  1. Oh dear! Not sure if this is good or bad either - I adore Muse, always have done but I'm also a Twilight fan. I guess in a way it's good because it's getting their music out to a wider audience but bad because said audience has an average age of 11. Will be interesting to see if this happens and what song they use if it does
  2. Well, I should be back from seeing the film about 6pm - look out for my review
  3. Unfortunately, if the powers that be think sex will get more people to watch Dorian Gray then that's what they're going to add. I first read DG 22 years ago and it's remained a favourite - if they've butchered it beyond all recognition I shall be walking out & asking for a refund.
  4. I've pre-ordered it too, mainly for my mum who is a huge Brown fan I want to read it too and was willing to wait for the paperback but she coughed up the
  5. I'm going to see DG later on today but with a friend, not my mum who (bless her) still gets funny at sex scenes on tv and in films
  6. I know I have!
  7. Glad I'm not the only one Have you ever had the print rub off on your face? That's happened to me a time or three
  8. Snap my older sister's children have always received books as presents from me and now both my younger sister & best friend are pregnant I'm already working on little person libraries for them!
  9. What??? Why do people behave like that? Makes me so :lol: Well done to your sister for going after her!
  10. I regularly wake up with my glasses still on and a book clutched in my hand
  11. Born reader - I was slightly precocious in that I learnt to read before I turned 3 and in reading assessments at school my reading age was always years beyond my actual age. My whole family are readers though so probaby not surprising that my sisters and I are too
  12. It doesn't matter what background noise there is, I still get completely caught up in whatever book I'm reading! My mum often says that a bomb could go off and I wouldn't realise if I had my head in a book
  13. I'm glad to know it's not just me who hates this! I really dislike going out to a restaurant only to be surrounded by people at other tables who do this or talk with food in their mouths
  14. I read the Landover books years ago - they were good, not too serious but enough for me to want to reread them every now and then. I started reading the Shannara books but I've lost track of where I got to as I've lost my book journals that cover anything before 2005
  15. Pizza with spinach, rocket, parmesan and chorizo
  16. I love The Mists Of Avalon, it's one I reread regularly. The other books are great too but I don't know about the last one published this year, The Sword Of Avalon I'm a huge Arthurian fan so a definite thumbs up!
  17. Granted but you're allergic to him! I wish that I could unearth an important archaeological find in Egypt that everyone else has missed
  18. Ouch Granted but millions of armed forces personnel are now all out of work and you have to pay for their upkeep I wish I could be a supermodel
  19. Granted but you lose all your research grants and sink into obscurity I wish I was able to travel in time
  20. Granted but the trees are 1000 ft tall and there's no such things as ladders or cranes I wish I was a film director
  21. Wish granted - unforunately he's now bald, severely spotty, only 5ft tall and broke I wish I was a bestselling author
  22. The Library Of Shadows is great, loved it when I read it back in June but worried about how the film version will turn out. Hopefully more of Birkegaard's work will be translated if/when he writes anything else. Just bought Mr Darcy, Vampyre too but not started it yet - must bump it up the pile
  23. Lol! I did work for Borders for nearly 4 years before this company :)

  24. When Marnie Was There - Joan Robinson Anne Of Green Gables - L M Montgomery Little Women - Louisa M Alcott Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild What Katy Did - Susan Coolidge I could probably add at least another 20 titles to that list - I found it really hard to narrow it down
  25. I have scars upon my left hand, but not upon my right. Mythangelus - Storm Constantine
