Finished 1984 a while ago, reading another Orwell book now but a biographical one; Homage to Catalonia, it's about his experiences fighting in the Spanish Civil War

Just finished From Notting Hill, With Love Actually which was light and predictable but quite good. Just started Secrets She Left Behind by Diane Chamberlain, which is all death and problems so bit of a difference.

I absolutely love The Naked Lunch. It's obscene, isn't it? But astonishing at the same time.
Am just finishing Ghost Light by Joseph O'Connor. Brilliant, just brilliant. Anyone who loved Star of the Sea should pick it up fast.

Journey Through Llandor by Louise Lawrence



It's ok, it's like Narnia so in that respect it's enchanting, but the writing could be better. Anyway I intend to read the next two parts after this.

I picked up That They May Face The Rising Sun during the week. Completely forgot until I got to page four that I read lt last year. I'm really not old enough for this kind of thing to be happening to me

finished Kafka...had some really boring stories towards the end but the majority were nice.

Currently reading Romeo + Juliet. Have that, King Lear, Measure for Measure, Hamlet, Macbeth and another one I've forgotten to get through.

Finished this one, was sooooo good. Now reading The One Before The One by Katy Regan, I'm varying between frothy and light books and dark and heavy books.

Just about finished The Road to Irriyan



Tomorrow I'm gonna start the last part, Shadow of Mordican



In a way I'm really looking forward to finishing this trilogy as there are a couple of other books I want to get stuck into.

Desire by Louise Bagshawe. It's not that great, I wanted to reread Harry Potter but saving that until I'm avoiding Twitter/Tumblr because of tour spoilers.

LOL PJ - I remember finding one of my mum's trashy novels when I was about 14 and found myself channelling a 40-something singleton who loves cats and wine. In fact, I find myself channelling that every day but still.

Currently reading: The Taming of the Shrew

Nothing is ever as bad as Jodie Marsh's book.
