I watched Monsters again on tv last night I had forgotten how mesmerising it was even though very little happens great film low budget but really atmospheric

Its ridiculous I have a voucher to spend on Amazon and have become crippled with indecision as to what to get, when I buy on impulse I have no problem at all...............what to do I can't even make up my mind from my wish list.

I would recommend you read the other ones first. I am looking forward to getting the latest The Burning Soul which might be in my Amazon basket as I type

I have a £30 gift voucher for Amazon to spend I am going shopping guilt free.

*cough cough* have you tried Thea Harrison's Elder Races. v addictive......I am going now possibly to look up some stuff on Amazon.........

Whistling casually I am popping onto Amazon to look at the books....only looking mind :ph34r:

Mwah ha ha I should have shares the amount it tempts me with..... 242 - Mercury Falls - Robert Kroese In a vain attempt to keep on top of my list this is my latest finish. Mercury Falls is a a book about the apocalypse but with a twist, a reporter for a christian paper who investigates the cults of the apocalpse becomes involved with ...... actually its easier just to give you the Amazon synopsis so here While on assignment in Utah, Christine Temetri isn’t surprised when yet another prophesied Apocalypse fails to occur. After three years of reporting on End Times cults for a religious news magazine, Christine is seriously questioning her career choice. But then she meets Mercury, a cult leader whose knowledge of the impending Apocalypse is decidedly more solid than most: he is an angel, sent from heaven to prepare for the Second Coming but distracted by beer, ping pong, and other earthly delights. After Christine and Mercury inadvertently save Karl Grissom—a film-school dropout and the newly appointed Antichrist—from assassination, she realizes the three of them are all that stand in the way of mankind’s utter annihilation. They are a motley crew compared to the heavenly host bent on earth’s destruction, but Christine figures they’ll just have to do. Full of memorable characters, Mercury Falls is an absurdly funny tale about unlikely heroes on a quest to save the world. Now its not as good as the synopsis suggests its supposed to be satirical and funny and yes it does have its moments buts its slightly over complicated. I might get more by the author but I might have to be running out of other things to go through it again.

They are excellent aren't they I think there are 4 or 5 in the series I know I have read them all the last one earlier this year its somewhere on my list. They did and excellent adaptation on the radio as well I listen on 4extra earlier this year as well.

Hi Lana welcome to the BCF hope you find loads of book suggestions what sort do you like?

Hi Sarh, welcome to the BCF I bet if you did both windsurfing and archery at the same time you could audition for the first female James Bond. I love playing dress up although I don't do it as often as I would like, and these days mainly go as bride of Frankenstein because I like back combing all my hair for a laugh. Anyway welcome hope you find loads of books to read

Oh I agree totally (dam that easy Kindle) glad you liked the Kresley Cole brill escapist stuff and am looking forward to Lothaire next year its on my wish list already

Right I have left this far to long as usual so a quick round up here 225 - Always Angel - Heather Killough Walden Dam you charm for gettingv me into another series (shaking fists) but this is a mere taster to what promises to be a good series featuring angels and their mates (sounds corny but what the hell) will look forward to the series as it develops this one doesn't really finish but I think she published just to get us all looking forward to a new book. 226 - Must Love Hell Hounds - Various I was in need of a pick me up over the weekend so I thought I would give some of my fave authors a go on some of their compilations as you may have guessed it was a read hwich used few of my brain cells but kept me going. though the short story by Charlainne Harris was by far the weakest of the lot, maybe if she isn't writing about soookie this isn't really her genre. 227 - The Cornerstone - Nick Spalding suprisingly I actually enjoyed this is was witty and well written a bit silly, teenage boy wanders into a library the only way a teenage boy can.... bored 9 I have never been a teenage boy but I can visualise) finds a mysterious message in a book and is transpoted into a world where books and words form magic. This is not in depth in any way but its lightheareted and engaging I might look out more by the same author. 228 - Taken by Midnight - Lara Adrian There was an Amazon sale on which is why up to the last two books they were all under £2 on the kindle, otherwise I kinda want her to finish the series already they are so very samey, it has gotten better since she climed out from under the shadow of J R Ward but still no way near as good. This one starts straight after the last one and features Jenna traumatised by her encounter with the ancient she is recovering with the brotherhood and though human starts to develop strange powers. sigh 2 more to go I think then she might have gotten the hint and finished. 229 - Wicked Appetite - Janet Evanovich Love her love her work not as good as Stephanie Plum but funny light hearted and engaging Features iesel who does appear in some of the Plum book. 230 - Blood Domination (Blood destiny 4) - Connie Suttle Great series starts with one of the reviews below won't give too much away as this is part 4 but I will be getting the next one. This probably the weakest so far ut still worth a read. 231 - Dragon Bound Elder Races book 1 - Thea Harrison This has been appearing in my you will like this list on Amazon for ages so I thought I would give it a go, like it but its not cheap to get into another series, shapeshifters etc romance nothing heavy but pleasant. 232 - Silver Shark - illona Andrews more sci fi than some of her others, this story is however a romance it ends very quickly thoughy the premise is good. Psychers have waged war on a distant planet for ages and finally one side wins, the losers who are psychers are automatically put to death, though a grade 1 psycher Claire manages to escape and is sent off world to another planet with the rest of the refugees suddenly she is transported into a world where she has more freedom but cannot use her psychic ability for fear or deportation and death. Great and cheap easy reading. 233 - Shades of Grey - L M Pruitt Thankfully under £1 as its tring so hard to be part of the massive genre, the witticisms try to hard, the kick ass heroine just isn't she fallsin and out of love easily and the main villain is a bit pantomimey for someone who supposedly was raised on the street the main character Judd is a bit to wimpy and annoying. 234 - Blood Sense - Connie Suttle see above will not do anything in depth. 235 - Blood Passage - Connie Suttle see above will not do anything in depth. 236 - Blood Wager - Connie Suttle This is the first in the series (see above for the next 3) and its great I love it, Lissa is turned into a vampire as a bet between two vampires and is thrown into a world where she has rules and regs to follow is suddenly stronger and younger but vulnerable at the same time. She is witty without it being too clever and she develops her skills she comes into conflict with other vampires and their rules. 237 - Jenny Pox (the Paranormals book 1 ) - J L Bryan This started well obviously written for the teenage market Jenny Box is interesting all her life she has been able to make people ill or even kill them with her touch. growing up in a small town this has made her unpopular and wierd altjough not everyone knows of this power, her arch enemy is the popular cheerleader girl (of course) but then it gets wierd and slightly rubbish tries suddenly to bring in mythology then has a horrible ending. very dissapointing and rubbish. 238 - Graveyard Games - Sheri Leigh ok book was free so not really going to be that great girl comes home to twin brothrs death his friends are acting oddly series of murders she decides to investigate a but boring really. 239 - Invisible (Ivy Mallone Mystery series 1 ) - Lorena Mc Courtney this wasn't too bad really Ivy is an elderly lady whose best friend dies and she suddenly realises she is invisible o society so when a series of mysterious events start to occur she uses her status to gently investigate her way. However its good but I won't continue to read any more as with the subtelty of a brick the author throws god down your neck whch frankly I just find boring. 240 - The fashion Police (Amber Fox Mystery) - Sibel Hodge Terrible terrible terrible and can I say again terrible, I mean the story was not that bad and if you had never read anything by Janet Evanovich you would probably find it mildly amusimg but in fact its plagerism to the highest degree. Set in the Uk which is the main difference, Amber Fox is an ex policewoman who is kicked of the force by an arch rival (read Joyce from JE) she has a boyfriend (Joe Morelli) another man intersted who is kick ass (Ranger) she develops a side kick who is incompetent (Lula) she has a fondness for bad food esp doughnuts big hair and make up and shoes....seriously this is just a bad copy. 241 - Darkness Unbound - Keri Arthur haven't read anything by Ker Arthur for ages but like her work this is the start of a new series, Thats it I am tired sure there might be some more but too tired to scour book shelves and I still have a few more on the go at the moment but trying to save money......dam you Charm and Amazon

I watched a very early Hitchcock today Sabatouer very similar in story line to North by Northwest and the 39 steps great viewing for a sickly day. I wish they would show more great classics in the evening

I am so envious Kylie, they look great inspired me to get some more shelves for my considerable coillection though it may have to wait til after Christmas when I sort out the lounge I have no room left in my bedroom for bookshelves

I can only recommend sorry but for Natural History I recommend Oliver Rackham's History of the coutryside, also his Trees and Woodlands in the Landscape. For a bit more sciency The Secret Life of Trees by Colin Tudge. For something a bit different but fascinating nonetheless The Molecule Hunt - Archaeology and the Hunt for Ancient DNA.

One of my favourite series I have loads on CD Listening to 6 music and Lana Del Rey - Video Games, love it very haunting

Fantastic, I have failed miserably to keep up with mine as I am nowhere near as good at reviewing or listing them to busy consuming books like they are becoming extinct. The kindle its bad for me.

Hey Kyle welcome to the BCF

I started China Mieville's - Embassytown this morning I am not sure whether its a good or a bad thing that after 20 pages I got up rather than staying in bed til the last minute before work. Its such hard work with him as usual.
