  4. Blimey! Were you reading other books inbetween? what did you think of it?
  5. I adore this book and is one of my favourite books of all time. I feel every emotion, and I remember still finding it hard to stop thinking about it for weeks after. It's a definate re-read for me soon. As for me. I read more of Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. It's going Ok. Becuase of the short chapters I'm able to sneak a quickie in while having a coffee, perfect for a Mummy during Christmas Week. I also have an EBook that I am reading on my iPod Touch. I do struggle to read on such a small screen but the book is starting to be quite good. It's called Soul Protector (I can't remember the authors name at the moment.

  10. Ok so 2011 I didn't do any reviews. I was so bad last year. I barely read any books in the first half of the year. But my mojo has picked up. This year I will also be going away on some big holidays which will involve some rather long flights. Back to what I didn in 2010. Hopefully this will give me even more time to read and hopefully givde me more insentive to keep my book lists going. I am also determined to get myself a kindle this year in time for the holidays. I have decided to set myself a higher reading challenge this year. 50 BOOKS!!!! I know for some people this isn't alot for some but for me this is a lot. Included in this I want to get back into reading Non-fiction again. I barely read any this year (2011) so I want to change this. I have some City guide books in this so that will help. My challange is to READ 10 NON FICTION BOOKS Also want to get back into completing my LOST book club challenge. I only read a couple last year. So that is a little mini challange for me.MY challange is 10 LOST BOOK CLUB BOOKS Wanna try and get back into reading graphic Novels/ Comics again. so hopefully I can read 5. Also I am going to Florida with my kids in August and while we are there we are going to The wizarding world of Harry Potter. I started reading the books last in 2011 and I have read up to book five. I am starting to love them now, but I must make sure I finish them before Florida or my kids will kill me!!
  11. My word I have not been on here in ages. So busy. But I have read loads of books since the last time I was on here. Because of my blog I have had the oppotunity to read so many awesome books. Including death Sentance and Contest. But right now I am reading Dann Brown's digital Fortress. I was reading it on the train this morning and it kept my attention well even though the passenger next to me said that it was pretty bad. I'm only 100 pages through but I have a feeling that this will be a quick rad. However bad it is. I grabbed some fantastic books while I was away. But I was talking to my friend and she has made me want to start reading The Girl who kicked the hornets nest ASAP. I have held out for so long as I didn't want the series to end. But it will be sent soon.
  12. I only have 100 pages to read of this.. I think it's a real easy book to read. I knew a little of the case before reading. I'm not sure if that is a blessing or not. Like a said though a rather easy read.
  13. Busy is not the word for it. But I have been reading a few books. I don't have time to put them up here right now but they are on my blog. I've read the new Karin Slaughter and I was pretty disspaointed. Read the book Twelve by Jasper Kent. ot as good as I had hoped. Reading Crippen by the guy who wrote the boy with the stripedPajamas. This is going really well and reading for the Transworld book club.
  14. I have been so busy that I havenot been on here for ages *Wipes away the spider webs* I have read a few books latey. One I would recommend is The colour of Death. I really good book. Also I have finally read the first three books of Potter. Didn't really like the first two but fell in love with potter after reading the third. Fourth will be read soon. At the moment I am reading FALLEN BY KARIN SLAUGHTER. Most people on here know my love for Slaughter. I am struggling a little with the book. It's good but I am not into the actual crime itself. I hope it will pick up real soon. I am around half way through.
  15. I also with the transworld Book Group. I read and reviewed my first book. The Colour of death and I loved it. I recieved my second one in the post today. Twelve by Jasper Kent. I have wanted to read this for a while. Can't wait to start reading.
  16. I manage a few chapters of THE BLADE ITSELF. Which has led me to be around half way through the book, and I am now about to start Part Two. Horrah! I realised that I have my library book club on Thursday and I haven't read the book. Whoops.
  17. I love the sound of that!! I should have done that in Glasgow, yet I couldn't have bought any books as it wouldn't have fit in my hand luggage. *Shakes fist at airline!* I read.. Get this... a whooping 10 pages yesterday! Oh yes. I really do like THE BLADE ITSELF but Every time I settle down the kids want me to do something, or I have feel guilty reading as I have 101 jobs to be doing or I am just plain tired.
  18. I don't think I have been this annoyed/ upset/ dissapointed in someone in ages! I will not forget... Grrrrrr. *Goes and TRIES and reads*

  19. CRIKEY!!! I really fell behind on reading threads on here! WHOOOOOOO for the SLAUGHTER BOOK. I'm waiting for FALLEN. I'm hoping this is why my mojo has disspear it is waiting for the two days of sitting and reading constantly. It's the first thing I will buy on Payday! I am so glad you are loving the LOTR series. Very Jealous. My friend took a picture of the Throne in Waterstones. I've heard good and bad reviews of this book. My Library book club hated it. I have not read it. I normally have the same taste in books mate. Do you think I would like? When I don't know what to read and I have no library books I get my kids to pick for me. As for me. Urgh, the non existant mojo is starting to affect me now I think I need nothing more than an good reading session. But I can't seem to get into anything I'm around 200 pages in The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. It's a great book but I just haven't got any concentration
  20. reading the post on BCF is making me depresed hat my MOjo has gone!

  21. Mojo gone. I don't know what to do.
  22. Does your friend mean The Ghost by Robert Harris. Personally it was my worst book that I read last year. The film had Pierce Bronson and I think Ewan McGregor and that was about ghost writer working for the Prime Minister. To Kill a Mockingbird is in my top five fav books of all time.,.. Enjoy. Whoop... LOrd ot he rings. Another Ringer in the making I hope! As for me still no time to read.. I have just come back from library book club and got given the book. Yann Martel - Beatrice and Virgil. Quite a few groans from the club who had read Life of Pi. I haven't but I am a little worried. I still have Bone song left half way through. Just can't get passed one page of it.
  23. Yep it's the Hardback! D'oh. To be honest. Now no Laughing Charm. I was reading it while walking back to the car, and because I was engrossed I banged into a lampost.!!!! I SAID NO LAUGHING CHARM!!!!!! . So I don't think I will be able to wait till scotland! Lol. As for the doubles I gave them to the Boys Brigade and said they can resell them at the next fate. Me not looking up a kilt. Pfft. Why do you think I'm going!!???!!!! Steph willbe worse then me though. The little Minx!!!! I have The Great Gatsby on my wishlist as it is on the LOST book list. One of my library book club friends readi ti and said that it was one to re-read to full appreciate it. As for m
  24. Yay!! Fantastic! I'm looking forward to re-reading him again. As for me. Hmm. Well I haven't had the time for a mojo. I have only managed 20 pages of The Bone Song. It is isn't gripping me. Yet there are nothing but good reviews. Maybe becuase I don't have a mojo I'm not wanted to get into it? I don't know. But I went to m,y kids' Boy Brigade fate and they had a huuuge book stall and I came back with so many books. Some I realised I hve already.whoops. SHUTTER ISLAND - DENNIS LEHANE ( I have heard so many reviews about this book and sounds right up my street. THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH - SIMON BECKETT THE REDBREAST - JO NESBO THE UPRISING - SCOTT G MARIANI (vampire blade style) CONIN IGGULDEN - THE LORDS OF BOW CONN IGGULDEN - WOLF OF THE PLAINS EMPIRE ARROWS OF FURY - ANTHONY RICHES I think I have gained other books since last being on here but I can't remember which ones! Also @ CHARM....... The Discovery of witches is available to be picked up today at my library!!! Whoop. Is it a big book? As I want a fairly small book t take away to Scotland.
  25. Glad you liked it. I'm over a 150 Pages through Bone Song. Going well. Also reading a guide to Glasgow book.
