Do poppyshake, there wonderful, though I must admit it did feel weird readin them when Winston had put something on top of the letter like 'Top Secret' or 'Burn after reading' - clearly meant for Clementine's eyes alone!

Its is! I'd definately recommend it - the letters are so warm, and something that I forgot to mention in my review was with what a great sense of humour they are written with - Churchill's wit definately comes through!

Winston and Clementine by Mary Soames (5/5) I challenge you all to read this and not be moved! This may have been the most romantic book I have ever read... seriously. Winston and Clementine is a collection of letters put together by the Churchill’s daughter, Lady Mary Soames. Editing and explaining the letters throughout, Lady Soames allows the reader to peek into the Churchill’s marriage. Even if the marriage wasn’t perfect (show me one that is?), Winston and Clementine were perfect for one another. Love radiants from this book from the letters they swapped as they were courting right the way through to the end when they were so concerned for the others health most of the time. The letters are extraordinary in there ordinariness. They speak about money, health concerns, work and friends. Things everyday married couple do. But of course you also get the insight into the politics of the years they lived through as Churchill sat in the House of Commons for over half a century. My favourite letters were when they were young and awaiting the births of their children as they wrote with such anticipation about the arrival of their next ‘Puppy Kitten’. They were just so gorgeous. This book is made all the better because of its truthfulness; Winston Churchill may have been an genius but you don’t get the impression he was easy to live with which perhaps is why Clementine fell in love with Terrence Phillips on holiday in the thirties. However, when she returned home she returned straight to Winston. For all theirs ups and downs, they never fell out of love with one another. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I just loved it.

I have begun Queen Alexandra's biography - I was missing reading about the Victorian/Edwardian era!

Currently trying to get to the end of Winston and Clementine -I would like to finish this weekend sometime.

Last Voyage of the Valentina by Santa Montefiore (3.75/5) I enjoyed this book a great deal, it was a good read and a lovely bit of chick lit – it was what I needed. Last Voyage tells the story of Alba, the only child Thomas Arbuckle had with first love Valentina during the war, but when Valentina dies and Thomas marries Margo, Alba feels pushed to one side. Her father never speaks of her mother yet Alba feels sure that if she knew more about the Italian beauty who stole her father’s heart then she would find herself too. It is not long till she is off on her quest to find her maternal family, yet she also learns then image she has of her mother is not the entire truth; in some ways it is not the truth at all in fact. It has been a while since I have read a book where a character goes on such a emotional journey and changes as much as Alba did. Thumbs up from me!

9. How did you feel about Tariq's return? I was so happy when he came back that I nearly cried. He was always going to be the hero of the book wasn't he? When he reappeared I knew that he was going to save Laila. There was no way that he was going to leave her - I especially loved the reaction he had to being a father, he just seemed to want to go straight to Aziza then. So sweet I didn't see it coming I must admit - it was the best surprise of the book for me!

I Love that book so much - most definately my favourite HP

I have her diary on my TBR pile - it might have to wait till summer so I can give it my proper attention - I can't wait to read it as I am sure it is going to be fasinating.

I know - I still haven't made it to the cinema though - so annoying, I cant wait to see it but I might have too if I don't it soon!!

I have now begun Fire Study
