I have to admit i enjoyed the book but not as much as PopCo which i read after even though it was published before.

I managed to get through 3 of my books I got at the weekend, both sitting in the sun and recovering inside from too much sun. they were Tess Gerritssen - The Bone Garden ( a re-read but thouroughly enjoyable) Lisa Gardner - The Perfect Husband a bit of a romantic thriller quite good though. Tess Gerritsen- In Their Footsteps absolutely awful, obviously written before she went onto do the great crime novel's this was a romantic thriller but the romance was badly written the characters were two dimesional, it was set in Europe the British characters were stereotypical (upper class, silk dresses boarding schools etc...note to American authors thats not the norm!!!), really don't bother with it. Jim Butcher- First Lord Fury current read, the final part I think, I have enjoyed the Sci Fantasy series. still to read Henning Maknell - Depths Kylie Fitzpatrick - The Ninth Stone John Harwood - The seance and an audio book Jasper FForde - The Fourth Bear might listen whilst at work.

What about Traitors Gate by Catherine McPhail synopsis: This story is about a boy called Spider who is on a school field trip in a castle with his friend, Lizzie. He hates the field trip because he thinks it is boring. But then he finds out about a legend that was in the castle. It was about a leader of an army that tried to conquer another castle; he tried six times and on his seventh try he succeeded. Spider just wanted to test it a little so he wishes that the field trip was not so boring seven times and guess what

Faith....

despite promising myself I wouldn't slog it up the hill today with too much I got a massive haul from the library including purchasing 3 books from the library for

Chile v Spain but with my fingers in ears and eyes covered....come on Spain

You all convinced me to re-read this so I sterted last night as I had run out of new books, got to chapter 2 and have had to come to work unfortunately, it might be on and off for me as I intend to get some more books I haven't read at the weekend. I had forgotten how detailed it was though.

Great.....

Neither have I I have never been able to play a musical instrument

I love all sorts of crime novels, it covers such a massive genre from the gritty hard boiled detectives to the little old lady, forensics and thrillers, romances and horrors. I don't have a particular love of one particular type and am just as likely to read a romantic crime thriller like Linda Howard, or a forensic case like Tess Gerritssen to a classic by Agatha Christie or Simeon. I like European ones which have been translated like Mankell, Larsson, Camilleri or Vargas and old school like Dorothy L sayers, they cover any mood and can be picked up whenever you feel like it and I don't even mine re-reading them.

Not much on the book front today as nothing new to read and haven't really had time yet today. i have one of my reservations to pick up from the library I might do that on the way home from work tommorow, tonight I might just have a look through what I have on the shelves to re-read. I did listen to Gaudy Night - Dorothy L Sayers on the radio though.

Avocado...lovely

I have forgotten to take anything out of the freezer so it will be what I can muster up tonight...hmmm it might be a sandwich

I am glad you enjoyed it and weren't put off by the intro I hate it when they do that, I can simply remember the story as being a lovely book about a girl and the family she creates around herself through her simplicity and love. I read The Lonely Dead last night I found it on my book shelves and hadn't read it in a while not bad for a re-read. I really need to get some new books though the weekend is going to be a scorcher and I want something to sit in the garden with.

That was amazing I had a bath and they were still playing when i got out so now they have retired after 10 hours and still have to come back tomorrow.

I can't really remember what we had as required reading at school I know we did The Crucible and Macbeth as well as Things Fall Apart and Of Mice and Men but to be quite honest school never inspired me to read, we were in a class of mixed ability so reading a book would take over a month and i am not talking about intense discussion on any topic arising from the book but because some people were incredibly slow readers or because they were just disruptive. All in all I found it incredibly boring as i would read the whole of the book as soon as it had been issued and then spend a month waiting for the rest of the class to catch up. The library was not really one where you were encouraged to go either (thats the school library not the local one) it seemed to be full of books from my dads era rather than anything modern or up to date (this was the 80's)

I have...first prize for my picture of a monkey (King Kong) when I was 5 I have never made any clothes
