    I'm currently reading Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl - Belle de Jour :shocked:

    ETA: This isn't one to be reading on the train/in the office, so it will have to be read whilst I am at home. So I will have to start another book too...I'm thinking the Immortality Bites series.
  • Currently reading Tithe - Holly Black. And will probably finish it tonight.
    Not been getting through as many books as usual, have had lots of uni work to do over the past week or so.

    Took some library books back today, and picked up:
    Sisters Red - Jackson Pearce
    Pretties - Scott Westerfeld
    Graceling - Kristen Cashore
    Kisses From Hell - Kristen Cast, Alyson Noel, Kelley Armstrong, Richelle Mead and Lia Block (another collection of short stories)

    Happy World Book Day everyone!!

    I have a to admit to another book in...
    I've had a parcel waiting to be collected from the PO since Tuesday, and I really couldn't work out what it was. It was a 3rd order from price minister. It had The Gruffalo's child for the little one and Grave Sight - Charlaine Harris for me.

    Hi everyone
    I'm currently reading Oink-My life with minipigs by Matt Whyman as i just couldn't resist. Not my usual thing but enjoying it.

    I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on the Kindle? When ebook readers 1st came out i was totally against getting on, but as time has moved on i can see the sense in it. Any thoughts/opinions welcome :)
