Just finished No Time For Goodbye by Lynwood Barclay. Great read, couldn't recommend it enough. Don't know what to read next. Visit to the library, methinks.

Jenny Tomlin - Sweetie

It's about a community and all of the kids are being brutually raped and/or murdered by some man in the community. It's pretty graphic but I think it's a really interesting read, and I'm not halfway through yet.

I hate it because I think my mind is so obsessed with celebrities and other stuff, I never actually read, all I read is Internet articles and gossip magazines, but I never sit myself down and read a book which is rather disappointing. It's weird because I really used to love reading and then I just went off of it and never started again.

I don't read as much as I wish I did.

At the moment, I'm re-reading John Barrowman - Anything Goes, his autobiography for the fourth time :\

Funnily enough... I was going to make a thread like this the other day.

Im currently reading Stanislavksi's books, I have an utter rubbish attention span but I am so interested in these books, literally every paragraph is Legendary. The man is a Legend.

If you dont know Stan is a Director and Actor, and the books are notes of one of his students from when he used to teach. It was stan who created naturalistic acting... like Emmerdale and Coronation street. A very smart man.

I love the Wicked Book I do, it's one of my favourites! I haven't read this one though.

Currently I'm reading Twilight, which seems a bit mushy but I'll keep reading it to see if it gets better and another book called Battle Royale which is what the film was adapted from. It's an amazing book I'd reccomend it.

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt.

I'm on my fourth read of this book, even though it's really sad. It's so well written and it's an interesting story. It's about his childhood and growing up in Ireland.
