    Hi Bookworm, just wanted to pop by and wish you luck. Hopefully I can get some hints on here of brilliant books to read. I always mean to read more but work and children hinder that, although I could just switch the tv off in the evening.

    Good evening

    Felt a bit disorientated today as keep forgetting what day of the week I'm on...somehow bank hols do that to me (although I love them and wouldn't want to do without them!)

    I had a survey payment come in earlier than expected from OP so that's another £40 OP'd :D

    I have just watched the final ever episode of True Blood - trying to work out whether I am happy with it or not!! :think:

    I think I'm probably leaning towards liking it better than the books ended....but the jury is still out!

    I have watched TB since the beginning as was already a fan of the books. The last couple of seasons have definitely lacked something compared to the early ones but overall I have enjoyed it. My absolute favourite has to be Eric (genius casting!) and I will miss my viking fix ;)

    :wave:

    I hear you on the confused week B*W ... what a difference a BH makes in throwing everything off track!

    Saw my SIL & BIL yesterday and thought of you ... they've just come back from USA and met Linwood Barclay at a book signing. Very nice chap by all accounts ... writes from 8.30 till 3.00 every day without fail! Great that the book you won turned out to be a good'un!

    Hope the rest of the week turns out well. x

    It's been a long week and a long month - can't believe it's still August!

    This month is unusual in that there is 5 weekends in it. Apparently that doesn't happen often. Maybe that has something to do with it!
  • I know I shouldn't be wishing August away, but we've been under house arrest this week and I'm bored to tears, can't believe we've only really had 3 days of it….
