That's probably fair comment! It was the narration which reminded me of Pushing Daises. I don't have my copy with me at the moment to give you a specific example, but the way the narrator talks the reader through what is happening is exactly the way the narration is done on the show. When I...

Did you enjoy it?

Sorry for the delay in replying, my poor laptop finally gave up the digital ghost... So now I have a brand new one and I am just setting it up! Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks, thats really helpful I'll give that a try. Everything is backed-up, and my virus protection is also updated regularly, so not sure what happened, but I guess you can't be 100% protected. I'll let you know how I get on. :flowers:

What sort of thing to you enjoy reading?

I agree, I was stunned that anyone could stick to a list like that for an entire year.

I have a healthy TBR pile (like most people here!) which I tend to choose my next book from. Occasionally I will know what I am reading next before I have finished my current book, but I don't plan any more than that. A friend of mine told me today that he plans his years reading in January and...
