  1. Oooooh I think I may have seen an episode of this the other day. A girl who loved pink and wore two pairs of fake eyelashes as standard daywear received a make-under by Pod? Does that sound like Snog, Marry, Avoid?

     

    I'm looking forward to A Taste of True Blood tonight at Midnight. A 30 minute interview with Alan Ball about Season 2 :D

     

    Oh yes that's the one! The amount of make up some of the people wear would keep the Notting Hill Carnival going for a couple of years!

  2. Yeah i would find it annoying and unnerving if a stranger came up to me and told me to cheer up, it might never happen. Unnerving because i would be thinking "why are you studying my expression so closely??".

     

    Another thing that really really annoys me is people being really loud in the cinema and banging your seat when they sit behind you, and then continue to talk really loud throughout the film. Thats why we tend to avoid sitting in front of a group of kids at a film. Shut up! :D

     

    I dont mean to come across as a 80 year old misery guts but surely im not the only one annoyed by this.

     

    I agree, I remember going to see a Harry Potter film a couple of years ago and a boy was sat behind me and I could hear him saying 'This is what happens next... blah, blah, blah' annoying! I try to go to the over 18 showings of films as much as possible now!

     

    Also, who walks around with a smile on their face all the time? What's wrong with them!

  3. I've read Five People you Meet in Heaven and really enjoyed it. I had in my TBR pile for ages and for some reason it didn't seem to jump out at me! Glad I eventually got around to reading it though.

     

    His next book 'For One More Day' was just as good too actually so maybe give that a read and let me know what you think of it...

  4. I'm a fan of both to be honest. I've read them all and I think I was just as hooked after reading Twilight and the Philosophers Stone.

     

    I think I was quite lucky that I started reading them, found out I quite liked them and was able to get the next book straight away without having to wait ages until the next one was published!

  5. I'm reading the book at the moment ;) Will probably end up watching the film sometime too.

     

    The last DVD I watched was The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Good movie :censored:

     

    I might have to read the book now! I never realised it was actually based on a book until I read it on here.

     

    Good film though, bit strange given the subject and almost funny in some parts but good film all the same.

  6. I've actually seen all the films but for some reason haven't actually read any of the books - not sure I'd be able to stomach them!

     

    I still get haunted just by thinking of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs!

     

    I was watching South Park the other night and Cartman was playing a game called 'Lambs' which is basically him doing the whole 'it puts the lotion on it's skin........ impression - it made me laugh and I doubt I'll be able to watch this bit in the the film again without laughing!

     

    Might give the books a go actually!

  7. Mine was actually 'Let the Right One it' and I actually watched it last night.

    I thought it was really good - not sure why I took so long to watch it!

     

    Looking forward to the final Harry Potter films and the Twilight films. It'll be interesting to see how they do 'Breaking Dawn'

  8. I read the book about 4 years ago and thought it was brilliant! It had me hooked from the first page.

     

    This was the first of Harlen Coben's books that I read and I've since read a lot of them.

     

    I saw the film last year and it's really good - they've changed quite a bit though. It's set in France for starters with French actors. Kristen Scott Thomas is in it though and speaks French the entire film. Make sure you don't mind subtitles before you start watching it!

  9. There is no reserve fee at all in my Library, I'm suprised to read that so many have to pay.

     

    I would have added this to my other post but it wont let me edit it for some reason.

     

    I've discussed this on other threads and I think I'm in the minority of not having to pay for reserved books!

     

    Bit of relief as I'm always online finding books to read!

  10. Nice to see Melisa that you are a Gerristen fan my favourite is Harvest what about you....have you read any Mo Hayder?

     

    I actually really liked 'Vanish' although it was quite sad - I think I actually had a tear in my eye as I was reading!

     

    I also really liked The Surgeon and it's sequels. I actually got it free with a magazine and that's how I was introduced to her books.

     

    I've got The Bone Garden to read along with Keeping the Dead!

     

    Not read any Mo Hayder actually - any recommendations?

  11. oo just checked i do have life support,:readingtwo: also read another nicci french called beneath the skin which was a very good read, just have to say i tried jilliane hoffman and only read retribution and sad to say had no urge to carry on even though i had the sequel 'last witness' ready to read straight away, luckily i borrowed them i didnt buy them. Anyone else have similar experiences with similar authors to Tess?

     

    I tried a Jilliane Hoffman book as someone had left it behind on holiday and I quite enjoyed it! However the sequel to it was terrible!
