She's not the best author on the planet, by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, the first book of the Dark Hunter series had me cringing the entire time I was reading it, but there was just something - something I couldn't put my finger on - that kept me reading Fantasy Lover (not my usual...

I think the likes of here - and other serious book forums - that's the opinion you will see mostly. It's when you venture out onto the likes of FB, or areas where people aren't quite as (this is going to sound really snobbish, and isn't quite how I mean it so I hope you know what I'm meaning)...

I have a theory on this actually :D It all goes to the hype-machine that is the media and the fact that most people are sheep. The media goes into a frenzy drumming into peoples heads that something must be read, is fantastic, cannot be ignored. Consider the fact that the book has actually...

Not until I'd finished the chapter I was reading :D

Nothing... nothing... comes between me and whatever I'm reading :D

I can read anywhere. I don't suffer motion sickness at all, thankfully!

Me either. Never.. I just can't do it.

I wish I could say the same. So many people I know love the books, unfortunately.

My eldest daughter (she's just turned 11) is an avid reader, which I heartily promote. I don't restrict her reading, but I will occasionally suggest to her that a book she's considering may not be what she will be comfortable with (if there are explicit sex scenes and suchlike). Thankfully...

It really depends on your daughter's interests. My 11 year old daughter is a zombie fanatic (even writes zombie short stories) and has a higher reading age than her actual age so enjoys books that are written for people older than her. (She's a huge fan of World War Z). When she is in the...

This just reminded me of a favourite historical fiction book that I really need to revisit - The Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George. I read it a few years ago and the richness of the story and how much research George put into it was fantastic. Yeah, definitely need to go reread that one!

Sleepy. Need more coffee!

Can't do anything without the image :D

What format is the image saved in? Would you share the image and the colours you want (hex values preferably) and I can take a look later this evening for you, if you want.

As others have said, I found the Harry Potters books very overrated, I also find the huge love for Twilight and 50 Shades to be beyond my understanding. I've never read such rubbish in my life before listening to a friend and putting myself through the pain of those two particular books.

Heh... Oh I'm very opinionated myself. It's why I take the time to get the feel for a community before getting involved. Some communities just can't cope with opinionated people :D

Thanks :)

Thanks Brent :)

A long long loooooong time lurker (I'm sure I had an account a few years ago but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was or what email address I used) but decided to reregister after discovering someone I know from elsewhere now owns the site. Have loved reading through the posts here for...
