:irked: I managed to read for an hour and a half this morning whilst sitting at the hospital with hubby for his appointment. I now feel the need to continue this spurt as I don't know how long before the mojo vanishes again!

I've lost my mojo again :irked: Haven't picked up a book in ages, the last one I picked up was Mao's Last Dancer but I wasn't really dedicated to that. Ridiculous, this is. :roll:

 

I hope your mojo picks up soon MissWhitlock5.gif

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets now :irked:

 

I read the whole series and once you start one book you can't stop :roll: Since you are only on the second one just wait till you hit the next book. I will say number 3, 5, and of course 7 were the best and I was really sad to stop reading the series when it was over:irked:

 

 

Also as a tip you might want to read The Tales of Beetle the Bard in between the 6th and 7th book so you get a background on some of the stories in the 7th book:D

You have my sympathies MissWhitlock, my mojo is away more than with me!

Oooh great, BookJumper! Glad you had a good time :irked:. Did you have to stand in the queue for long? How was the talk he gave?

Queued hardly at all really :irked: I was one of the first to arrive so I went to get my orange juice (I was was famished so wine wasn't a good idea) and sat down. After the talk, they called us up into smaller queues to make it less taxing. Review and photographic evidence of the encounter here.

I finished 1st to Die by James Patterson last night. I have wrote a review on my book log. Now moving on to Dexter in the Dark by Jeff Lindsay. I want to read it real quick as my resservations for the next Sookie Stackhouse Novel and Eclipse by Stephanie Mayer have arrived at my Library but I have too many books on loan to take out. :roll: I have had my mojo but it does not seem to be working as well. I think the next Sookie Novel might fix that. :irked:
