I have but I need to post them] "What I loved", great. Another one I sped through was "The Time Traveller's Wife". I'll get around to this one day!!!
Hope to know more about Dom's operation this weekend. The dr is taking the cast off to xray it and to see whether he needs to put it back on again. Fingers crossed. He'll hopefully tell us when he wants to do the next op. Her half term is in 2 weeks and she really needs a break (and I fancy a holiday - don't really need one !).Read Alexander St. about a year ago and really liked it, as you say, good old fashioned writing. That's why I was so disappointed with The Sunday Philosopher's Club. It was so boring. Thanks for the comments about the Dragon Tattoo. Have just finished The Inheritance of Loss - a "clever" book ie intellectual but I did enjoy it in a funny way. Not everyone's cup of tea though.Let's try and skype tomorrow. Big hug.
Interesting - I've just bought The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Several friends recommended it. You gave it 4 stars so it can't be that bad ! Looks like good holiday reading ?
The photo? Not really sure how I did that. Maybe in your profile. Yeah it's nice cus you can't see my face!!I'm reading Yasmina Khadra "Ce que le jour doit a la nuit". Really good. I have a few 'hot' ones waiting (not that I need them for crying out loud!) on my night table. I'll send them on to you (after Emmanuelle reads them that is)...
