I've got this on my shelf as well so it's good to hear that you enjoyed it, i'll bear in mind what you said about the letters when i come to read it.

Went into a book shop and didn't buy anything, can you do that?!
Kidsmum replied to Inver's topic in General Book Discussions
Only if i have the children with me then i don't get sufficient browsing time & i don't like to make a hurried purchase that i might regret later. -
Just over 100 pages left of The Fourth Queen i loved this book & found hard to put down.

The Lost Boys is a great movie I watched The Lovely Bones the other night & thought it it was quite good but the book was better which is usually the case.

I read the 19th Wife not one of my favourites though i'm afraid, i'll be interested to hear what you think of it.

Middlemarch is a great read The BBC also did a really good production of it a few years ago which you can probably get on DVD now.

I've heard of her but never read anything she's written.

Glad you liked it i'll let you know what i think when i get round to reading it I'm about 100 pages into The Fourth Queen now & i've also started When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron i've got this on audio tape & have listened to it loads so i'm only dipping into the book really.

Vanity fair is a great read so i would definitely recommend that, also Lorna Doone R.D. Blackmore Cranford & Sylvia's Lovers Elizabeth Gaskell The Water Babies Charles Kingsley The Barchester Chronicles Anthony Trollope

I stayed up late last night to finish Marley & Me, i had a little cry at the end so i was glad no one was around to see me. I've now started The Fourth Queen by Debbie Taylor.

I very rarely give up on a book, if i'm finding it slow going i always hope that it'll pick up further in or have a good ending. Having said that though if i reach the 100 page mark & i'm having to force myself to pick it up & read then i'll put it in the charity bag.

I finished The Rendezvous last night,i liked some of the stories but others weren't so good a bit predictable . I've now started Marley & Me by John Grogan.

Sounds good Paula, i like a book that keeps you guessing right till the end.

My OH isn't one for romantic gestures he's not the hearts & flowers type but i remember when i was in high school i went out with a boy who was a few years older than me, who'd already left school, he used to meet me off the school bus & carry my school bag for me. I can recall how special it made me feel especially in front of my friends.
