Watching Mr Poppers Penguins, it's actually pretty good, and funny!

I got 6 but think 2 of those were lucky!!!

I've not read The Green Mile but the film was brilliant so hope the book is too - let us know when you get around to reading it!

Welcome Andrea, your English looks great to me!!

You didn't like it then? Think I'll give it a miss!

Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins.

So sorry to hear your news Poppyshake, what a stunning cat he was

Halfway through Witch Child by Celia Rees, good so far, hoping it will pick up pace though..

Hi Chrissy, Kylie, so glad you like it, here's another one if you didn't spot it already!

These are not my shelves obviously but I wasn't sure where else to put it, feel free to move it if needed (There are other animations by the same guy which are also good!

Here is a link to the cover for the UK edition of Shadow of Night, there is also a link to a short extract from the book... http://www.adiscoveryofwitches.co.uk/news.html

Starting Witch Child by Celia Rees today, book 3 of 2012. :-)

2 more books to take off my wish list and add to my TBR pile - passed on by a friend so I didn't buy them, and I gave her a couple of books too so they're not taking up any extra space! A Certain Slant of Light - Laura Whitcomb The Dive from Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer

Some of you have mentioned something happening after the credits roll, a friend of mine left before the credits ended and was wondering what happened, could somebody tell me so I can enlighten her please? PM me if you don't want to spoil it for others.

Most of my friends read to some degree, even if just when they are on holiday, but when I mention I keep a record of books I have read, and that I frequent a book forum they really do not get it... They don't know what they're missing!!!

Broadmoor is just a few miles from where I live - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadmoor_Hospital - in fact every Monday at 10am the alarms are tested, they have alarms all around the surrounding area, and we have contact pyramids in place at all the local schools should there ever be an escape so parents can collect their children or the children can be safely kept in school. What happens if there is ever an escape at 10 am I am not sure!!!

Yep, a bit of a pedant I don't think I was taking to much note of legal ages, in fact we used to have an Offie attached to the local pub and I could go in there and say whatever I was asking for was for my Dad and they would sell it to me, and that was probably from the age of 13/14, things have changed rather since then! Just finished The Night Circus - on my second attempt. It took a while to get into it and I only continued past the 100 page point due to the great reviews on here. I'm very pleased I did as the second half of the book was much better than the first in my opinion. It was a slow moving book and it took me a while to see where it was going and for the magic to be revealed to me, in fact it wasn't until the characters of Marco and Celia were developed, and later those of Poppet and Widget (my favourites) that I really started to be enthralled by the writing. I'll definitely look out for more from the same author in the future.

I have only 60 pages left of The Night Circus to go, I can't wait to see how it ends, damn hockey!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babycham It really wasn't very nice...

I remember Kell posting a review on The Notebook by NIcholas Sparks which looks unashamedly romantic, you may have seen the movie?

Well the legal age for drinking over here is 18 so I wasn't too far off, my parents were pretty strict too but had no idea what I was doing and I wasn't a serious enough drinker to get into trouble, Babycham used to be the drink of choice!!

28? Well I was teetotal till I was 16, not much different lol!! :-))

I'm not familiar with many cocktails but the closest I know is Sex on the Beach but that also has Vodka in it! Personally I prefer to stick to white wine of mojitos'!!
