    Sorry you are finding the book hard going. I always try to read my waterstones even if I can't get ito them. If it isn't my thing I will say in my review but also try to provide positives about the book. Who it might be suited to etc.

    When you win a book from their website they send a help sheet. Main tips are

    * give an honest opinion
    * tell others how the book makes you feel
    * point out what you liked or disliked
    * let the readers know who might like it

    How much of the book have you read? Is it enough to write a brief review? Typically a review should be between 100-500 words so if you really can't get into it write enough just to give a brief outline of the book without giving major plot twists away then do so.

    And to review find the correct title on the waterstones website, click customer reviews and it will give you the option to add your review

    Thank you very much mintymoneysaver and StokieBecks for your helpful replies. I can see now where to put the review.

    I didn't receive the help sheet; that would have made a big difference. Thank you for all the details StokieBecks, I've got a lot more to go on now.

    I'm over half way, and have mainly been reading on the bus. Just not finding it a book I'm very eager to pick up. Will plod on with it. Just think I need to be more careful in my choice of books in future.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    I think the help sheet only comes with ones off the website not facebook ones but on the website there is a link that takes you to a section on how to write a review.

    I also have Narcopolis to read. It is next on my list. Have almost read Chomp today so will probably start Narcopolis next.

    :hello: Everyone,

    I have had a good evening,chatted to my brother a few minutes ago on Skype,we didnt think he was going to be on and I said to my dad give him till 9.30pm.He came on a few minutes later and I rang to tell my parents,they had to put their pc back on as they had turned it off for the night so they were lucky.My sister was also waiting to chat as well.Skyped her to say he would be with her next as was chatting to my parents by that time :rotfl: what a palaver that was.

    I am off now,

    chat tomorrow

    Night!

    love and light,

    Morning all,

    Hope you are all having a good weekend. I am going out for day again.We are going to Stranraer which is only about 50 miles away but its about 20 years since we've been there. Going to visit a lovely little seaside town called Port Patrick too.
    Not managing to enter many comps but it is nice to have some nice days out while the weather is nice. New car uses just over half the petrol the old one did so encouraging us to do more milage!
    Becks did you notice the BOGOF on Rocky Biscuits for Alton Towers? I remember you were wanting to go there.
    Have a good day SYL.

    Thanks sheils will look out for them. My dad has been collecting us the vouchers from The Sun so hopefully we can get 2 free tickets to go as well :D

    I am really tired this morning. And cross with OH so Sunday hasnt started well. If I less of a conscience i would ringup and say Im not going to work and then go back to bed to sleep. Never been like that though. Only ever had two sick days in almost 8 years. And one of them was for OH when he got taken to hospital.

    Will have to settle for an early night later instead of more sleep now.

    Hope everyone has a nice Sunday. Sheils enjoy your day out. Sounds lovely. Everyone else - enjoy whatever you have planned.

    We've been collecting the AT tokens in The Sun too but Wednesday's paper with the booking form was sold out by the time I got to the shop. Bought it every day since, finally looked up the booking form today online and it says tickets are valid for a specific date but you can't choose the date :( That's no use to Mr M & I working full time, what a shame - I've never been and was looking forward to it. Shall have to find a different way to get there, keep entering comps so fingers crossed :D xx

    Is it just me or has the quick reply feature appears to have vanished

    Thanks for that info melvis... Thats a bit rubbish. I was expecting it to be for certain dates but a bit of choice (even top three choices) would have been nice :(

    Will still apply for them in hope... If its a day I really can't do then OH will go with his mate. It is OH who wants to go more so than me but it's so expensive
