    Fifi's Fantastic Fiction & Other Assorted Books (started 2009)

    in Past Book Logs

    Posted · Edited by Fi

    Right, my reading took a nosedive at the end of last year for various reasons so I'm going to use this to give me the proverbial kick :lol:

     

    These are some of the books I have lined up for January - have read 4 already which I'll stick in a seperate post. Bear in mind my reading is so eccentric in taste it might make your head spin, I make no excuses for the alarming discovery that half my reading seems to be of the "trashy" genre recently :)

     

    To Read In January

     

    Winter's Tale - Mark Helprin (re-read)

    Immortal - P C Cast

    The Swan Maiden - Jules Watson

    Sarum - Edward Rutherfurd

    The Lost - J D Robb

    Salamander - Thomas Wharton

    Bitten - Kelley Armstrong (re-read)

    Camelot's Sword - Sarah Zettel

    A Pound Of Paper - John Baxter

    Wideacre - Philippa Gregory (re-read)

    The Favoured Child - Philippa Gregory

    Nightlife - Rob Thurman

    Dead Reign - T A Pratt

    Spell Games - T A Pratt

    The Boar Stone - Jules Watson

    The House On The Strand - Daphne du Maurier

    Dark Lady's Chosen - Gail Z Martin

    The Master And Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov

    Right, before I get into my ditherings over NM I'd just like to reassure everyone that it hasn't taken a week for me to become coherent again, I've just had a lot going on :)

     

    Oh oh oh, I forgot to say - Jasper looks amazing in this movie. He's not in it much I know, but he's (by miles) the most inhuman looking person in the entire gang. He just LOOKS evil - and I love it. He's still the hottest by miles.

     

    As we all know, I *heart* Jackson but yet again they made him look stupid with his poor hair :motz:Personally, I think Rob asked them to do that because he thinks Jackson is too hot :)

     

    I'm going to see this on Wednesday

     

    Yay :lol: You'll love it!

     

    I think I picked the best night to go, we got there early and because of pregnant sister and my limping/walking with a stick we got escorted in and shown to the best seats! When the film started there was lots of whooping and then it was deathly silent - no screaming tweens, nothing. I was slightly concerned there were several small children that appeared to be 8 or under, considering the film didn't finish until 11.30pm. When Jacob & the wolf pack appeared sans shirts nearly everyone shouted "put your shirts back on" and booed :) The entire audience appeared to be Team Edward!!! There was certainly no Jacob love going on and there were quite a few (male) voices shouting "get a life Jake" at the almost-slushy moments.

    And of course it was always Edward, Jake knew that but is a spoilt kid who wants what he can't have.

    Will be back later with more - not typing well just now as I have a splint on my wrist...

     

    I'm really desperate to see it again but apparently our pokey little cinema doesn't have wheelchair access to the screen where it's showing and I'll be in one for up to 6 weeks after my surgery on Tuesday so not happy :)

    Okay, so even though I own all the books I've just downloaded all the audiobooks using a gift certificate :D:guess: Trying to talk my mum into coming to the pictures with me next week to see it again (I know! I haven't seen it once yet :D but a girl has to plan these things! ) and she said no :D

     

    25 hours to go for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't see how I'm going to sleep tonight but I'm going to have to - was up til 3am talking to my "friend" in the US :D I know at least 6 people who have given it the thumbs up so I'm slightly less anxious now :D

     

    I found the trailer for Remember Me on MySpace last night - I want to see it but I really don't like Emilie de Ravin, she was the one thing that ruined Lost for me...
