Hello, I read this a little while ago and really enjoyed it

I absolutely love this book. The film version is awful though, I felt that it ripped the heart and soul out of the book, just my opinion though

Hello and welcome:)

No I really detest them, plus there is no Han Solo in them:cry2:

I have lots but the ones in my top ten are, Taxi Driver, Lost in Translation, Truly Madly Deeply, Star Wars episodes, 4 -6 and Blade Runner

I have Hokkaido Highway Blueson order from the library and I am very much looking forward to reading it, thank you

oooh I have this on my to be read list I would have to think carefully about this but for now The Time Travellers Wife, Audrey Niffenegger Two Caravans, Marina Lewycka The Beach, Alex Garland I will have to think about the others

Ooooh you will really enjoy the book, I am going next week to see it:)

I chose chick lit but I do love crime novels too

The Time Travellers wife

I have not read any of the books but will do at some point

I really hope that you get the award Linda, have my fingers crossed

Homemade shepherds pie, yum yum

Synopsis I-SPY AT THE SEASIDE Hello, children! Welcome to your very own I-Spy Book. In these pages you'll be able to look for all kinds of secret, exciting things that are found only by the sea. Blackpool, 1959. The Singleton family is on holiday. For seven-year-old Beth, just out of hospital, this means struggling to fill in her 'I-Spy' book and avoiding her mother Ruth's eagle-eyed supervision. Her sixteen-year-old sister Helen, meanwhile, has befriended a waitress whose fun-loving ways hint at a life beyond Ruth's strict rules. But times are changing. As foreman of the local cotton mill, Ruth's husband Jack is caught between unions and owners whose cost-cutting measures threaten an entire way of life. And his job isn't the only thing at risk. When a letter arrives from Crete, a secret re-emerges from the rubble of Jack's wartime past that could destroy his marriage. As Helen is tempted outside the safe confines of her mother's stern edicts, with dramatic consequences, an unexpected encounter inspires Beth to forge her own path.Over the holiday week, all four Singletons must struggle to find their place in a shifting world of promenade amusements, illicit sex and stilted afternoon teas, in this touching and extraordinarily evocative novel. I was really looking forward to reading this book and I found that i was not disapointed. I really enjoyed the characters of Helen and Pat and i eventually warmed to Ruth. I think that this is a book that ill become better with each reading so will be reading it again in the near future 7/10

The books in our house are shelved in no particular order. We have several bookcases/shelves dotted around the house and most of Andrew's books are upstairs while mine are downstairs.I tend to keep all the books on my to be read list together

For me it has to be The Time Travellers Wife, a beautiful and modern love story.
