Today I bought and read
Kissing Perfect (At The Party #4) - Lauren Barnholdt
Pursued (Witches of Santa Anna #5) - Lauren Barnholdt
Enticed (Witches of Santa Anna #6) - Lauren Barnholdt

All short novellas for Kindle. And again £2 odds each, and suprise suprise none of the series' are finished yet, theres still more to be released later this month. I swear this woman must be raking it in! I don't see why she can't write a whole book and release it, instead of releasing little snippets, calling them novellas and charging over the odds for them via Amazon. I want to say I won't buy any more....but I need to know what happens in the Santa Anna series now! She always leaves them on cliff-hangers as well!

EDIT: I've also realised I haven't updated my list in forever....will do an March update soon with a new list and how many books I managed in February.

Have got a ton on my thread I've updated that are on my iPad. I think I need to go to bed early and read for a good hour or so....Lady Chatterley's Lover tonight.

Am currently reading The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs and it is ABSOLUTELY FAB!!

I could have written it myself - find myself nodding in agreement and saying, "Yes!" on almost every page.

Can't wait for the children to go to bed on a night so I can read a bit more - does that make me a bad mother???

No, just a good reader!

Have just finished 'My Booky Wook' by Russell Brand.

It was surprisingly good! I never would have read it in a million years except I was lent it by a friend who recommended it (and I must admit, I would have thought she would have been the second last person ever to read it). It was far more intelligent and better written than I had any reason to expect. Brand comes across as a mainly sympathetic character, but not always, and overall I'm glad I read it as he has had a hell of a life and is jaw-droppingly funny in places.

Next: hmm, think it had better be something professional.

Good for you Ms Pickle!

One of my favourite quotations is:

"Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world."
— Voltaire

A pity that I can't dance for toffee!

That IS surprising - I might check that out now! Like you, it's not a book I would have thought of as being any good, just shows how you can have preconceived ideas about things!
Halfway through The Crying Tree, which I'm thoroughly enjoying. It's a horrible sleety day here - perfect book reading weather!:rotfl:

Doesn't it just? I try to keep an open mind, but every now and again I find myself being a bit judgmental about these things. It's nice to get a blast every now and again to prove that prejudices are made to be broken.
