If you search for Micha in the search box. Click on people, he definately has two profiles! Sneaky sneaky!!
He just joined my group again!! Even though last time I removed him it said he was blocked from joining in the future?? Maybe he changes his name or joins under a different name to keep spamming. I gave him the boot before he had the chance this time!!
That sounds an interesting book Mel :P I don't know how people are reading so quickly either!! I'm on book three and thought I was doing well!
Hoooray!!! Kick his ass!!
If Lori removes him from the group he can't actually join again. I had to do this with my group to stop his spam! Sir Spamalot I think I refered to him as :P
Lindsey said: Jenny, don't forget to watch the movie version of L'Amant/The Lover!
It's already gone on my blockbuster rental list :)

I'm glad my ticker suggestion has gone down well. They all look so cute :)
Those are my choices Fiona! Scary!!
For number 1 in the 5 point task is Alice in Wonderland ok?
Good luck everyone!
Hmmm Sci Fi is an idea I don't think I've read a sci fi book ever! Any suggestions?
Lindsey said: Jenny, I highly recommend L'Amant by Duras. Then afterwards, watch the movie, it's really good.
Is L'Amant the same as The Lover? Or am I just being tres thick :P Anyhow I managed to find The Lover in my favourite Oxfam book shop :)
Some of these 25 pointers are toughies! I had Judith to pick from in Angela's task and as she has over 2000 books I found a few books that are on my bookshelf at home. Thanks Judith :)
