I love HAED site Kell, I used to do tags with paid artist tubes and most of them are on that site including the one you are doing. I really love that one. I have finally finished my wedding stationery project and have delivered it already before I realised I didn't take any pictures of them. But now I can get cracking with my Sleeping Bunnies again.

Lexie, I just leave the hoop on and do that section and then take it off and do all in that section. Hope that makes sense.

You are not alone there frankie, I do this all the time. I borrow about 4-6 in one go and have 3 weeks to read and return them. That is on top of the bookring books I have and of course everything on my shelf. When I return the books I keep saying to myself "just drop the books on the librarians desk and go". That never happens, I just can't help myself looking around. I even attempted leaving my library card behind so that I can't borrow when I am returning books. But I have learnt that just giving your name and address is just fine. I used to buy all my books new but the library and charity shops are my saving grace since my husband has been out of work.

Synopsis from Waterstones: Sookie comes to the rescue of a naked, amnesiac vampire - and ends up in the middle of a war between witches, werewolves and vampires! Sookie Stackhouse is a small-town cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's pretty. She does her job well. She keeps to herself - she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie's gift: she can read minds. That's not exactly every man's idea of date bait - unless they're undead - vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that's just the kind of guy Sookie's been looking for. Maybe that's why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn't just drive on by. He hasn't got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he's sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie's help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life. Sookie's investigation into what's going on leads her straight into a dangerous battle between witches, vampires and werewolves. But there could be even greater danger - to Sookie's heart, because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist. The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night. I have to admit that I am going to find it quite hard to review this book. Although I really do love the Southern Vampire series and TrueBlood, this fourth installment wasn't as exciting as the previous books. I was a little sad at the beginning knowing that Bill would not be making much of an appearance in this book but Eric featured quite a lot in it. I wasn't much of a fan of Eric Northman but I am swaying more towards him now. Towards the end of the book I like the idea of the Supes getting together as allies to But I found myself blinking...then that scene was over. I didn't think that the We are also introduced to other characters and I was left wondering what their relevence was to the storyline. Maybe there is a relevence in later books and this is only a small introduction. Even though this book isn't the best so far, I still enjoyed it and I would love to see more of Eric again. I do like Alcide but to be honest, I was never one for Weres. I just love the vampires. So just Bill and Eric in the book is enough to make me enjoy it. Even though I enjoyed it, the reason I gave this book is a 3.5/5 is that I know that the books can be must better than this one. And of course because of that one scene at the end. Rating: 3.5/5

Kate, Johnny is looking really great. Well done...I can't wait to see the finished project. Well, my cross stitch project is on hold and I am itching to finish it but I have no choice. I am afraid the wedding stationery is a priority this month.

I finished Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris today and I am now 60 pages into Dead as a Doornail.

Great idea, I just hate it when I am in a library trying to figure out if the book is the next in the series that I need to read. I suppose I could pop onto their computers to double check but the computers are always occupied.

I had mince, peas and onion puff pastry pie with garlic and chilli cube roast potatoes kindly cooked and ready for me coming home from work by my hubby.

I finished Indelible by Karin Slaughter last night and read 1 page of The Lost Book of Salem by Katherine Howe but decided to go with Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris instead. I am now 60 pages into the book.

Frankie, I thought the same thing. I went to the library today to pick up Faithless and in the front of the book it had the order. Indelible came after Faithless and I thought I read them the wrong way round. Then I went onto Fantastic Fiction website and it confirmed that Faithless was number five. I did my review after that so I think that's were my confusion came from in my review. Thanks for pointing that out hun.

Thanks Janet, I can't wait to read it but I have to get through my priority list first.

Synopsis: When medical examiner Sara Linton and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver take a trip away from the small town of Heartsdale - an escape from all the pressures which complicate their relationship - it should be a straightforward weekend at the beach. But they decide to take a detour via Jeffrey's hometown and things go violently wrong when Jeffrey's best friend Robert shoots dead an intruder who breaks into his house. Jeffrey and Sara are first on the scene and Jeffrey's keen to clear his friend's name, but for Sara things aren't so simple. The sear marks around the bullet-hole don't tally with Robert's story. Robert's wife, Jessie, is incoherent and confused. And when Jeffrey appears to change the crime scene, Sara no longer knows who to trust. Twelve years later, Sara and Jeffrey are caught up in a shockingly brutal attack which threatens to destroy both their lives. But they're not random victims. They've been targeted. And it seems the past is catching up with both of them... This is the fourth book in the Grant County series and this time Slaughter takes us back to the beginning of Sara and Jeffrey’s relationship. Sara and Jeffrey are off to the beach and along the way they stop off at Sylacauga, Jeffrey’s hometown. As usual disaster strikes during their visit, one of Jeffrey’s friends shoots dead an intruder and secrets start to unravel. Years later, Sara and Jeffrey are targeted in a horrific attack. I can honestly say that Indelible is my favourite Slaughter book so far. I loved going back to the past and reading about the younger, feisty Jeffrey. At the beginning of the book Sara and Jeffrey are targeted in a horrible, vicious attack. The book then takes you back to the past and that is how the book is lead out, jumping from the past to the present. Indelible was a book that I could not put down, it had a big impact on me. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and even dreamt that I was reading the book. I just know that when I have read all the Grant County series that it will leave a gaping hole, just like Twilight did. And not very many books do that to me. There were quite of few gasps and ahs, when Slaughter starts unfolding all the secrets, piece by piece. Again, I thought I had it all in the bag only to be proven wrong once again. This is what I love about her stories, you think that the result is predictable and it certainly is not. I just love the way she involves the story from the first book of the series to this one and I know she will continue to do this in future books. The only thing about these books that the endings come around really fast and there are times I have turned the page to find there is no more pages left. An amazing read. Rating: 5/5

Smoked bacon toasty.

Definitely read her books, she was introduced to me by catwoman and I heard a lot of them raving about her on here. So I got the first book in the Grant County series to see what all the fuss was about and I couldn't put it down. They are great.

Synopsis: Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim... A Faint Cold Fear is the third book in the Grant County series and Sara, Jeffrey and Lena find themselves investigating suicides on the local college. I was really keen to read this book after reading the first chapter at the end of Kisscut as the excitement starts from the beginning. Then when I got the actual book to read I felt I was struggling a little bit but that could have just been my mojo. It was up and down in the first half and then I really began to enjoy it. It wasn't the constant the page turner like Blindsighted but the storyline had me intrigued. I really love the relationship development with Sara and Jeffrey. Well, what can I say about Jeffrey in general? I really just love this character and find him very sexy for a fictional character...sad eh? Then there is Lena, the complicated character. I have to admit that Lena's story sort of bores me a little and sometimes I would love to shake the girl but I did find myself wanting to read more of her part in this book. This is a great book and again Slaughter keeps us guessing with her twists and turns of the storyline. What I really love about Slaughter's writing is that even though you think you have the ending in the bag....it never really happens that way. Great read. Rating: 5/5

I have now finished A Faint Cold Fear by Karin Slaughter and now about 120 pages into Indelible by the same author.

That is fab Kate. I have put my Sleeping Bunnies away until I get my wedding stationery project out of the way. Can't wait to get back into it but my deadline for the stationery is the end of March.

I love both of them.

Glad you are liking it...it such a lovely read. x

Synopsis from Waterstones: There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where the Crimean war still rages, dodos are regenerated in home-cloning kits and everyone is deeply disappointed by the ending of 'Jane Eyre'. In this world there are no jet-liners or computers, but there are policemen who can travel across time, a Welsh republic, a great interest in all things literary - and a woman called Thursday Next. In this utterly original and wonderfully funny first novel, Fforde has created a fiesty, loveable heroine and a plot of such richness and ingenuity that it will take your breath away. Literature Detective for Special Operations Network, Thursday Next takes us on an adventure in capturing the third most wanted villian, Acheron Hades before he destroys the famous classic, Jane Erye. It is a strange plot and in a totally different 1985, a world were literature is their being. The Crimean war never ended and there is dodos of all versions. At the beginning I thought I was going to stuggle reading this book but I was so wrong. I disappeared inside this book. I can't say more. Enjoyable, funny and now I am definitely going to be putting Jane Eyre on my TBR list. Rating: 5/5

Received all my Green Met books today. And I think I forgot to mention I got 5 books from the charity shop about a week ago. All 5 were for

I will be reading more of his books definitely.

Finished The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde and have to admit I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I have already started A Faint Cold Fear by Karin Slaughter. I think I am about 50 pages in so going to finish that.

I got another section done of my birth sampler. I just have one more bunny to do at the top left hand corner, a few butterflies and the babies name. [/url]
