      Ian -

      I also bought the book,and will be watching to see what yo think of it . It didn't sound like the normal type book I read ,but I'm always a sucker for a book if it says it has won any type award, bestseller list, etc .

      I picked this up knowing nothing about it. If I'd have known there were vampires involved I probably wouldn't have bothered. Oh no not another vampire book! But this is great - reminds me of The Stand by Stephen King. 300 pages in and going great guns now!

      I read The Passage a year ago, and while details have faded, and I'll need a reread before the sequel comes out next year, I can safely say I throughly enjoyed it! And, I'm not a fan, usually, of vampire novels.

      He's tried to justify using the word "mong" to describe someone as a bit stupid.

      I know the feeling, so much catching up to do, made my head spin for days.

  12. Had to share this - they are making an Odd Thomas film! Squealed like a little girl when I found out, which is a bit embarrassing in a 41yo!

    1. Raven

      Raven

      Why stop at Mondays? Can we get rid on Tuesday through Friday as well?

  14. just banged my head on my desk in frustration. Now I'm getting funny looks off everyone else in the office and I have a red mark on my forehead!

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      A mark created like that is known as a moron mark in our family as you only hurt yourself! May serenity and calm fill your afternoon. :)

  19. is listening to the radio on the TV, watching the TV on the internet, surfing the internet on the phone. Just tried to make a phone call on the kettle! No wonder I'm confused!

      I'm with Raven on this one; obviously a disappointment but look at the positives.

    3. ian

      ian

      You're quite right, of course. If someone had said at the start 4 out of 5 wins, I'd have bitten their hand off!

  21. Reading Mojo on the wane - struggling with Gerald Seymour!

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Don't let go of that mojo! Maybe a different read for the time being? :)

      I don't what happened. I'm halfway through and something just clicked. Back on track now!

  22. is about halfway through "Northanger Abbey" now. Is John Thorpe the biggest a**e in literature? What a git!

  23. My wife has got me Steig Larsson's Trilogy for me for Christmas. Yippee!

    1. I'mRose

      I'mRose

      Brilliant books, I'm sure you will love them!

  24. Went up into the in-law's loft to fetch a bedside lamp for them, and came back with 3 shopping bags full of books! Happy Days!

    1. Maureen
