I did not manage to watch the christmas special, and as my ondemand is not working, I will have to wait until the technician comes out, but I heard who won and the scores and does seem to be a oretty high scoring show, considering the year before. Look forward to watching it.

Hi there! It is an awesome place to meet fellow minded Bookworms, yet getting down your TBR mount? Nah, I don't think so. You willl find recommendations on every post, and I have read books that I never dreamed of reading before. I am sure you will have a great time here, I hope to see you around. I am not a Chick-lit fan but I am sure our love of books will cross past at some point. Take care CW!

I got a lovely Celtic one from my aunt for Christmas it is so pretty and is made of silver.

Book #28: Moon Called by Patricia Briggs 'I didn't realize he was a werewolf at first. My nose isn't at its best when surrounded by axle grease and burnt oil ...' Mercedes Thompson runs a garage in the Tri-Cities. She's a mechanic, and a damn good one, who spends her spare time karate training and tinkering with a VW bus that happens to belong to a vampire. Her next-door neighbour is an alpha werewolf - literally, the leader of the pack. And Mercy herself is a shapeshifter, sister to coyotes. As such, she's tolerated by the 'wolves but definitely down the pecking order. As long as she keeps her eyes down and remembers her place, the pack will leave her in peace. Hardly a normal situation, but then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself...and her connection to the world of things that go bump in the night is about to get her into a whole lot of trouble. Ok I randomly found this at my loca library and was not sure what to expect as the blurb on the back was pretty fague, not sure why to be honest it would not have given much of the plot away, but I will try and do my own DIY blurb: Moon Called introduces Mercy, a female mechanic who can shape-shift into Coyote form.When a teenage boy walks into Mercy's garage asking for a job, she realises he is a werewolf. Mercy soon regrets her decision to employ the youth, as the local lycanthrope pack are riled when their alpha male is attacked. Ok many twists and turns and I found Mercy to be a fantastic lead character, I warmed to her instantly. ok so alot of the princable and 'theories' of werewolves were not very different, I found the plot to be different to what I had read previously, even though I am a newbie to the fantasy genre. There are MANY charactors in the book, so I got a little confused with and I had to go back inthe book to check who they were, but that for me did not amke me looks any of the empathy of any o the main charactors. There are vampires, witches and of coursde warewolves. If you do care for the main charactors the ending will make you want to read the end of the series. But all in all a readlyy good book, which I found personally better than Bitten. Pros: A quick read, which lays the introductions to many charactors, with many twists and turns; good for YA, as there hardly any romance, and NO sex scenes, also no swearing, maybe one curse word. Cons- The whole werewolf thing was not that much different to others in the genre, with no different theories on wolves. There were many charactors in the books, some I totally forgot about and had to go back in the book to remind myself who they were again. 8/10

I have this on my Library to be read beside my bed, so I hope I kind of like it... eeek.

I will write my review now especailly for you. hehe. Done no reading today, but planning a huuuge reading fest tonight.

Ok so I finally finished Moon Called by Patricia Briggs, will write my review tomorrow. I have just started The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, I can't wait, promising start already.

I have done no reading today as I have been a professional Lego builder today, but I did recieve some books; 1* Dan Brown- the Lost Symbol 2*Secret Societies (revelations about the freemasons, Templars, illuminati and the Serpent Cults. 3*Birdman - Mo Hayder. So I am really happy about that! On Boxing day I go to my aunts where I basically have a day off and they entertain the kids and I get cooked for. We also have sacks of presents there, and I have been hinted to that there maybe another book for me.. Whoooo hooooo!!! Hope you all had a great Christmas!!

Now I must be the only person on here who was not that impressed with it. It was Ok but I have read better, the book I am reading now, is I feel A LOT better. Charm said that the next book (Which I have just obtained from my library) is a lot better, so hopefully I will get into the series.

Just finished watching Muppets Christmas Carol with the boys

Ooooh, looking forward to your review of Bitten. I read it a little while ago, and was not as impressed as I thought I would be.

Look forward to reading your review Peacefield. I am 99.9% sure someone has got this for me for Xmas so I hope it is good. As for that Ghosthunters book, that sounds AWESOME! I love the show, please please please let me know what the book is like, I would be really interested in purchasing it if it is good. *Goes ands watches the show OnDemand* As for my reading activity... Well I have read 5 pages! Whoopie . I have wrapped books for my boys if that counts. My youngest is a huuuuge fan of the book The Gruffallo. I have read it to him every night since he was 2. I do all the voices and it really makes him laugh. I found a limited edition one in the local bookshop (A last minute buy). I also got my oldest son a book from the TV show Merlin. It is the only one I have found, it is a soft paperback copy for 'younger readers' and has comic style pictures and the font is a lot larger, perfect for my dyslexic son. I think I have overloaded them with books this year, especially my oldest with loads of books about history and knights. If I am not able to come on here again... I want to wish you all A very Merry Christmas now.. thank you for being my friends in 2009, and I look forward to meeting more of you in 2010!

Don't you just hate it when your TBR pile seems to grow!!

I had quite a few actually, more because alot of my family do not going into the city much so I had to give them more of a best seller release. For other people I had more varied books. 1* The Girl who kicked the Hornets nest. 2* I am a scrooge - A zombie story for Christmas. 3* The lost symbol - Dan brown 4* Hush Hush - Becca fitzpatrick. I am sure there are others that I worte down for people.

The Historian is my next read Mexicola so I look forward to hearing what you think.
