I like the sound of Mr Pettigrews Last Stand & You're Next & I definitely intend on reading Room at some point.
-

Cottage pie & broccoli with cheesecake for dessert.

Mad Max, couldn't believe how young Mel Gibson looked:o The movie's definitely dated though
-
Another one that I have on my TBR pile I've read quite a few Richard & Judy recommends books & they're usually good , The Suspicions of Mr Wicher being the only notable exception , so I do tend to look out for they're stickers when I'm browsing the shelves in the charity shops.

Hi Ben, interesting review on A Week in December it's on my TBR pile so it was good to read your thoughts on it . The only other Faulks I've read is Birdsong which I really enjoyed so I'd recommend that if you were looking for something else of his to try
-
Great pics Poppy, I'd love to go To Hay on Wye but would probably want to go on my own so I could browse uninterrupted
-
I've only managed to watch one of them so far but not keen on Anne Robinson I find her smirky face a bit irritating.
-
I finished English Passengers this afternoon even with my youngest knocking a cup of coffee over it Brilliant read very funny but also sad. I'm starting The Eyre Affair next.
-
Great review Pipread I'll be looking out for this one.
-
I've got that one to read, I keep meaning to make a start on it but then I get tempted away by other books.
-
Still reading English passengers should finish it either tonight or tomorrow & then like Bobblybear I'll be starting The Eyre Affair I also gave in to temptation & ordered The Forsyte Saga Volumes 2 & 3 from Amazon.
-
I loved Downton Abbey so I'll be interested to read what you think of Past Imperfect
-
This series just keeps getting better & better, I have absolutely no idea who the killer could be now:unsure:
-
Still the same - products that haven't changed in 50 years?

Birds Custard Powder, the tub I have now looks exactly the same as what I remember it being like as a child. -
I hadn't thought of it like that but yes I guess its a good way of dipping your toe in the water & finding out if you like their style of writing:)
-
I'm planning on reading this next Claire, I have read Jane Eyre but quite a few years ago so would you recommend re reading it before I start on the Eyre Affair?
-
At least you only spent a £1 on it, I find that as well, if I don't like the characters then it doesn't matter how exciting the plot line is it ruins the book for me.
-
I'm really enjoying it, it's been on my TBR pile for awhile & I probably wouldn't have got round to reading it for awhile if hubby hadn't read it first & given it the thumbs up:) Still enjoying English Passengers
-
We have bookshelves in the front room but they're all full so the rest are in boxes under our bed. I do get rid of books as soon as I've finished them either to friends or to the charity shop but my TBR pile never seems to get any smaller:blush:
-
Sci fi's not really the sort of thing I normally go for but definitely tempted by this one. Thanks for the review
-
I like the sound of Suspicion, don't think I've read any of her books before. Thanks for the review
-
That made me laugh, I've never really felt inclined to read Frankenstein maybe because I didn't find him particularly scary on screen.
-
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did VF, The Help especially is a must read in my opinion
-
Over a 100 pages into English Passengers & really enjoying it
