°­²¹³Ù±ð’s comments from the A bit of this and that group.

really enjoying this so far ..it isn't anything like i was expecting and the sprinkling of photos throughout the book give it a real sense of reality. I just got to the part where they have got to Wales and i have no clue which way this story is going to take me so i am hooked!

i love a bit of zombie action!! Walking Dead season 3 has been put on some weird channel over here in England that i don't have so will have to wait for the box set :( I have to admit though that it's not the zombies i love in Walking Dead - it's Rick - the main policeman guy - yum yum lol
I also love Shaun of the Dead :)
My son is into - he went to a book signing recently and all the staff in the shop were zombied up and playing the part - was great !

Hi Judy - welcome to the group and i hope you decide to stay :) The more the merrier!!

Lol...well i'm a New group so i'm hoping a few more people will join me soon ... You obviously found your way here so onwards and upwards! :)

Please feel free to hang around...i think its mainly just me here most of the time !

Well i know Agatha Christie but other than that in the dark ...l am trying lately to improve on my reading choices and maybe be a little more high brow - or intellectual you might say lol

And that ;)

so i have jumped into this one feet first!! The language is abit foreign to me - but i guess it's like reading Shakespere - will get easier as i go along. i am only afew pages in but the book already has a very dark and mysterious feel to it. I do know the story from watching the film afew times so i am hoping this will help me in getting through the book and understanding it. I was feeling a bit smug with myself to be honest when i was sat in my staff canteen at lunchtime with 'Wuthering Heights' in hand - i got afew looks lol

i was thinking of doing a six monthly challenge of reading some classic lit stuff. I was thinking along the lines of Charlotte Bronte, Daphne Du Maurier, Dickens? i say 6 months because it takes me a while to read anything classic - i can be a bit of a dunce lol
I would really like to give Wuthering Heights a try so if anyone would like to read along with me let me know :)

I read this last month and just loved it - thought i would add as another monthly read so we have 2 on the go :)

Hi Reaghan - nice to meet you and thanks for joining - not many of us yet but i'm hoping we will grow in numbers soon :) I havn't read any of your favourites although i have seen The Help film and fancy reading the book when i get a chance.
As for Life of Pi - i found the first part really long and hard to read but once it got into part 2 i was hooked :)

ok - i should probably say from the start that i'm not very good at writing reviews lol i don't really go into explainations of what a book is about just what i thought, or how it made me feel - if i liked it, loved it or occasionally hated it!
Hopefully some people will join our little group who do like writing great long reviews otherwise your just stuck with me :)
I finished our Monthly read this morning and will hold out on my thoughts until someone else has finished....just let me know :)

I'll definately join in with that one then - I really like Our Novel Escape - at least one group that doesn't confuse me!

I'm Tracy & I'm a SAHM of 2, ages 7 & 5, living in West Texas with my hubby. I had fallen off the reading wagon for awhile, (why, I'm not sure) but I got a nook for..."

thank you for joining - hopefully afew more will join us soon lol . Being a Mum i find reading a great excuse to lose myself for a couple of hours ...recharge my batteris so to speak :)

Karen Marie Moning is another favorite... [bookcover:The Fever S..."

Hi Tracy - i havn't read any of these so will add to my to read list :) i do remember the James Dean film "East of Eden"..he was so heavenly gorgeous in that!

So here are my favourites - in no particular order :

Jojo Moyes - mostly because her books always make me cry..and i love a good cry to be honest! My most favourite of her books is - a proper tear jerker for me!

Audrey Niffenegger - and - i've read both these books a number of times and i always find things i didnt finds the first time or the second or the third lol

Joanne Harris - for and - both perfect reads for me on a rainy day!

I have a few more but will wait to hear other peoples :)....

Please let me know whatever you want to read next?? i will add to the monthly read list :)

I thought i would start a thread on books that you've read that have stayed with you - i suppose i mean favourite books but sometimes i read a book and for a while it's my 'favourite' but then in time i find i've forgotten it!
I have 3 books that i can;t forget though:
- i read bits from this book all the time!
- Kathy, Tommy and Ruth live with me every day!
- i havn't met anyone else who has read this book so hoping to on here - i will sing it's praises to everyone :)

I would love to hear other peoples choices and the reasons whay they love a book so much....

Hello :) First topic open for discussion - please say hello and introduce yourself!

I'm a Mum of 3 aged 15, 12 and 7 - all abit of a handful to be honest so this is to be my great escape!!
