    Not much, then! ;)

    Small world...I'm a Frenchiphone (when required) as well. And a Spaniophone if in life-threatening situations. Can speak/sign a few others as well, but not to anywhere near the other levels. Would like to learn Latin, though, as I feel a bit left out. :(
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Just reading Piers Morgan "God Bless America", am halfway through Dead to the World" (no 4 of the True Blood series) but might start Victoria Hislop "The Return". Why can I never just read one book at a time :o

    The Return is an excellent book - I highly recommend it!

    Just collected The Tent, The Bucket and Me from the library after a recommendation on here, looking forward to it.

    I'm going away to Stratford this weekend but weather reports aren't good so am looking forward to curling up with books - maybe in a lovely pub!

    Well, one of my books sold on Greenmetropolis so that's a tiny bit of bedroom space reclaimed!!

    Not sure which book from my TBR pile will be next to read...haven't had the time to read today.

    Just listed 6 psychology books on Greenmetropolis and I have only got 24 books in TOTAL in my TBR piles. I can do this!! :D
  • Pickle I did a bit of basic Latin at school, would love to be able to speak Italian or Spanish though. Totally useless at French. Something to put on my Bucket List.

    Just finished The Daughter Game by Kate Long, my honest opinion, don't bother
    Three quarters of the way through it just turned awkward and unrealistic. I just didn't get it.

    Next on the TBR pile 'We are all made of glue' Marina Lewycka.

    Tis raining and ideal snuggle on sofa with book weather :)
