Rosalind

started if you could see me now by Cecelia Ahern this morning, only a couple of chapters in it now don't have an opinion yet

I cried two times, well because I watched it twice. The second time I thought I'm not going to cry because I lasted longer withouth shedding a tear but then it all started and it just didn't stop. I'm really going to miss David as the Doctor. Not going to stop watching it though, want to see if Matt will be good, but since I'm expecting the writing to be good he has to do a damn bad job for me to stop watching. When the regenerating started I told my mum (second viewing, first she didn't watch the episode with me) that she was going to see the new Doctor and first thing she said after regeneration was completed was "Oh my God, he's ugly". So I'm not sure if she'll even continue watching with me

I finished One night with a goddess on thursday then started in Making over mr Right on Christmas, which I finished yesterday morning. This morning I started in Just a taste by Deirdre Martin, almost at the end of the NY Blades series ...

CORRECT!!! Your turn

new quote: Would you look at that body language? Legs crossed towards each other. That is an unequivocal sex invite.

Jeepers Creepers??

I finished reading Sushi for beginners by Marian Keyes yesterday afternoon. I really liked it after struggling through the first 100 pages it was a great book. This morning I started One night with a goddess by Judi McCoy. Second one in the muses/goddesses collection and looking forward to reading this

I finished Marked on Friday evening. I really liked it, although the real good parts happen in the second half, typical start to a series book. On Saturday I started Sushi for beginners by Marian Keyes, only 1/5th far so can't really say yet if I like it yet

I'll let you know what I think about it, i'm going slow in reading at the moment, been tired a lot but am almost 1/3rd far now and up to now I'm liking it, but anxious to read further

I finished Dogs and Goddesses last night and this morning I started Marked by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast I've been really bad, I said I wouldn't buy new books until I finished most of the books that were still in my TBR pile, but I just couldn't resist

I finished Succubus Nights by Richelle Mead last night, this morning I started reading Dogs and Goddesses by Jennifer Crusie, Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich.

I finished The art of Destruction in the new doctor who adventures series (book 11). This morning I started Succubus Nights by Richelle Mead. Having high hopes for this one since I really liked the precious one

You could always tape it on your VCR and watch later on the day

Don't forget Dreamland the animated episode - BBC2 DEC5th 10AM

Did anyone shed a tear? I loved the special effects it was really high-speed and I loved the fight scene at the Volturi great effects. Of course, book was better I missed some parts but hey they can't put all details in

I just finsihed Passion by Louise Bagshawe yesterday evening, been reading it for a whole week. This morning I started The Art of Destruction by Stephen Cole, this is the 11th book in the NEW DOCTOR WHO novelisation series.

Blurb: Lynsay Sands - The Chase It wasn't her first choice, for Seonaid Dunbar had, like her brother, been trained as a Scottish warrior at her father's knee; but fleeing to an abbey was clearly preferable to whacking on Blake Sherwell with her sword -- which she'd happily do before wedding the man. No, she'd not walk weakly to the slaughter, dutifully pledge troth to anyone the English court called "Angel." Fair hair and eyes as blue as the heavens hardly proved a man's worth. There was no such thing as an English angel; only English devils. And there were many ways to elude a devilish suitor, even one that King Henry ordered her to wed. No, the next Countess of Sherwell was not sitting at home in her castle as Blake thought: embroidering, peacefully waiting for him to arrive. She was fleeing to a new stronghold and readying her defenses. Swords and sleeping drafts, Claymores and kisses. This battle would require all weapons--if he ever caught her. And the Chase was about to begin. My Opinion I am weak, I repeat I am weak. I should really spread the highlander books more but it’s really hard to resist a man from the highlands in that lovely kilt and a broadsword. Ok, in this one which is the 3rd one in the man is English not Scottish but he donned his (future) father-in-law’s kilt to travel to his betrothed. So still men in kilts, and me still weak kneed reading. Lovely book, sigh… Grade:8/10

Blurb: Lora Leigh - Fyre Brand (18+ from the book Surrender to Fire) She holds the elemental power of fire within her grasp, able to sear, to destroy. But her heart holds the fear of repeating her ancestors’ mistakes. Now, amid a world fighting to rebuild, Carmella must learn that she cannot control the power surging through her fragile body alone. She’ll need help. But can she accept the future her leader Torren has seen, and the touch of a stranger who is more than he seems? My Opinion I had been waiting for a long time before there was a new print of “Surrender”, the other short story in this book, since I read this in E-book format a while back and have all the other books in that series. But it included this short story “Fyre Brand” so I had to read it before I could put the book on my shelves in the read section. The story was not bad, but the curse of the short story was in there, the what and how weren’t worked out and because of that I had a hard time getting into the motives in the story. Not bad in total, very hot even, but in my opinion should be longer and I would have liked it better. Grade:6/10

Blurb: Louise Bagshawe – Passion A failed marriage between Melissa Elmett and Will Hyde did a lot of damage. She was too young, he was hurt when she left him. Years later, Melissa becomes the target for a kidnap plot, a consequence of her father's ground breaking energy saving invention, and Will is the only man who can protect her. Now they're on the run, thrown together again by the pursuit of vengeance, will their passion for each other reignite? My Opinion I saw somewhere that this book was a cross between chick-lit and bond. After finishing it, I totally agree, some high speed chases and a romance that is impossible to forget. This was a big book(500+) pages and I forgot to check the pages before I started to read (normally I check), so this book took me longer than originally expected to read (a whole week) but it was truly worth it. Grade:8/10

Blurb: Lynsay Sands - The Key Iliana Wildwood would do anything to escape from the depraved baron who sought her lands - including marrying a barbarian. Fleeing the highlands, Iliana was wedded to Duncan, laird to Dunbar Castle. Certainly, there was something about the virile warrior that made her weak in the knees - but something stank in the state of Scotland, and Iliana would not trust anyone until she'd discovered the source. Determined therefore to resist her handsome husband, Iliana found a way to keep her secrets safe. Employing a belt of chastity, the spirited beauty managed to thwart the thane's advances. But then her husband changed his tactics and began a sensual assault that sent her intentions up in smoke. And as the air cleared, Iliana found it had been her heart she had locked away, and that this stubborn Scot had finally found... My Opinion We’re back in Scotland, I just can’t resist highlander books, even better a highlander story by one of my favourite authors. This is a sequel (but not really) on The Deed. I loved the whole interaction between Iliana and her husband Duncan I even had difficulties to not laugh out loud from time to time. Sigh, good book, wish I had a highlander of my own. Grade:7/10

Blurb: Katie Fforde - Life Skills In one fell swoop, Julia Fairfax leaves her career, breaks her engagement, and takes a job as a cook on a floating hotel traveling the waterways of England. Though Julia expects hard work, she figures her new life has to be simpler than her old yuppie lifestyle. What she doesn't realize is that her new boss expects the two of them to handle everything. And she never imagined she'd see Fergus aboard. Since Julia and Fergus were kids, Julia's meddling mother has said Fergus is perfect for Julia - and now he's gone and made himself indispensable. Even so, Julia's life is much simpler - that is, until she pushes her ex-fianc

Blurb: Christine Feehan - Dark Desire The stranger silently summons her from across the continents, across the seas. He whispers of eternal torment, of endless hunger...of dark, dangerous desires. And somehow American surgeon Shea O'Halloran can feel his anguish, sense his haunting aloneness, and she aches to heal him, to heal herself. Drawn to the far Carpathian mountains, Shea finds a ravaged, raging man, a being like no other. And her soul trembles. For in his burning eyes, his icy heart, she recognizes the beloved stranger who's already become part of her. This imperious Carpathian male compels Shea to his side. But is she to be his healer...or his prey? His victim...or his mate? Is he luring her into madness...or will his dark desire make her whole? My Opinion I had a hard time really getting into the story for about the 100 first pages of the story. But persisting to read, made me discover a good story and a love that could survive the years. Many years because we’re talking Carpathians(vampire-like people). Once I was truly in the story I couldn’t put the book down and I had to keep reading chapter after chapter, just because I was so gripped by the story. Grade:7/10

Blurb:Nicola Marsh - Two weeks in the magnate's bed Shipping tycoon Zac McCoy can sense there is a passionate woman behind Lana Walker's shy exterior. While aboard his luxury yacht, he'll tempt her out to play! Lana always looks before she leaps. But the captivating captain has her throwing caution to the wind. The gloves come off, the silk dresses slip on - and the real Lana begins to emerge. He'll have her as his temporary mistress. But as land approaches, he realizes two weeks may not be enough.. My Opinion When reading the title, I assumed to get a sexy story about literally a woman being in the magnate’s bed for 2 weeks. It is not like that, there may be some thoughts about it, but by the end of the book it’s more like a couple of hours/days in the magnate’s bed. I did enjoy the whole work-up to the whole bed thing, but just thought sometimes it was taking too long. Grade:6.5/10

Blurb:Carole Matthews - The Chocolate lover's diet The feisty members of The Chocolate Lovers' Club are back in a mouth-wateringly delicious new novel. Join Lucy Lombard and her fellow chocolate lovers, Autumn, Nadia and Chantal, once again as they exchange gossip and sort out each other's lives in their favorite retreat, Chocolate Heaven My Opinion Being a sequel to a book I truly adored, there wasn’t a lot that Carole Matthews could have done wrong in this book, and she didn’t. It took me about 2 or 3 chapters to get back into the whole chocolate lovers’ thing, but that’s normal since it was a while since I read the first one. I gasped sometimes at plot twists that were in there and the romance, oh the romance, heart warming scenes that made me long for the love that was in the book. Grade:8/10

The film opens here the 18th or the 19th but since I can go during the week I'm going to try to get tickets for Saturday on Wednesday when the presale of filmtickets starts for the following week. Looking forward to seeing how they transformed the book and if the film is good
