It must of looked spectacular when it was ablaze.

Shep Tinshill..... Doesn't really work does it i sound more like a peforming dog than a porn star.

Can i have a French one ? I always liked Trottoir when i was learning French at school.

That's so sweet Susan & Ooshie is such a nice sound

Well i have a lot of children so it seemed appropriate

Good to read so many positive reviews on this one as it's on my TBR pile so i think i'll move it nearer the top.

White Teeth i didn't think much of & The Suspicions of Mr Wicher i found incredibly boring. Fingersmith , Lovely Bones , A Thousand Splendid Suns & Untold Stories i did enjoy. Life of Pi & Atonement are on my TBR pile.

Less the a hundred pages to go In The Crimson Petal & the White now.

You got me there:lol: Everyone has their breaking point.

Kate , i love Alan Bennett i actually prefer listening to him reading his own work as i love his voice.

Why anyone wants to spend the whole of a match blowing one of these things i can't imagine. I think if i was stood anywhere near one of them i'd be tempted to club them to death with it cultural heritage or not

Oatcakes & peanut butter.

Hi Erin, welcome to the forum:welcome2:

Yes i'm with Peacefield as well though i do love a good ghost story

Hi Paige

Neither did i till i spotted it in a charity shop

Must do some reading today i didn't get any done yesterday thanks to watching the football & much red wine drinking( not all day i hasten to add.)

Has anyone read Closing Time by Joseph Heller? It's the sequel to Catch 22 which i read quite a few years ago.

Chicken & mushroom pie with new potatoes & broccoli.

Yorkshire born & bred

Ooh me too Chrissy:mrgreen: I still haven't got used to being in my forties though & would have been happy to stick at 39.

I really enjoyed the Lovely Bones, i thought Sebold dealt with a difficult subject matter very sensitively but i do agree with others who said the ending was a bit of a let down. I also read Lucky & Almost Moon by the same author which also deal with difficult subjects, rape & the stress of being the sole care of an elderly parent. I thought Almost Moon was a fantastic book & wouldn't hesitate to recommend it even to those people who didn't enjoy the Lovely Bones.

Thank goodness for that

Before i joined the forum i thought i was the only one bought books faster than they could read them so it's quite reassuring to know i'm not alone. I'll add Thursday Next to my list

I really hope they find her safe & sound. I'm sure her parents are beside themselves with worry at the moment.
