  1. Hope you enjoy The Knife of Never Letting Go I loved it. Also a big fan of Gaiman here so enjoy going through his books as well. ps Love the shelves I really need to organise mine well when I say organise I mean get some more books all over the place at mine, I have too much furniture and not enough space
  2. Daredevil, why I don't know it was on nothing else was hours I won't get back in my life
  3. I agree Karsa, I guessed that was probably how it was done. I was not a big fan of Moriarty (I mean the acting obviously his villany is superb ) his chopping and changing voice was a little high pitched for me. The other thing I have a small problem with is Mycroft he has always been portrayed as being the brainier more cerebral of the two brothers in the books but he appears to be a bit gullible in this, I love the way he is acted and I love the way he interacts with his brother but I am less sure they portray his intelligence well.
  4. Read a bit more of Simon R Green's Deathstalker Coda this morning I had forgotten how much I enjoy his work and sci fi in general
  5. julie thats brilliant congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of kindle books
  6. Well I have a few more books read since I last popped on here, nothing too weighty yet but some not too bad ones. 6. Avengers Angel - Heather Killough Walden following in from a short into book I read last year recommended from Charm I read this book as a first part to a series in which the arch angels Gabriel. Michael Urial and Azarael came to earth about 2000 years ago to search for their Archesses' females which the creator crreated especially for them and lost on earth. This is the first story and features Urial and his search and finding of his archess. This book was not as good as the short story seemed to suggest it was ok and I will read more of them but not as good as it could have been. 7. The Harvesting - Martyn Ellington A wierd short but free fictional story of the earth and what might happen if all those stories of Alien abduction are in fact true. This follows 3 men recently of the oil rigs in Scotland travelling home when they crash their car, upon waking up they discover that some time has passed and no one seems to be around instead there are a number of abandoned cars. They think they will only need to pass the border into England thinking its a mysterious virus, but it turns out not to be true and slowly they become aware that it was an abduction....can't say too much but it was ok. 8. Uprising (The Fall of Haven) Justin Kewppainen I really enjoyed this book, set in a world where society has become completely disjointed and the rich and powerful have segregated themselves away completely shutting out those who were not rich enough to buy their way in they have sealed the poor and criminals into the underground. To make things worse those these priviliged people raid the down below kidnapping people from the streets brain washing them and retaining them as servants in the above world (The Haven) but down below the various factions are stiring and uniting preparing to try and get above. It was really ebtertaining this book and I am hoping and it does seem to suggest that there may be more parts to it to come. 9. Tiger of Talmare - Nina Croft Bit of light sci fi romance this one but did enjoy seemed to be quite a short story. 10. Never Apologise Never Explain - James Craig Not realised that this was a book 2 crime story featuring Det Carlyle set in the Uk it was slightly unsatisfying and a bit irritating really am not going to bother to pursue any further. 11. True Colours -Thea Harrison Short story from The Harrison featuring the Wyr breeds liked it waing for her 4th book to be released so this was a taster for me. I admit I got the ending way beofre it happened but I still liked it. 12. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Graphic Novel) Graphic novel based on the league encoutering The War of the Worlds 13. The Bloody Chamber - Angela Carter Will postthoughts on the Jan reading circle rather than here save me doing it twice. well thats it for now I didn't realise I had read that many books I have to admit, and I am part way through a couple of others at the moment anyway.
  7. I am not strictly speaking on a diet but I am getting fit slowly but surely since I got a wii and use the Wii fit plus every day or nearly every day I have only misssed a few days in months usually do about an hour a night but recently have upped it to about an hour and a half and thats doing the exersizes not the in between times. So I have lost between half and a stone I aim to be fitter by the summer really so I can get out and do more outside activities.
  8. I finished my kindle Freebie The Uprising (The fall of Haven) this evening. I also read a bit more of my tribute to Sherlock Holmes The Mammoth book of New Sherlock Holmes adventures. I also managed to pick up 3 books for £1 from a libraru sale today including Kelly Armstrong's - Industrial Magic, Simon R Green's - Deathstalker Coda and Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony I have read the first two but don't own them, I just wish they were in little better ondition.
  9. great idea Ben. I have read them all already as I got the complete works years ago. Enjoy though I do reread them from time to time
  10. I loved this when I read it last year now I am waiting for the 3rd part to come out this year...enjoy!
  11. I read a bit more of The Uprising(The Fall of Haven) last night and this morning its quite good for a freebie book.

  13. I started and finished Avenger Angel by Heather Killough Walden and started one of my freebies from Kindle The Uprising (The fall of Haven) this morning before I came to work. Also still reading Death comes to Pemberley and must update my list and the Jan reading circle about my thoughts on The Bloody Chamber......busy busy busy...oh and do some work at some point
  14. I think it was hard because he talked as well made it more traumatic
  15. I read Janet Evanovitch as a filler as well I love her sense of humour in between a lot of other books. as for mary stewart one of my favourite is Touch Not the Cat I inherited it from my grandma.
  16. Oh totally I was in bits when it happened.
  17. I finished a graphic novel a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen also part way through a Sherlock Holmes series written by other authors which I downloaded from Amazon recently. I also finished one of my freebies Never Apologise, Never Explain (Robert Carlyle 2) - James Craig and a short story by Thea Harrison - True Colours I am stil on the last story of The Bloody Chamber - Angela Carter which I will try and finish tonight.
  18. This is my system as well though I often find in the hunt for a particular book I find another I fancy reading...so happy days
  19. I loved it though not as much as the first, still great thought the accent of Russel Tovey didn't do him any favours he sounded a bit wierd. I loved the Stapelton ref though if you are familiar with the book it was a giant red herring
  20. I am going to second all of these and add in the excellent French Film, Brotherhood of the Wolf and some of early Almodovar's films, Women on the Verge and High Heels for their twisted comedy value.
  21. I read The Golden Acorn Last year yes it was free but it was a nice story nothing too taxing but its a kids book I did mean to look up more work by the same author
  22. feels a little bit in the middle of two colleagues and friends argument this morning....happy Mondays!!

  23. On tenterhooks can' wait
  24. I have a patterned black and white neoprene case for mine but I also got a skin as I didn't want it naked (Unlike some!!! ))
  25. On the final story of The Bloody Chamber - Angela Carter also read a bit more of a couple of other books I have on the go but I was out last night so not much reading done today
