Hmmm, this is a tricky one...
-
Hmm, I have this on Mount TBR. Maybe I'll bump it up towards the top. Cheers, fella!
-
But they were ACE, Janet! Like Silas and Heidi!!!
Eeee, I used to have a thing for Heidi. She may even have been my first crush...
On topic, though, Stieg Larsson is officially one of my heroes. What a trilogy. I sincerely hope that they use subtitles instead of dubbing, too. Can you imagine Cinema Paradiso dubbed?!?

Love Rears Its Ugly Head - by Living Colour
Man, this is cool. Not heard it since I did my GCSE's!
-
27 for me. Sigh.
A mere babe in arms, Sir! Hush now.
-
I'm really interested in this period. The book sounds like a good read. Maybe I'll get on it before too long (although you should see my mountainous TBR pile - it's ridiculous!).
Hope you're very well, Jessi.

Ah...so I can now put...

My girlfriend has put on Enchanted. We're at that bit where the main lady is singing about how one knows if he loves you, faffing about Central Park.
Dire. But she loves it.
Sigh.

Of course, I have an unfair advantage, what with being so unbelievably cool anyway, that any book I'm holding has it's sales boosted by 200%....
Ha. Ha. Ha.
*sounds of Mac gasping for oxygen from laughing so hard at the irony.

I'm going into town today, so might well buy this one as well. What a great review, Bethany. Thanks for this.
-
This sounds quite interesting. I love history, so might well look out for this. Thanks, James.

So the whole ‘feeling too guilty’ to buy books did not last long. Santa left me some money under the tree and then I got caught on Amazon and one thing lead to another... I have plenty to read this year now, as if I didn’t already!
Join me! I can't pass a bookshop without popping in and grabbing at least one book in my sweaty paws.
It's sad, really. Nice review, Lady.
-
Ah ha!
-
Like a loofer???
-
And well you should, Lady! It's great!
And can I just say -
THIS IS MY 1,000TH POST!!! Woo-hoo!
:D:) -
I find this, also. It's the only site I chat on. I can't stand any others.

Hola and
-
I'm like Swayze in Roadhouse...
...well, except without the long hair, the good looks, the money or the talent.
-
Wow, no. That sounds great, though. I'll grab this when I shop next weekend. Thanks, Michelle!

I get the cack kicked out of me at Kyoukushin Karate every week. I've been doing it for a few years now. I love doing the Kata's. The grace of them, the discipline, you know?
-
It sounds great, Michelle. I feel similarly to you about the fantasy genre. Also, I have a 'comfort blanket' kind of feeling about the like of le Guin and Susan Cooper, so I may well give this one a go.
Thanks for that.

Breathless by Dean Koontz
This is a story about new life being created from a heaven-like realm beyond our understanding and materialising on Earth to unite the people in love and harmony. I am beginning to think that old Dean's going off the boil a little bit these days, not having turned out a real belter since From the Corner of his Eye and this disappoints me. I feel that, because he bangs 'em out ten to the dozen, he has stopped crafting them so well. Sure, it's easy to read and poetic with characters you quite like (or sort of dislike) but they seem to lack the substance they used to have.
6/10 Not a bad read, but not a brilliant one either.
