  1. Apparently it did but I can't find any information on it Anywhere I've looked because if it's based on the books I would definitely like to watch it.
  2. Thanks! I'll start reading Redbreast soon, and let you know what I think. I haven't read of the books you suggested so I might just have to give them ago.
  3. Any suggestions on what books to read? I like crime ones mostly.

      :-( Have you tried any supplements? My boy has bad back legs and Joint Care treats have helped him out.

  5. I am just going to add what books I read in 2012. I'm not going to do the genre challenge as I don't want to read books that I wouldn't ordinarily read because I know I won't enjoy them and I don't want to waste my time reading something I don't enjoy. Reading is after all, all about enjoyment. I probably won't read that many, but maybe someone will be interested in what I actually read. Below I will write what books I currently need to read and what I thought of each book as I finish reading them. Destined - PC Cast (read) 5/5 Divergent - Veronica Roth (read) 41/2/5 - it started off really well but I couldn't give it a full 5/5 because I didn't like it as much as I reas the last few chapters but it was still a very good book. The End of My World - Emma Jackson (read) 5/5 - heartbreaking true story of a girl who was raped by Asian men she believed to be her friends. So sad. But it was really well written. The Unremarkable Heart - Karin Slaughter Alchemist's Secret - Scott Mariani A Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin The Redbreast - Jo Nesbo The Facebook Killer: Part One - M. L. Stewart (read) 5/5 - this book was amazing, it was only 99p I think on iBooks and I didn't really think it would be that good a book, but as soon as I had finished, I had to start the second book immediately. The Facebook Killer: Part Two - M. L. Stewart (read) 5/5 - I loved this book, it was very gripping and I loved how it ended. Both books I highly recommend. Death Notice - Todd Ritter (read) 5/5 - I loved how this book got me to really think about who it was that was committing the murders, at different times in the book I thought it was someone then changed my mind, as there was so many people it could be and I thought this book was excellent. Vicious Circle - Todd Ritter (read) 4/5 - didn't feel that this book was as good as his other book, but it was still really good. He's a recommended author.

      Me too!! I only had it up for a couple of weeks last year due to work being done on the house, so I decided to get it up earlier than usual this time :)

      :) this is my first Xmas that I've had. I moved into my flat last year, but I didn't have one then as my step dad was very ill. It's making me very xmasy this year. I can't wait!
  9. Buying my very first Xmas tree Saturday. :)

  10. I am currently jobless but am studying Early Childhood studies. But I don't know what I am going to do with the qualification once I've finished in June. I will have a level 5 qualification. Ideally, My dream job would be a forensic pathologist, but I know now that dream will never happen as it takes at least 5 years in education to get there and I've already spend my life studying. I cannot go ahead with anymore. I wish I had known what I really wanted to do before I started studying childcare.
  11. Gone With the Wind is my favourite classic film. They COULD remake it but no one can play Scarlett Ohara and Rhett butler as well as Vivian and Clark. They made that movie and it would be an atrocity to try and match that.
  12. I have never read a Stephen king book. Nor have I ever wanted to. His books are based in the 'horror' genre yet not a single of his films has ever been scary which I suppose is why they are only ever a 12 or a 15 which to me does not qualify as a horror. I prefer books and films that keep me awake at night.
  13. Muhammad Ali - "Me, we." I don't get how that's a poem.
  14. Pixiwoo and kandeejohnson. Both makeup gurus. Love em!
  15. I have never read the books, and now that I am an adult I have no interest in them at all. I have seen the films, I kmow what happens. Same with the twilight books. I don't want to read the books if I've already seen the films.
  16. I just watched the film. Was highly disappointed with how much they actually missed out the book.

  20. You'll find if you look on Wikipedia he said in October last year that he was thinking of making a third.
  21. 2 families. 1 war. Forbidden love ends in tragedy. Romeo and Juliet.
  22. Just received my beautiful new phone only to realise I didn't get a micro sim to fit in it. Fail.

  23. New iphone 4S tomorrow!!

  24. I loved the book, didn't like how it ended abruptly though, almost felt like it wasn't fully finished. Am in desperate need to watch the film. I was so excited when I found out it was a film.
  25. I couldn't find a thread for it so I hope there isn't one. I read this books because it was on the top 100 paid books on Amazon. I was over half way through it when I realised there was a film about it. I really enjoyed this book. I really felt empathy for the characters in it. It really felt like this book was based on real life events because it could have happened in the 1960s. I am really looking forward to seeing the film and I give the book 5/5. What does everyone lose think of this book?
