I think I am reading Kill For Me at the moment is it the one with the Kidnapped girls ( sorry I just picked it up and didn't look at the title as they are all so similar) I haven't been able to get them all in order an will probably suffer for that as I am sure there are stories in this from previous books am I right?

43. In The Woods - Tara French Now I will admit that I finished this book far too quickly in my desire to finish the last chapter before going to work. synopsis (courtesy of Eurocrime.co.uk) Adam Ryan has fulfilled his lifelong ambition to become a detective in the Irish police force. But because of a tragic event in his childhood, in which two of his friends vanished, never to be found, he calls himself "Rob" Ryan and does not reveal his past. He's best friends in a platonic way with fellow-detective Cassie, and near the start of the book the partners take on a case of a young girl who has been found murdered at an archaeological site – in the very same woods where Rob's friends had disappeared more than 20 years ago. Rob feels compelled to investigate the case as he's convinced it must have something to do with the earlier tragedy: so he persuades Cassie, who knows his secret, not to confide in their superiors. I really enjoyed it though although the unresolved mystery at the end of the book ultimately let me down, now this has been commented on, on a number of the reviews I read online and there is a second book which might go some way to resolving so I will probably go for a read of it. the only other fault in the book is the character of Adam Ryan he started put really well, but at the end my only opinion was that he was abit of an idiot. The only other niggle I have is once again the description of the archaeological site and the archaeologsts, sometimes I think authors look at an idealised view of archaeology one which is about 20 years out of date, still in the end I have to let this go it won't ever change I think. 44. Torment - Lauren Kate This is the second part to Fallen which I read a couple of weeks ago, and I was so dissapointed in, the only reason I read this was I had ordered it from the library and it was free as it was a YA book. Again I felt as if the book was a let down, it tried far to hard and again nothing really happened. So I think thats it for me and Lauren Kate.

Wow I wish I had thought of a naughty room for my guinea pigs instead if I want Squeak Squeak to get out of the lounge I have to corner him and shoo him back into the kitchen which usually ends up with me shifting heavy bits of furniture around and getting all hot and bothered whist he darts from side to side....the only effective way I have is to nonchalantly walk into the kitchen myself fake opening the fridge whilst all the time talking to Pickle...he gets all curious and is immediately there thinking food might have arrived in his cage..... I think they rule my house not me

Hi Welcome I am sure you will be overwhelmed with recommendations

I started reading In the Woods - Tana French this morning before work, seems like it might be interesting

I love them they cheer me up everytime 42. Angel Fire East - Terry Brooks This is the third part to the Knight of the Word trilogy, its been probably over 10 years since I read the second of these and I probably should have gone back and re-read them before starting but hey ho I was in the library and it was there and I didn't have many books to get out and was in panic mode. Soooooo hmmmm it was good though, I had forgotten that Terry Brooks wrote something other than the seemingly endless Shannara series which was far more my sister's thing than mine. This was set in 2012 (according to the blurb in Wikepedia) and focuses on two main characters John Ross a knight of the word which is a sort of Knight of good the word being quite a spiritual though not strictly speaking Christian thing as it incorporates shaman, fairies sylvan beings wood sprites and all that stuff, they battle against the demons of the Void (arch enemies sort of thing) John Ross has been a knight for a long time he has had successes and dissapointments he is beset by a vision in which he has a final task before being released as a Knight, he has to capture a wild magical thing called a morph. The second main character is Nest she has encountered John Ross before at least twice in her lifetime and both those times brought about change for her,. Nest lives alone she is an ex Olympic runner but retired to take care of the woods as part of her magical heritage having come to terms years before with both her mothers and her demon fathers side. John Ross brings to her the Morph and he and she try to understand what they have to do to battle against the demon which has been tracking John Ross as either side can possess the creature and it can be used for good or evil but only for a limited time beofre it dissapears. I think you need to read these books in sequence to make sense of the whole story

39. Torment - Lauren Kate Hmmmmmmmmmmm not sure what to say about this book, I have the next part to read already and I know there is a 3rd part. Its Ok and thats probably the best I can say about it. The story synopsis is (courtesy of Amazon) There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move. Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce--and goes out of his way to make that very clear--she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her. Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story. Its hard to decide why I wasn't enamoured with this book but it just tried too hard...to hard to be mysterious..to hard to be romantic...to hard to be angsty (I made that word up to suit this)....it starts when Luce arrives in a new school which I think is some sort of reform school but its never clear, this is after a mysterious fire which is refered to but never really explained.... and this is a constant throughout the book, trying to hard. I know this is a YA book and I am no longer a YA but an A but I like some of this kind of literature if you want romance then read Shiver and Linger, if you want gut wrenching brilliance read The Hunger Games trilogy...definitely try these before this one. 40. Witches Abroad 41. Lords and Ladies I am having a re-read of Pratchett's witches series at the moment just for a bit of fun when I don't want anything stressed at bed time.

I started reading Angel Fire East - Terry Brooks this is the third part of the series which I started reading about 10 years ago I think so I am finding it a little hard to remember the book.

I just watched Being Human....OMG I love it I think next weeks is the last in the series

Oh the series stays great right through to the current ones so you have a lot to look forward to...my fave..well Mitchell for pure sexiness but you are right George has the best lines and is so funny, Annie is great especially when she makes cup's of tea all the time, its been ages since I saw the first series, I think Herik is well done because he looks like a normal person but inside is a really evil vampire. Can't wait for tommorow nights episode series 3 is getting really dramatic.

Great review for No 4 I am tempted by it, do you think you will go and see the film at the cinema?

Yesterdays Spag Bol again I could eat this every night

I got 3 books from the library today Torment - Lauren Kate In the Woods - Tana French Angel Fire East - Terry Brooks the last being a desperate mesure to get at least 3 books to keep me going this week.

Being Human is one of my favourite series on Tv we are on season 3 here who's your favourite character last film I saw was Taken with Liam Neeson which is a brilliant film I know its on tv tonight and I might watch it again, if you are a fan of Liam and don't mind a bit of violence then watch it.

I finished Fallen - Lauren Kate yesterday it was an ok read maybe I am just so far removed from teenage angst and don't get it, but I have torment waiting for me in the library and I do want to know what happens to the characters. I will probably try and write a better review on my own page. So for a lack of anything fun to read I am re-reading Carpe Jugulum - Terry Pratchett having finished Lords and Ladies the other day. Also I am still reading In Cold Blood - Truman Capote

Oh I do think, even though I have no children myself, I do remember what it was like as a teenager ( a dim and distant memory) when you don't have a nig circle of friends and few hobbies it was a great place to escape to and escape further with a book, kept me entertained for hours and hours.

Its well worth the expensive purchase, and I can't wait for the second part

I am currently reading Laure Kate - Fallen and rereading Terry Pratchett - Lords and Ladies for a bit of light heartedness

Beirut - My Night with the Prostitute from Marseille

37 - Alex Bell Lex Trent Versus the Gods This was the second Alex Bell book I have read after Jasmyn which I enjoyed immensely, this was a little different as it was obviously aimed at the YA market, saying that it was a good book. The story is set in a woprld which has been divided between the upper world where humand live and the lower world the realm of the gods connected by a number of ladders, it is forbidden for the humand to climb down the ladders. The gods are rather like those you would find in greek and roman mythology gods of justice, trickery and lover etc... the gods hold games in which 3 chose human competitors if you refuse to be a competitor you could be turned into a chess piece to sit in the church or temple of the god who chose you. The story centres on Lex Trent a con artist and trickster who has sligned himself to the goddess of luck, Lex is caught trying to steal a fabulous jewel, he is quick witted and tries to bluff his way out of a jail sentence but in the process of running away gets caught up in the games of the gods as one of the 3 competitors, far from being distraught by this Lex is happier than he has ever been, having been brought up by his grandfather on stories of adventures and daring deeds which his granfather chronicled. So begins Lex's story of the games. This was a fairly short read, it was quite funny in a lot of places, please don't think it has any ofthe deth ad sadness of the Hunger Games Lex trent is a glib, shallow rouge and rascal who would sell out his grandmother to get ahead, he has few redeeming qualities right to the end of the book but in some ways this makes the book worthwile there are few protagonists written so shallowly, Alex Bell doesn't give you a hollywood ending to this there is no moral to the story rather its an adventure book which does exactly what it says on the tin. For younger readers this is a great book. 38 Dream of a Dark Warrior - Kresely Cole This is the 11th Immortals after Dark books by Kresley Cole and they are my guilty pleasure, it is the story of Regin a Valkyrie and her love Aiden a Berserker. its definitely for the older reader and quite graphic in places but funny as well, Kresley Cole uses a lot of slang and her characters although ancient and magical embrace the 20th century wholeheartedly. If you enjoy Gena Showalter and Sheryliyn Kenyon you will probably like this series of books.
