Perfect match is a brilliant book so far. Tricky topic but I think Jodi deals with it really well. I like how she does the perspective from all angles too.
we had to do romeo and juliet, pride and prejudice, of mice and men, hobsons choice and some poems by people who ive forgotten lol (2 of them were blake and wordsworth, cant remember the other 2). i dont like shakespeare cos i dont understand it lol but i think romeo and juliet was the best one to do cos at least i understand the storyline in that one and we got to watch the film! pride and prejudice i gave up reading, it was too long and boring so i watched the film instead (which was only slightly less boring than the book!) still managed to get an A for that bit of cw though! hobsons choice i think was the most boring play ive ever read!Quote:

Just an update. The book is excellent except for the parts when the mother (Laura) is in therapy. All she talks about is an imaginary person who she's been seeing since she was 7 (now in her 40s). It really is boring, reminds me of the Lord of the Rings kinda fantasy. Also included are stories that Laura wrote when she was in school (even more boring). I'm just skipping everything about Laura.Quote:

I've also read Chart Throb by Ben Elton - really funny, basically taking the mickey out of xfactor :p
i agree, it was the first book i read of hers and it was good but others ive read since have been better. im still reading "mercy", nearly finished it thoughQuote:

I got into the Hannibal Lecter series.... had already read Silence of the Lambs and now reading Hannibal rising, followed by red dragon and then Hannibal.. really interesting stuff
Currently reading The Remains of The Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's rather boring to start with, quite tedious.. but then it gets really good and I love the chemistry between the two main characters.
I'm reading PS I love you by Cecelia Ahern. It seems a lot of people on here have already read it. I'm really enjoying it at the moment.
I've been reading heat magazine. :D
:lol:
I've started reading Second Glance by guess who....Jodi Picoult :lol: I got it for Sainsbury's for £4 instead of £7 at Waterstones :D Anyway, it's ok so far...she keeps going on about ghosts it's a bit random :p
now on the third book of the twilight saga, they are ace, i will have completed the series by the weekend tho so will need a new obsession
are you crying a lot??? i cried on nearly every pageQuote:

i love them, although i'll finish them soon, i might read her book the host next
She should be bringing out a new book from Twilight soon, well in a year I think. Shes gonna release the book Twilight but writin from Edwards POV, I cant remember the title though :hmm:
i read the unpublished chapter on her site - its good
Ooo, Im trying to stay away from her website. Ive spoke to loads of people who read Eclipse like ages ago and Ive been good with not spoiling myself :D
A bit at the very start, where you find out how Gerry died and there's very realistic description of how Holly's coping with it. I haven't found it too bad since then, I'm on about page 150.Quote:

thanks for the memories is also good, but it takes a while to get in to, unlike PS, where is was hooked on page 1

Lose yourself in the magical new novel from Cecelia Ahern - the No.1 bestselling author of PS, I Love You How can you know someone you've never met? Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn't. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair. When she leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, Joyce moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of deja vu is overwhelming her and she can't figure out why! Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and meets attractive doctor Sarah, who persuades him to donate blood. It's the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time. When Justin receives a basket of muffins with a note simply saying thank you,he is sure someone is playing a trick on him. But then a series of gifts begin to arrive. Intrigued and disturbed, Justin is determined to find out who is sending them. What he discovers will change his life forever.
I have 'Where Rainbows End' lined up next already. I think I'll end up reading all of the books that are featured on the inside covers. I have some of Wendy Holden's books to read too; I read 'School For Husbands' a couple of years ago and loved it.
Ooo that sounds very interesting, might give that a goQuote:

(trying not to give too much away if people havent read it!)Quote:
