  1. I gave up on The Slap after a few pages for that very reason. Sometimes I can just tell when I'm not going to like a book.
  2. Paper Towns was fab, certainly better than I was expecting it to be..It was an easy read but thought provoking all the same. My 13 year old daughter is reading it now and enjoying it too.
  3. Memphis Belle.
  4. Nice review for 'The Storyteller' Athena, I received a copy recently from a Goodreads giveaway. I've only read one of her books which I thought was ok (My Sisters Keeper) but this subject matter sounds more up my street so I'll get around to it soon.
  5. Have you tried any David Walliams? My 9 year old loves them and he isn't easy to please!
  6. Call The Midwife.
  7. I know! Loved his name too.. Dog! He was one of the main reasons Steve wanted a Cattle Dog.
  8. Did you see Obi?
  9. The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh is 99p on Kindle today, one of the top ten books I have ever read.
  10. I would highly recommend The Light Between Oceans and Paper Towns (which I only finished a week or two ago), both excellent books and 5/5's for me.
  11. So sorry KM.
  12. Finished Paper Towns by John Green, excellent. Strangely I found it to be a clever combination of superficial and deep at the same time.. Four reads so far this year and three of them 5/5's.
  13. Too nice? Surely not two words that's should go together (unless we're talking about men of course ) Happy Anniversary Devi!
  14. Much as I dislike the cold I wish it would get colder so that this awful rain would stop, I am fed up with washing dogs and towels twice a day!!!

      Fed up of the rain too .. makes walking a chore and I hate having to remember umbrella .. even though it is spotty :D

      We've had a bit of rain here but mainly dry periods. It's cold though. Maybe I need to send some weather your way? :P:)

  15. He does play an interesting character!
  16. The first two series were very good, then there was a change of cast and I thought it went downhill..
  17. Lots of previous Costa winners on the UK Kindle Daily Deal today.
  18. The bottom three are off the latest Richard and Judy list and have heard good things so fingers crossed!
  19. Luther.. Why did I not watch this before?!
  20. I just remembered this morning that I had a Kobo voucher to spend! So I bought... I Will Have What Is Mine - Jane Lythell Sisterland - Curtis Sittenfield The Rosie Project - Graeme Simsion Apple Tree Yard - Louise Doughty
  21. My Dad used to have sugar sandwiches and has done the same!
  22. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my life's problems at once.

  23. What an amazing heirloom Julie, it looks very intricate.. I'm sure the making of quilts etc was a lot more popular when there was no TV to distract people.
