What am I reading - one sentence over and over again.  Mind too active with other things I guess. |

| Just finished Three Weeks to Say Goodbye by C J Box. Didn't really like it as I am not a fan of American crime. Now have to read Love and Summer by William Trevor by 27th September, but I am enjoying it so far. |

Me too! And the third in that set, Journey to the South. I have it somewhere if you'd like to borrow it Karen, but it's a set I think I'd like to keep. This one is about her travels to Morrocco/Algiers |

I cannot read at the moment, my head just doesn't want to do it! Back on the knitting for a bit.
Karen-I am going to post your book back to you as I don't think I will read it any time soon, so can you PM me your new address please?

| Gwen, I've just noticed you have The Gates cover up - are you/have you read this one? I was just putting it on my list for a Halloween/Firework night book for one of the boys, thought it sounded good. |

I meant to post that I was reading it now, but forgot.
I started it last night and laughed through most of the first chapter.
I didn't realise that is it 'a strange novel for strange young people'.  It has started with a lot of scientific facts in the story about the beginning of the universe and about the CERN experiment etc. Its really good so far and I think it looks like a book my 11 year old Grandson will enjoy.
