  1. I'm from the not so sunny England too
  2. I'm off to see Inception tomorrow can't wait! I'm also seeing Predators but I refuse to get my hopes up after the rubbish that was churned out for the AVP films lol.
  3. I too haven't heard of Thomas H Cook before but I do like the sound of the book. I'll add it to my list of to buy/to read books . Ty
  4. CSI on fiveusa as I'm stuck at work & there isnt much on the TVCatchup service & I'm trying block out the football lol
  5. I always buy new, I only have about 4-6 second hand books and this is due to an ex pretty much forcing me to buy them. I'm not 100% sure why exactly I prefer new over already loved & worn books but it's likely to relate to my OCD-ish nature with anything paper based. I'm truly terrible & I think I've gotten worse as I've gotten older . When I was younger if I was to pick up an argos catalogue for my mum, if I wanted to have a look I'd pick my own copy up as I hated the pages not being neat & tidy (my mums terrible at folding pages & things) lol. These days I don't lend books out at all because of the worry of how the will come back, if not at all. Also these days if my mum has one of my books I left her keep it & I rebuy a new copy .. awful I know but I can't seem to help it I do think if I came by a book of a significant age I'd likely be fine with it not being pristine or with it being 2nd hand. As of yet though I've not come by anything like that so I can't say for sure
  6. I will thank you too Kell & many thanks to you too Pixie for asking. I was never quite sure either!

    Bargain Books!

    The site's back up now. There are a few different offers, but I am tempted by the 8 True Blood Books for
  12. Sounds like lots of you are doing really well! I really need to lose weight & I've got lots to lose . A combination of changing from an active-ish job to a desk job 3years ago & a bout of depression (darn my comfort eating ways) I've really piled on the pounds . I have a problem due to the kind of shift work I do I never have the same day off, so having a regular fixed plan is out of the question. Likewise for doing things in the evenings as I work to a 24/7 shift rota. I have no self confidence or self esteem left I really do wish you could go out & buy it lol .. but I know if i don

    Bargain Books!

    Ooo I may have to have a nosey at that later! Their site is down at the mo, everyone snapping up the bargains must have killed their servers
  14. Hehe you'll soon have to lock your bank card away ... oh wait Amazon saves the details
  15. Hmm I'd have to go with blizzard. It's more likely that work would stop us from going in & therefore open up more reading time Knife or potato peeler?
  16. Dinner was a boring chicken & bacon sarnie lol. For tea I'm planing some spiced pork loin with boiled spuds & garden peas. The pork is currently marinating in chinese stir fry oil, black pepper, coriander, cumin, garlic & paprika.
  17. Welcome Scoop, I'm sure your TBR pile will be at 300 in no time x
  18. Welcome hun & enjoy!
  19. I've decided to have a go at blogging my reads here but at the moment it's looking quite sparse, so I better get my reading hat on I think I've got the layout how I like it, but I may end up fiddling some more with it .
  20. Just finished M J Rose - The Halo Effect. I found it refreshing that the lead character wasn't FBI, part of a special analysis team, anthropologist, profiler or the usual sorts of heroine we find in most crime novels. Dr Morgan Snow is a sex therapist & the book gives insight into her mental turmoil & moral dilemma(s) that she faces due to her profession, childhood & relationships. The story follows Dr Snow & one of her troubled patients Cleo Thane, a prostitute of high stature, with an established business in her trade with a high rolling client
