    Hi Linda,just thought I'd drop you a quick note just to say Hi,and tell you will miss you in the Squints.Please just nip in for a moment to say hello and tell us what is happening.I am reading up a storm as usual,went mad joining up to various challenges.One is 12 x12,that is read twelve books in 12 categories in the year.! lol. My pile of library books is as high as ever,and the online TBR list is....well I stopped counting when it got in the 80's.At least I am always spoilt for choice! ;0) Take care x

    Hey Linda! Seeing that you're now reading Curious Incident jogged my memory! I read it several years ago but it wasn't on my shelf. When I joined here I tried to add as many books as I could remember reading but I know there were tonnes I left out. Oh well, perhaps over time some will come back to me like this one! Hope you're well and not too overwhelmed by study.

    Same to you! I didn't realise there was a book either, will have to check it out someday.

    Studies are done!! What a relief, and there will be no more of that for quite some time I can tell you! How are you studies going? Are you on a break at the moment?

    I'm now back at work after the short xmas/new years break unfortunately. Just wasn't long enough, but did do some serious R&R which was nice.

    Hope all is well with you.

    Hey Linda hope you're well. I see you're reading the Nevending Story. I've never read it, but have seen the movie more times than I can remember - just love it! One of my alltime faves.

    I just bought Hunger Games on my Nook! I have never been a YA reader, but I was so surprised by Harry Potter that I thought I'd give this other big-seller a try. I hope you have a great holiday season, too! I bought sooooooooooo many books for my son for Christmas--and a few early chapter readers for my 3yo daughter. It's going to be a big day. :)

    Did you like 'The Painted Veil?' I loved the Edward Norton movie and have been meaning to see the original movie and read the book.

    Hey Linda!! Long time no speak. I see you're reading "The Help" - you must let me know what you think. I really enjoyed this book, and also thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was a bit of a slower starter for me but once I got into it I was hooked!

    My son gets all these books and wants to start them RIGHT NOW!! Just last night I finally told him we have to finish the ones we've started before moving on. He's reading 'Bunnicula' with his dad, and I get to read the two you mentioned. I'm loving Harry Potter, and find Riordan really interesting. We're still pretty early on, but my fav parts right now are the Chapter headings--Jake really cracks up!

    Thanks for the review. Jake and I are on to the second book and he's still hooked! That's saying a lot for a 6yo and no pictures. I have to tackle C&P again. I tried once and failed. But I love Russian lit! What are you studying at Michigan?

    I see you just finished DeMille (one of my absolute favorite authors) and are reading some Dostoyevsky. Talk about a complete change of pace! I LOVE Russian lit.

    It has been a while! A year by the looks of this page. Wow, time flies!

    I'm reading it to my son, who is almost 6. But I'm loving every word and surprised by the quality of the text! I think you're right--addicted!

    Cool, glad you're enjoying it. I wasn't so much disapppointed with it, I guess I just love Shadow so much that I had higher expectations for it. It was good and I did enjoy it. I may read Hedgehog next, will have to see how the mood strikes me. :) I do also want to read Mockingjay while Cathching Fire is still fresh in my mind as well.

    Looking forward to Prime Numbers and Hedgehog after your glowing reviews. :) Also, I see you're reading the Angel's Game. Let me know what you think. I think Shadow of the Wind is such a hard act to follow unfortunately for Zafon. I did enjoy Angel's Game, but it's certainly not one I could read again and again and does not make my list of Favourites.

    Just looking up at your shelf, I see you have The Road on your reading list. I have this at the moment from the library, was thinking about giving it a go soon so we may be able to compare notes on that one too! Funny how our books are crossing paths so much lately.

    Hey Linda! I see you've added Room, you will have to tell me what you think. I had that for my local book club last year and could not get into it! Not my thing at all, so I only read a few chapters and stopped.
    Also, I bought the Elegance of the Hedgehog recently - we should read together and discuss!

    Just finished Shadowfever. Wow! I have never read a book that had me exclaiming "Oh my God!" every other page! It amazes me how she was able to get so many shockers in one book!! Feel kind of lost now . . . . I don't want it to be over.
