It has some great reviews and the premise seems promising. After trying to trudge though 'The Sealed Letter' I'm hoping this will keep me hooked and happy!

Congratulations! When are you getting married? My 5th (!) wedding anniversary is on the 14th. We went to Bali for 3 weeks and the final Harry Potter was released while we were there so I got a copy and read it. Not sure what else I read. You've got some umm bizarre choices ;)
Lol I like to think its an ecclectic mix! We get married on the 29th July eek. We have been together 7 and a half years and lived together for 6 years so not sure how much will change... Just alot to plan. Will be nice to chill and read!

I've bought this one from Amazon recently
it was a signed copy too, which was a nice surprise :) I've spoken to Graham Joyce in the past, he's a very nice guy. Read most of his books too and always been impressed. This one sounds very intriguing, just need to find a window in my reading diary! ... can't wait to start it.
Recieved my books today and did the happy book dance. I sniffed them and my OH told me I was like Lisa Simpson and a bit of a geek. I love getting new books!Flicked quickly through the photographic part of Helter Skelter which was very interesting (if you're into looking into murderers psyche)

and
for the two Sookie short stories I've not read yet.

, and
because this is the only series of hers I haven't started, and I'm curious to see what it's like. As you can imagine, I was really excited to read on Charlaine's blog that she's starting a new series. I honestly can't wait to see what she does next.

this was one of our nominations for the Australasia read ... it looks just up my alley.Oh and also this one
which is a bit of a gothic classic and it's been on my to-read list for ages. Hope to get round to them soon.

I hope you enjoy it, Sam. I can't wait to here what you think of Joshua lol :)
I just bought 11 books from my amazon wishlist, because they've been there for ages. That's all but cleared it for now -- there are just three pre-orders still on it at the moment. I have to say, I've probably got enough books to keep me going for at least the next year or two now, so I'll definetly have to join in the TBR challenge again next year :)
Anyway, I got:
The Help
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Fahrenheit 451
1Q84: Books 1 and 2
1Q84: Book Three
Bring up the Bodies
NW
Phantom
The Bat
Fallen in Love
The Prisoner of Heaven

last week so we can read together. I really need to get a move on with the notebook, haven't started Fevre Dream ye..."aww, thank you Sam!. It was only a couple of pounds, though, so it doesn't matter. I've been AWOL again, as I've just started a new job. It seems to take me a couple of weeks to re-establish my free time/reading habits, but I think I'm there now. Anyway, feel free to send me a message when you fancy giving Gerald's Game a go.

from Amazon. I've had a difficult couple of weeks at work, and so felt like I deserved a treat. It's not like I need any more books atm, but they do cheer me up lol
I have recently bought 'the woman who went to bed for a year' and 'happily ever after' for some light relief reading :)
Mod
My brother who reads 1 book per year on his holiday has told me I MUST read 'Rivers of London' and Mark Gatiss' books 'The Lucifer set' so has lent me the books, am liking Ro L so far.

I'm reading Farenheit 451 this month too. It was chosen as the group read in a sci-fi challenge group I'm in and I'm really looking forward to it. I've read some of Bradbury's short stories and was completely blown away by them, so I reckon this should be amazing.
