Finished Doomed Love by Virgil and have started The Long War by Pratchett and Baxter. It's the second one and I was surprised by how many names I've forgotten.

Watched Kick Ass 2, can't believe it was only a 15. Very good though, I loved the first one too.

Finished Girl Reading which I really enjoyed. There was something about the writing, it flowed nicely.
Have started Doomed Love by Virgil and I've somehow managed to read a quarter without taking anything in, not sure whether to stop and try something else or carry on and hope for the best.

I've just finished Girl Reading. Which are shot stories about pictures of girls/women reading. I enjoyed the writing style a lot.

I've been reading Led Miserables since before Christmas and I'm still only half way through. I've been thinking of admitting defeat and taking the bookmark out but I just can't quite do it!
Otherwise I still have Sherlock Homes on my shelf, so that will be 7 or 8 years now!

Managed to finish Firestarter and am now reading Girl Reading by Katie Ward. Enjoying it so far.

My Book People order arrived on Friday so I'm trying to get through Firestarter - Stephen King. I don't think it's one of his best, there are are few plot holes that have had me rolling my eyes but it's not bad enough to stop reading it though.

I feel proudly responsible for the increase in your TBR list.
The only annoying thing is that they use Yodel as their delivery company -
- they did lose the last order of mine, but The Book People re-sent it via a different company with no quibbling. Once you sign up to their newsletters, they email regularly, and every few weeks they do free p&p, which is worth holding out for, imo. 
C`mon, what books did you get ?
I will write them on the book activity thread so I won't take over yours.

Thanks to reading about The Book People in this thread I went on there. I've spent £26.98 and I'm getting 32 books!! And it's free p&p over £25! Bargain!
