  1. I know what can I say it looks like an interesting concept and I have read a little more its not too bad actually though very very detailed.
  2. I started one of my library book this morning before work Anno Dracula - Kim Newman, the concept is good Queen Victoria marries for a second time and its Count Dracula, London is filled with both vampires and humans the main characters from the original Bram Stoker are there or at least mentioned and its set during the time of Jack the Ripper, unfortunately I had to read the first page twice and its a bit wordy at the moment, I will carry on for a bit but its going to have to improve really which is a shame.
  3. I decided to be a good girl today and visit the library to pick up spme books rather than relying on my kindle, its the week before pay day I need to stop spending So I picked up a couple I have read before (I never mind re-reading) but also Scarleyy Thomas's Our Tragic Universe, A book called Anno Dracula and Kim Harrison's Pale demon ( I have the others for my wn but I need to economise but I might still get it to make the set up).
  4. M neither one of my favourite series and Charm glad you are enjoying Kresley Cole I have read all of them, when you get to the last one can't remember what ts called don't get it I will send you I have a spare copy I have just finished the last book I had on my Kindle that I am continuing with and now about to go searching for more.
  5. I do it all the time, you frequently find me up til about 2 or 3 on a week night when I have to get up for work, in the morning I read in bed before getting up for work, usually its after I have made my breakfast (which I have in bed) then suddenly realise its 8.25 and I need to be in the office by 9am and still haven't dried my hair!
  6. At some point I am going to have to stop ignoring my own list and add in another load of books, I think I might have read about 20 since this last update....oh god why don't I do it as I go along
  7. I appear to be loosing my voice, there is cheering in the office :-)

  8. Monday morning joy!!

      You mean it too, don't you? Weirdo ;-)

  9. Thanks VF in the end I left it just like that.
  10. Reading through some of the freebies I picked up on Amazon the other day, one dreadful one ok and one which I am part of the way through looks like its going to be pretty awful too, but you live and learn. I have read all of Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series and 2 of the Archangel ones the Archangel ones are not any where near as good as the others although the concept is fairly interesting, I just can't seem to like the characters enough. I am tryiong to wean myself of the paranormal's for a bit trying some fantasy but as you can see from above the freebies I have are not good enough, I might go back to crime for a bit (reading it that is not doing it )
  11. I can't even bare to watch it even if there is nothing else on tv....truly truly awful
  12. Have had 3 weeks o peace and now the most irritating woman in the world is back from leave....sigh!!! roll on the weekend

  13. Oh good hope you enjoy...what did you think of Blood Vines I thought it was nowhere near as good as some of her others
  14. Have been a bit quiet recently as I wanted to read all of Nalini Singh's Psychangeling series and tonight I accomplished it. I have also read a few other things will update my list at some point. I now have about 145 books on my kindle and I only got it in June.
  15. Yeah me too hence I have some of the Mallorean in a larger size paperback you remember when there used to be 3 sizes of issue, hardback, bigger paperback then normal paperback. I was so desperate to get them though. I also have some of his others in hardback Belgarath the Sorcerer and the Polgara one but my dad got me those.
  16. Oh no thats a shame, I have the complete set somewhere on my shelves I must look it out at some point, I loved these when I was a kid.
  17. Thought I would share this as these guys came into our office yesterday to get a bit more background on what it is they are doing and be given talks by some of our experts even the most cynical of some of my colleagues has said how nice they were. Soldiers digging on the Plains

      Yep and I wanted to finish it

       

  19. I have read this and the second one and am desperate for the next instalment.
  20. I kinda like to keep my books mixed up (I know shock horror to you guys) but I like to re-read books so when I am searching for a book or even when I am just browsing my bookshelf my eye is caught by an old favourite I haven't read in ages. I still need to get a few more shelves so I can clear out my little room maybe a task for the winter months.
  21. Just got trapped in my car reading whilst it poured down outside....shame it stopped really

  22. I have been reading Nalini Singh Psy/changeling books (why had I not found these before?????) my second hand copy of The Little World of Don Camillo - Giovanni Guareshi also arrived in the post today so I am a happy bunny.
