Just to let you know - I am on holiday this week (will be back on the 28th September 09) so I will be able to reply to any messages then - regarding book rings etc - :)

Just a few notes to introduce myself, I am a very busy mother of two, I always try and cram as much into my days as possible (usually spent running the kids round to clubs and friends!) I am also a Tawny Owl with a local Brownie group. Most of my reading time is spent in the car waiting for one of the kids, stood leaning against a cupboard in the kitchen while I cook the kids tea or lunchtimes at work, sometimes I am lucky enough to have time to spend an hour in the bath with a good book! I find it difficult to release books as I am a natural hoarder but I am being ruthless and figure that empty shelves will leave more room for new books. My TBR pile is continually increasing and I stuggle to keep up to date with registering books, although my 2008 resolution is to 'Get Organised' - which is no mean feat! I buy books from second hand shops and books sales, all the other usual bookshops, car boot sales, library sales, internet (ebay, amazon, etc) and I always have a list handy for birthdays and Christmas. Old books, new books any will do, but if I have a brand new book I have to read it first before I lend it to anyone and I try really hard not to crease the spine. I love books and can't understand anyone that doesn't - including my eldest daughter, I just can't seem to pass the bug on to her, although my youngest daughter is just like me and reads anything she can get her hands on! So in short I love books and I am glad to have found a web site full of people as crazy as me! |

Ronnie - Ronnie Wood - 8/10 Interesting The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks - 8/10 Made me cry Marley and Me - John Grogan - 7/10 Made me laugh and cry Call Me Elizabeth - Dawn Annandale - 6/10 Enjoyed, but I felt it was missing emotion Blessings - Anna Quindlen (Library Book) - 7/10 Enjoyed this, I felt sorry for the 3 main characters but glad they had each other |

The River - Tricia Wastvedt (Library Book)- 7/10 There were a lot of characters to keep up with but a good read all the same Undead and Unwed - Mary Janice Davidson - Bookring (Intl) - 7/10 Made me laugh out loud in places The Butterfly Box - Santa Montefiore - 7/10 A bit of an epic - very Rosamunde Pilcher Slash - Slash and Anthony Bozza (Borrowed from my brother) - 7/10 A good read, not too easy to follow as he keeps going backwards and forwards in places but an insight just the same - and some lovely photos (in my opinion!) |

For One More Day - Mitch Albom (Library Book) - 8/10 I preferred this to Five People you meet in Heaven - quite a thought provoking book. No Time For Goodbye - Linwood Barclay (Borrowed from my cousin) - 7/10 A different sort of story some twists I didn't see coming although I did part guess 'whodunit' Northern Lights - Philip Pullman - 7/10 An enjoyable read, although some parts made me cry. Daughter of the River (An Autobiography) - Hong Ying - 6/10 - Not a very enjoyable read but I felt that I had to read right to the end out of respect for what the 'Little Six' and her family went through during the book - all those rules and regulations to remember!
