to see any reviews first

Definitely Dead - Charlaine Harris Blurb - Sookie doesn't have that many relations, so she hated to lose one - but of all the people to go, she didn't expect it to be her cousin Hadley, a consort of New Orleans' vampire queen - after all, Hadley was technically already dead. But she is gone, beyond recall, and she's left Sookie an inheritance - one that comes with a bit of a risk - not least because someone doesn't want Sookie digging too deep into Hadley's past - or her possessions. Sookie's life is once again on the line, and this time the suspects range from the rogue werewolves who have rejected Sookie as a friend of the pack to her first love, the vampire Bill. Sookie's got a lot to do if she's going to keep herself alive . . . The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night. 4/5 Another great Sookie book and, in my opinion, better than the last one. The action moves to New Orleans and we meet a whole host of new characters. My favourites were Amelia and Sophie-Anne, looking forward to more of Amelia and Bob the cat. And I can categorically say I'm no longer a fan of Bill, how dare he? I was completely gobsmacked when that snippet came outand also when it was discovered what exactly about Sookie that may attract all the supes.

The Rose Labyrinth - Titania Hardie 1/5 Blurb - Before his death in 1609, the brilliant Elizabethan spy, astrologer and mathematician John Dee hid many of his papers, believing that the world was not prepared for the ideas they held. In spring 2003, Dee's many times great granddaughter and final holder of the secret was forced to pass the enigmatic legacy to one of her two sons. Diana chose her passionate, tempestuous younger boy, leaving a tiny silver key with a note: For Will, when he is something, or someone, that he is not now. "Summer 2003:While seriously ill Lucy King awaits heart surgery in London, Will travels Europe seeking to decipher the clues in the ancient document, and find a lock to fit the key. It is a search which will leave him and Lucy inextricably linked. But Will is not the only one trying to reach the truth at the heart of the Rose Labyrinth! Not much to say about this apart from the fact that I have never been so disappointed in a book for a long time, if ever! I'm so glad I borrowed this from the library instead of buying it. Rose Labyrinth has been on my wishlist since it was published but I've only just got round to reading it. I wish I never had It has everything I like in the plot, there are references to mythology, literature and fairy tales, riddles to solve but it started going downhill when, after only a few pages, she Awful, don't waste your time or money - it gets 1/5 for for the first few pages.
