crispychez Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Ok here goes: January 06: The Little Prisoner by Jane Elliot The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory - loved it, one of my favourite books currently Naughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman (Audio) - great for tennagers One Last Look by Susanna Moore - yawn, couldn't get into it and didn't finish it Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt (Audio) - enjoyed, took we a while to realise it was factual and not fiction :oops: We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver - good but wasn't shocked at the end - saw it coming all along Started Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell by Susanna Clarke (taking a break from) February 06 (so far) Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult - good but not her best Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks (Audio) - sooooo boring but got further than I would have it had read the book Pride and Prejudice (Audio - abridged) woohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory - loved it, one of my favourite books currently Great taste there We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver - good but wasn't shocked at the end - saw it coming all along I keep looking at this one but couldn't make my mind up about getting it....still can't lol Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult - good but not her best I'm glad you said that because its the only one of hers that I've read and I enjoyed it so it can only get better Pride and Prejudice (Audio - abridged) woohoo This HAS to be watched, purely for the Colin Firth element...*drools*...yes yes, I know, Tash is back on her off topic obsession with Colin Firth but any chance to have a drool.....*giggles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispychez Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 I know it is an awful thing to admit but that is the only experience I have had of P&P so far - must watch it on the TV and now I have listened to it (allthough abridged) I really want to see the new film - I like Keira Knightley.

Tash Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I think it was the TV adaptaption I saw rather than the film but I'm not sure :oops: I'm too easily distracted when a certain Mr Firth is in things... I have to agree though, Keira Knightly is a great actress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispychez Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Feb Continued: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell (slight cheat - hope to finish this evening) The Kindness of Strangers - Kate Adie autobiography. This was my reading group book but I didn't finish it. I don't read a lot of autobiographies but this one was extremely boring - you would think with the sights that woman has seen she could have put some excitement into the writing. Where love goes - Joyce Maynard Around the World in 80 days - Jules Verne. This was again for my reading group as part of the big reading adventure. We are having a rolling reading group for people to visit next week. I actually really enjoyed this book and read it in a few hours. Even though I knew the ending I was still getting excited and stressed out when he missed boats etc. And was quite dissapointed he didn't go in a hot air balloon - bloody films giving me these stupid ideas. AUDIO Angels and Demons - Dan Brown. Actually still listening to this but I feel I am just re-reading the Da Vinci Code - the formula is exactly the same.
