I have finished The Secret Scripture - it was good, very nicely writen but the story did not blow me away!
Now starting Just Another Kid By Torey Heyden - this is the first Torey Heyden book I have read/about to read, but so far its good, her writing keeps you reading, but could see most of her books being very similar! My friend bought me it for my christmas.
You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
The wolf Of Wallstreet - Jordan Belfort
One of the best books ive ever read, having worked in the industry before now, this guy managed to scam literally millions, and waxed it on coke, hookers and a new lifestyle. good read :)
Just read 'Scarred' - Sophie Andrews. It was ok. Nothing special, tbh. I feel like as a book, it wasn't amazingly well written or anything, and the only reason so many people seem to like it is the subject matter and the 'strength' of the author [which I'm not denying. Just doesn't make it a great book].
Now going to read 'The Abortionist's Daughter' - Elisabeth Hyde.
I'm finally getting around to reading 'Breaking Dawn' - borrowed from my housemate. I quite enjoyed Eclipse after the let down of New Moon so I'm hoping this will be a good one aswell
"Everything is possible through Christ, who gives me strength". Phillipians 4:13
Just finished Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I never get tired of that book, no matter how often I re-read it!
I'm about 60 pages into The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath - I heard some really good things about it and it seems pretty interesting so far.
I'm currently reading 'Bloodletting' by Victoria Leathham, I thought It would be terrible but I read over 100pages last night and I haven't picked up a book in about a year so it can't be *that* bad!

Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
I am reading 'The Hours' and thinking it's good. It's quite an achievemnt actually, I haven't read anything fiction beyond a few pages in about a year due to my bad concentration. So I'm very happy and enjoying it. :)
The Mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated. By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spell-bound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea.
Wind in the Willows.

smile, your beautiful
if someone hates you, be proud that youve done something worthwhile enough for them to disaprove of
Just read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. For the most part it was very good - decent (if stereotypically dystopian) story, very well written, the protagonist was flawed, complex and sympathetic (though everyone else was pretty one-dimensional). It could have been great, but it had one of the worst, laziest endings I've read in a long time. It was barely a step above "all just a dream".
Currently reading Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett, because we all need a little Discworld in our lives now and then. One of the best in the series, so far.
After I'm done with that, Fornication: The Red Hot Chili Peppers Story, because I love a good rock biography.
