    Hey there.

    Hello and Welcome!!
  2. Hello and welcome!!
  3. It's hard to say what with factors like how big is it, how much to I love it and is it part of a series. However I can read anything from 4 to 10 books a month.
  4. Currently the best of Fleetwood Mac
  5. I have read some fantasy but not the ye olde knights of yore kind apart from Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones and I absolutely love both so I will be looking into reading more.
  6. I do feel pressured when I look at an entire 6 foot bookcase of TBR and I am trying to reduce it. At it's worst it was 134 and I've managed to get it down to 113. I have a pact with myself that for every 2 I read I can buy one, I don't always manage it but I'm trying!
  7. Hello and welcome!
  8. I think I will be buying this when it comes out especially if I can get it cheaper on Amazon. I don't know if it's something I would normally read but I'll give it a try because it's Rowling.
  9. I have read the first Hunger Games book and enjoyed it so much I started the second book strait away.
  10. I know I said I was going to wait to get these but OH heard me mention them and got me the first one from Tesco today so I will be starting this soon!
  11. Hello and Welcome!
  12. I would say the best one to get you started would be Mort. I think Pratchett really got into his stride when he wrote this one and I think as a beginner book it would be most likely to get you into the series.
  13. Have now finished Fatherland and really enjoyed it! I will be adding more of his to my wishlist! Have now started on Lord and Ladies by Terry Pratchett as part of my re read.
  14. Nearly finished Fatherland by Robert Harris which I'm really enjoying.
  15. I often write a word...look at it....rewrite it....then ask someone else how to spell it only to be told I was right the first time! I've never heard of the word redact either so for anyone who wants to know- re·dact/riˈdakt/ Verb: Edit (text) for publication. Censor or obscure (part of a text) for legal or security purposes.
  16. I'm really should I/shouldn't I about these books. They sound like something I would enjoy - I'll read Mills & Boon when the mood takes me and they're not exactly high literature. I think I might wait till I can get them from a charity shop though just in case.
  17. Just finished watching the football.

    Hobbies

    Mine are Watching films Crocheting (though I'm not very good!) Going to gigs and getting tickets signed Crosswords and word searches Playing DS games Messing around on the internet
  19. I am going to have to get the ingredients as this has made me fancy this all over again!
  20. I buy most of my books either from second hand shops, Amazon or discount bookshops like The Works. There aren't many independent book shops convenient for me so I can't buy from them. When I go to Waterstones I always come away disappointed because they rarely have the book that I want where as W H Smith usually does. I can read anything from 4-10 books a month so I have to be aware of money constraints so while I appreciate that Amazon and Play are avoiding paying taxes until I get reasonably priced independents in my area I will continue to use them.
  21. I have been reading through all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld in order and read Eric today. I was amazed to find that I have never actually read it before!
