Habeebi

well on perusing my bookshelf I have actually ended up starting Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman - so far so weird!

Ok so I have just finished Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom What a lovely little book - I have to say I bawled my eyes out at the end. It has left me feeling like I want to be a better person and make more time for friends and family, be more forgiving and less materialist. This book as left me feeling so touched and will be in my thoughts for a long time. 9/10 actually I'm trying to think what has faulted it, causing me to give it a 9/10 but I really can't think of anything so 10/10 Next up I am going for a change of pace and starting Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. First proper fantasy book! eek

I HAVE HAD A BREAK THROUGH! Finally got my mate to read a book! He's on hol this week and complained that he gets sick of listening to the same tunes on his ipod all the time so I suggested he take some books. He said he would take it but wouldn't promise anything and I certainly doubted he'd even remember to take it with him. Lo and behold I got a text from him today saying 'Bill Bryson is a very funny man' Yipeeee!

Just ONE of of my favourite films of all time in Labyrinth! I have loved it since I was a kid and still watch it! David Bowie looks strangely attractive in those grey tights...he's definitely the ugliest sexy man I have seen haha

I am not really a fan of ice cream however there is a shop near where I live that sells real ice cream and it is absolutely delicious! I also quite like French vanilla - pretty boring!

Just had some left over chilli I had frozen weeks ago and forgot it was there nommm! Am so stuffed I am in agony however just discovered some M&Ms in the back of the cupboard think I have a wee bit of space left..

Well started Tuesdays with Morrie yesterday and will likely finish it off tonight its lovely!

I have! Passed my PADI open water a couple of years ago and have been diving in Oz, the middle east, Turkey and Espania! I have never eaten horse!

Kell I'm curious what made you not want to read any more of her books?

Nearly finished memoirs of a geisha. Not massively taken with it but still a good read. Was going to start cross stitch but my mood has changed and fancy a change of pace with a bit of comedy or fantasy

Hot all the way I love the sunshine! Vodka or bacardi?

Has anyone read cross stitch by Diana Gabaldon? I'm starting it after I've finished memoirs of a geisha and looking forward to reading something a bit different

Trebuchet. Whats worse to find in your take away? A bug or a pubic hair?

Never have I but plan to next year. I have never had a girly holiday

9/10 whoo!!

Have you got Sky? You could record it?

I'm on my own tonight so having a trusty jacket potato with green salad, avocado, tuna in lemon and black pepper with a home made honey mustard dressing delish !!

Love this book

I have so many TBR at the moment too and I still can't help buying more - if I ever see a really good review on something and it sounds like my cup of tea I tend to buy it! I have a wish list on Amazon and I really need to start adding more things to that instead of just buying all the time!!

Wow that it definately an impressive haul! Out of those I think I have only read the Bill Bryson Books and Daphne du Maurier: Jamaica Inn which is one my favourites. Happy reading!
