I read Moonraker just before Christmas and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
I do prefer the movies though!
My hubby is a big bond fan and has all the dvds, we usually watch them all over again just before a new Bond movie is released. That will be this year again just before Skyfall is released in October.

Welcome to the forum.
I read a mixture of genres but especially enjoy Michael Connolly and Agatha Christie.
I love a good mystery but not so keen on blood, gore and violence.
Have you read Before I go to sleep, S.J. Watson? It is a great debut novel recommended by Richard and Judy. It is also a tv book club choice.

My hubby and I went to see Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol in cinema. Absolutely brilliant!
Movies on t.v. over christmas, where do I start: -
Sleepless in Seattle
City of Angels
You've got mail
Bedknobs and broomsticks
The History of Mr Polly, Lee Evans
Muppets Christmas Carol
Bugsy Malone
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Holiday
It's a wonderful life
Watched Senna on dvd - had already seen this in cinema in June but it is a fantastic movie
I watched other movies but mind has now gone blank, ashamed to say that I hardly picked up a book over christmas. I did leave the sofa before you ask as the dog still needed to be walked! Apart from that the house could have fallen down round me over Christmas and I may not have noticed. When else can you indulge yourself if not at Christmas!

My brother and I had a discussion at Easter about the different books we both read. My brother purely reads Fantasy with the odd Classic thrown in whereas I feel that I cover all the other genres. We each decided to get the other to read a book of our choice. I gave him Small Island, Andrea Levy and he gave me the Farseer Trilogy, Robin Hobb!
My brother only managed to get to page 100 before abandoning my book whereas I am now on book 3 of the trilogy and thoroughly enjoying the challenge he set me!

My sister just bought a book called Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion.

My OH bought me THE LOST SYMBOL, DAN BROWN
I see it has got mixed reports but thought I would add it to my collection. I have read the other four and have them all in paperback which is why I had to wait!

Loved them both!

I read it at school for GCSE so I thought a re-read would be appropriate for its 50th anniversary! It will be interesting to see what I make of it especially reading it as an adult and by choice!
-

Under the Dome, Stephen King
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
The Angel's Game, Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Ellis Island, Kate Kerrigan
Casa Clara, Kate McCabe

Life in Technicolor - Coldplay

If you like crime, you should try Michael Connolly especially the Harry Bosch books.
Best to read them in order, his earlier books are brilliant!
-
I like to read the book first and then if I really like it I will watch film.
Otherwise I just imagine the characters in the movie and it kind of spoils book for me.
I prefer to be able to say, oh I would definitely have picked her/him for that part when I watch film.

As I am off work this week, I am listening to Radio 1 and I discovered that they are still playing that song Fireflies, Owl City which sounds great now that it is not being overplayed!

I decided to start a book journal this year. I have just decided to keep this journal to see how many books I read in a month and then a year. I hope to eventually add reviews, etc but for now I am just interested to see what I read in a year cos other members seem to keep track. I have a terrible memory insofar as I get so engrossed in a book but when I finish and go on to the next one, I can barely remember what I have read unless it blows my mind!
