First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond... then came the 'suicide' that was murder... the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat... a suspicious death in a locked gun-room... a million dollar bond robbery... the curse of a pharoah's tomb... a jewel robbery by the sea... the abduction of a Prime Minister... the disappearance of a banker... a phone call from a dying man... and, finally, the mystery of the missing will. What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!
I found this quite bitty - but then it was a collection of short stories. All the cases were interesting, varied and detailed. I give it 6/10 - I prefer the longer cases.

Yep
Reading TV Choice this week looks sad:cry2:
-
Have they ever really had a teenage mum in Neighbours?
Sky a few years back but she and Kerry left.
-
I really can't see Bridget and Declan as parents but I guess anything can happen in a soap...
-
I prefer paperbacks because, although hardbacks look nice on the shelf and come out sooner, paperbacks are cheaper and easier to carry around.

His descriptions although sometimes long winded give a really good picture of the era and countryside. Only small plot events happen as you get started but it gets better and more interesting, so persevere with it

Well, I have to read it for my English Lit. coursework and I haven't read it before so reading it and analysing it at the same time is annoying and a bit hard going. I'm finding there is not much going on at the moment but the language Hardy uses is lovely.

I really loved the Noughts and Crosses series, but I felt that the last one was slightly detached from the others. The rest were great though and tackle some serious issues that are relevant to today.

I saw the new Libby today and didn't like her.
I didn't like her either. I hope she doesn't have too many big story lines while Kym Valentine is off, it would be weird, especially with Dan!

I've seen The Forgotten Garden floating about - I keep meaning to see what it's about!
Great lists you've got, some really good titles
Thanks! I can't wait to read the Forgotten Garden. I read Kate Morton's The House at Riverton and loved it.
I hope you enjoy The Time Traveller's Wife, it's a great read!
I'm hoping to read it soon. I've read so much about it on here and it sounds really good.

The Lovely Bones disturbed me so much that I stopped reading it after about three chapters and removed it from my home! Horrible horrible horrible.
Ditto but I did finish it - it stayed in my mind for a long time afterwards though.
-
I play acoustic and electric guitar, pretty well if I may say so myself.
Neat. My Dad plays acoustic - but not brilliantly!
-
Our bass player was a music teacher. Enjoyed every minute of it Cadenza.
I loved it too. It was just the variety of the job and playing African drums with 8 year olds was awesome!
-
I haven't really done much that exciting yet but I attend the local music center regularly, did work experience there (now thinking about becoming a music teacher!) and in march i'm taking part in the regional round of a national music festival.
What sort of bands did you play in?
-
I play guitar, keyboards and have started to learn to play the tenor sax but all I can play on it at the moment is a really naff version of Blue moon
I play alto sax but I do have a friend who plays Tenor and I love the sound of it. I'd also love to be able to play the guitar.
-
Lol I can just picture that now!
-
What instruments do you play Cadenza?
Mainly Flute, Saxophone and Piano but I also play Piccolo and Recorder.
Do you play any Mick?
-
It's ok. Did you used to watch it or do you still?

At primary school we used to dress up on the day and get the voucher. Now I don't usually do anything but i'd join in any event on here as they are all really good ideas.

I'm a Ringo and Ty fan, although Ringo can be annoying but him and Donna are sweet.
Do you think Bridget should keep or lose
the baby
? (Spoiler incase people haven't seen recent episodes.)

A book of the history of the Earth with 10,000 years on each page would be 145 miles long and take about 17,000 years to read at 1 minute per page!
The things I learn in Biology...
But on my bookshelf a book about London which is just under 1000 I think.

I read the first one recently and really enjoyed it. It is a nice light read, slightly predictable and Becky gets annoying but it also has some funny moments. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.
