MMMM PASTA! I love pasta. I had breakfast for dinner - quorn sausages, bacon, poached eggs, mushrooms and beans! I'm stuffed but it was SO good!

yeah, I'm liking the look of it so far, but the trailer I have seen was rubbish... fingers crossed it all turns out ok haha!

exactly. Like harry potter - I mean, the books are amazing, the films not so much - but they are good in their own right. I love the books, like the films for different reasons... even if the film isn't so good, I still love the books... does that even make sense? I'm starving and losing brain power!

I'm a veggie, so mine includes quorn, but you can obviously put chicken in it if needs be! (this is also a 'free' meal on slimming world) I start by whisking up about 2 eggs in a bowl - throw them in a stir fry and make a little ommlette. (this is just my way of doing it). Once cooked, take it out of the pan and put it aside. I stirfry some veg, like carrots, onions, corgettes, red peppers, mushrooms and a little bit of chilli (I never use a whole one! ) - if you have baby corn and mange tout thats also good. Next I throw in the quorn so its heated up enough. In the mean time I boil up some rice and when its cooked I throw it in the wok with the veg etc. I then throw in the omlette (cut into strips) and then I douse the whole thing in dark soy sauce. It really doesnt take long. it basically takes as long as rice takes to boil - so say, 10 mins? it's perfection!

I finished this yesterday afternoon - I really loved it. I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment, and this first book was a great introduction to the new story line and some great characters. By the end of it, I was literally gasping out loud at the crux of the story and each new development. 5 out of 5!!

Ditto with the books to films - these 2 had such potential, but instead of really giving it a go, they tried to cash in on the magical film genre, which was a mistake! Still, I watch Eragon and Golden Compass just for the funsies of it all, but I wish they had been as amazing as the books!

that's a great topic idea! I'd never really thought about it... hmmm, I'll have to think.

welcome - you seem to have similar book tastes to me - it's all about the teenage books, despite me not having been a teenager for some time!

totally agree - although I like seeing certain books made to movies, there is a sudden influx which not only ruins the books for most people, it also attracts people to the stories who used to laugh at you for reading those kinds of books (it's happened to me so many times in the past 2 years that I'm just peeved off about it all now).

about 1/4 of the way through - as I only started it last night - but so far loving it. Some plot lines I think I've already got figured, but there's so much drama and mystery already I love it. Not too sure I like seeing things from Sydneys point of view yet... maybe she'll grow on me!

never be ashamed of Home alone.. you know, unless its 3 or 4... was there a 5th? I hope not! I watched The Town. it was ok - think I made a mistake putting the extended version on... 2 and a half hours is way past my attention span. Still, ben affleck... swoon!

Welcome! Don't be scared to post anything, we're a friendly bunch here!

I'm trying to finish the book I'm currently reading so I can crack on, but gods damn it, life keeps getting in the way so I'm making little progress! argh! :S

It's not the Knights at Dawn Magic tree house is it? http://www.amazon.com/Knight-Dawn-Magic-Tree-House/dp/067982412X#_

Yeah, any description of the story line would help!

OOh my edition arrived today - lovely. I can't wait to read it! YAHOO!

sadly, every day - brown toast with marmite and a cup of coffee! I like things the way I like them!

I want to be an Ann Rice fan. We have the Vampire stories in a huge book at my house. Which my sister said she had to read first. So I let her... anyway, 2 months later she's still only on chapter 5, so I think sometime next year I'll be able to call myself a fan...

Jeez... thats some mad skills you got there! haha!

cool beans - I'll totally add it to my wishlist. I don't know where I'd be without books!

I just saw that too! woo! I thought the UK release was yesterday but it's not. boo! Oh well, at some point this week I should have a delivery! hehe. I really can't wait to jump back into this world, although I'm currently working on a VA project and getting into it again, I need a new fix!
