Bought Kim Edwards- The Memory Keeper's Daughter (for only

How about children's classics? There are plenty of those I haven't read (and a few I have)

to the forum, hope you like it here

Hia, to the forum, I am guessing you're a Doctor Who fan?

We had baked potatoes, no meat because it's Good Friday. Then we had some of my hot cross buns

Hia to the forum

I read Life on the Refrigerator Door in one sitting yesterday

It happened every year, was almost a ritual The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo- Steig Larsoon

I am still using the same bookcrosssing one, it got a bit wet the other day though so it's gone kinda tatty

I've always liked war stories, although not generally ones based on fighting with lots of battle scenes. When I was younger I read things like When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, and Carrie's War. Now I like Birdsong by Sebastian Fawkes, and Pat Baker's Regeneration Trilogy, things like those

I read Empress Orchird a few years ago, but I actually prefered the second half, can't really remember it that well though, only that I didn't like it enough to want to read it again

hmm don't know if he was the right choice really, I guess he didn't seem to do much in particular but he didn't seem to do anything bad either

Who was it that went then, James? (I missed the end) I'm ok with that, he annoyed me last week, but Ben annoyed me this week

to the forum, Sara. I read Like Water to Chocolate a few years ago and enjoyed it, was a bit...odd...though

lol yes I got that e-mail too, I am thinking I may just have to pop into waterstones this weekend! I think now my TBR pile is in the single figures I can get away with it

Hia, to the forum. I'm a Harry Potter fan too and was (and still am) a member of a big Harry Potter community before I joined here, which is small and intimate in comparison.

Hi Joy, to the forum. I've only read the first Twilight book and liked it and hated it both at the same time!

to the forum Kelly, what type of books do you like?

Life on the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers Synopsis (from Amazon) Beautifully told through notes left on their kitchen fridge, this is an intimate portrait of the relationship between a hard-working mother and her teenage daughter. Stunningly sad but ultimately uplifting, it is about being a 'good mother' or a 'good daughter', and is a reminder of how much can be said in so few words, if only we made the time to say them. Review This is quite a nice little book, quite simple and a quick easy read, it only took me about an hour. As someone whose Mum has gone through breast cancer I could connect quite well with Claire's character, not sure whether to worry or just try to act as if everything was normal and would be ok. In a way I found the idea of notes a bit unrealistic, I didn't think such important things would be discussed on notes, or at least not to that extent, even though sometimes it is easier to write things down. I also think the book could have been better if . In all if you don't have much time, or just want something easy to read this is a quite good choice as it still has some of the touching elements which are usually only in more challenging books, but if you want a story about cancer there are probably some better ones out there 3/5 Next up is Steig Larsoon's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Yes that's it. Is less religious than that one, and less odd but fairly similar

Prsonally I prefered this one, it kind of reminded me of My Sister's Keeper, and a bit of oh I can't remember the name er something Faith...I shoud go to bed if I can't remember that

Yes, I loved My Sister's Keeper too. But I agree about the end, it was a cop out

good, I just have the feeling I missed something
