What the postman brought 10



  • Asking for trouble- Elizabeth Young and Noughts and Crosses -Malorie Blackman...I got these two as swaps from RISI but I can not remember why they were on my wishlist!

  • Roseanne season 2- I got this for the hapy childhood memories it provokes

Gail Porter Laid Bare


I was not expecting much from this autobiography as I've read so much crap recently from this over saturated market. But was pleasantly surprised at how good this book was. It was an easy honest read, which portrayed Gail as a like able lady with demons to fight. It was really painful to read about her attempted suicide and battles with depression.

James Patterson - Violets are Blue


I am a huge James Patterson fan, look forward to every one of his books. I am not naive to think his books are high art, I realise they are what they are i.e. very enjoyable, familiar fluff. But this was truly terrible and left me disappointed. As a character I admire Alex cross and enjoy reading about his latest cases. But this vampire case he worked on was downright bizarre and unrealistic.
