I need to finish a book as well, so I will plough through it - as I said it's getting me to sleep at night, ha!

Sister gave me the fourth Stephanie Meyer's book which is huuuuuuuuggeeeee and she said it's rubbish but I might need to read it anyway as read the others.

Is it Breaking Dawn? I LOVED that book! I love that people view them so differently. I couldn't have hoped for a better ending to the saga.....can't wait to hear your take on it.

Happy Reading all

Hi LALA

No i didn't fix my computer OH did but he forgot to save my bookmarks to disc before he downloaded an updated Mozilla, hoping that would sort my problems but it didn't so he swapped the hard drives.

I didn't enjoy C Aherns book as much as I thought I would. I think her first book PS I love you was her best much better than the film too probably because I didn't imagine Hillary Swank( think it was her) as the young Irish girl.

I'm enjoying the Noah Gordon book. His other books are good too especially The Physician and Shaman.

I've read all the Twilight books too, I both love and hate them! I think the characters can be really annoying - the whole mooning over how 'beautiful' they all are, without really any personalities between them really bugs me. Also, the world's most ridiculous baby name EVER!

However, I still couldn't put them down, and have read them more than once. Weird!

I'm definitely Team Jacob though - he's the only one with a character

Ionahenor - you lost me at Bookmark:rotfl: It's great to know a computer whizz. They're up there with knowing an Electrician, a Plumber and a Car mechanic (theres a book title in there somewhere:D) Glad your computer is functioning well now! Will have to make a note of Noah Gordon for next time round!

Jwil - Sounds like the Twilight saga is your own personal "marmite";). Team Edward here - what he lacks in character he makes up for in looks!

Happy reading! x

Hi folks,

Quick bob in to see how everyone is getting on! Got a lousy cold so have had early nights and not much reading. Still on A Most Dangerous Woman. I'm really enjoying it - a terrific Victorian murder mystery.

Happy reading

Finally finished The Count of Monte Cristo, found it a bit hard going to start with and there were a few passages in the middle that seemed a little unecessary, but on the whole I really enjoyed it, and that's another book towards my Big Read list. Also now read Shappi Khorsandi, think I will perhaps read Bram Stoker's Dracula next and then read my 'E' book, although might treat myself to Robert Goddard first as I love his books, decisions, decisions.......:rotfl:
