Let me know what you think.. I thought the film was pish too, in fact I slept most of the way through it in the cinema but I was considering giving the books a go.

I've got the first LOTR book sitting in the cupboard, not tried reading it yet. It's very intimidating.

The books are great, though slow paced by today's standards and its in 3rd person omnipresent which is annoying, in my opinion. Still amazing though, the world is so vivid and laid out brillaintly.

I'm reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver and I'm really enjoying it so far. The book is set in a dystopian US where love is regarded as the deadliest illness known to man, and so at the age of 18, everyone undergoes a procedure to be 'cured' of amor deliria nervosa (the clinical name for love in the book).

I'm not that far into it at the moment but like I said, I'm really enjoying it thus far.

And the latest book I'm reading is Ash by Malinda Lo


It's based on the Cinderella story, and it's very enjoyable

I finished Delirium earlier. I really enjoyed it. The book lulled a bit in parts but for the most part it was a good read.

I've moved onto the sequel (Pandemonium) now.

I've been reading a lot lately. These are all the books I've read since Christmas.

Game of Thrones - Really good.
The True Blood books (ALL ELEVEN OF THEM)- Don't judge me s0b. Easy to read and fun, I pretty much breezed through each one in one sitting.
Warm Bodies - I loved this book so much, I'd highly recommend it. It's just such an interesting plot and the execution of it is superb.
Son of the Witch - It's good so far although it's not really grabbed me as much as Wicked did.

One Shot by Lee Child. Film version has just came out with Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher) so thought I'd read it beforehand. Its very good so far.

After that I'll probably start the Game of Thrones books.

I'm reading Across The Face Of The World, and it's ok, I was expecting it to be really interesting, but it's just so-so. I'm almost finished, but I don't really care enough for the story to read the next part.
