Thank you I actually got the whole Hogwarts Library set from the OH at Christmas which is the two books above plus Quiddich Through the Ages!. I did really enjoy Tales of Beedle the Bard though i thought that was brilliant!

Thank you both

I'm back to work today - we work from home and I do all the bookwork. I've quite enjoyed the Christmas break but am pleased to be getting back into a routine.

I'm about halfway through The Hunger Games - why did i not read this before? Its amazing!

thank you

I've read Grey - and it was awful! the girl on the train - brilliant To kill a Mockingbird - brilliant the Sunrise - loved it as it was set in Cyprus 50 shades - not brilliant haha Harry Potter - amazing However there is a lot on my TBR/wish list!

Thank you I'm a massive Jodi Picoukt fan hehe! I hope you enjoy your reading this year too

haha! He was certainly very dinky when he was born - don't think I'd fancy giving birth to a 14 month old though! Or being pregnant for that long!

I finished Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and have started The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

1) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - J.K Rowling Synopsis -As featured in the first year set texts reading list in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an extensive introduction to the magical beasts that exist in the magical, non-Muggle world. Some of the animals featured in the A-Z you will have already met in the existing Harry Potter books: for example Hippogriff, Flobberworm, Kappa - others you certainly won't: read on to find out exactly what a Chizpurfle is, or why one should always beware of the sinister Lethifold ...As Albus Dumbledore says in his introduction, this set text book by Newt Scamander has given the perfect grounding to many a Hogwarts student. It will be helpful to all Muggles out there too ...On reading the book you will also find that Harry, Ron and (in one instance) Hermione - couldn't resist grafittiing the book, and adding their own personal hand-written opinions. My Thoughts - I was given a set of these books for Christmas and this is one of the only Harry Potter related books that I hadn't not read. To be honest I don't know why i put off reading it so long as I really enjoyed it. It was interesting to read about the different beasts and placing them in all of the different Harry Potter books was really fun. I most enjoyed reading the little comments in the book from Ron, Harry and Hermione and these really made me laugh out loud. A very enjoyable short Harry Potter related book. Rating - 4/5

Thank you I hope you do too I really hope I like the Terry Pratchett book - there is a lot of fans of it so I'm hoping I like it too! I've also played the Assassins Creed games and really enjoyed them so I'm hoping I like these too!

thank you - I'm a bit on the fence with the Terry Pratchet book as I've never read one but fingers crossed I'll like it

Haha well I thought if I spent it now I wouldn't be tempted to buy more later on haha! Also if I didn't spend it on me I'd end up buying kids books for the little one!

I'm reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them - was hoping to finish last night but fell asleep!

So my mother-in-law gave me a Waterstones voucher for Christmas and these turned up today The Yorkshire Sheperdess - Amanda Owen Dead until Dark - Charlaine Harris Divergent - Veronica Roth Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan Assassins Creed Renaissance -Oliver Bowden The Colour of Magic - Terry Pratchet How to be a Woman - Caitlin Moran

Hehe it's one of the things I've been missing about the forum - book recommendations!

I am so Harry Potter obsessed again at the minute I just can't wait to read them again! I haven't yet but I've just looked on Amazon of those books you mentioned and they sound good too so I might just have to add those to my wish list too!

Unfortunately not reading the Harry Potter books for the first time, I've read them a few times but not for a few years so I'm hoping that the magic is back in them for me again - but you can't ever loose the magic of Harry Potter if that makes sense! The OH brought me a new set for Christmas as my originals are a bit battered so I'm really looking forward to reading them again hehe! Thank you I love the amount of childrens/baby books you can get now and I keep buying them for him. He has one with a digger on at the minute which is his most favourite!

I brought two books today - didnt take long for that to happen! After Anna by Alex Lake The Angel Tree by Lucinda Riley

Yay well done you I really struggle to find the time to read now I have Ethan compared to the reading I used to do before him.

Thank you soooo pleased to be back

Thank you I have a Waterstones voucher to spend today that I got for Christmas so happy happy me
