I don't get much chance to read at the moment, but seeing as for the past week my Facebook news feed has been constantly filled with references to Mr Grey and it seems to be the topic of choice amongst the mums in the school playground I decided I had to see what all the fuss was about and download a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey .

Well what can I say, Mr Grey is very naughty :oops: and they are planning on making this into a film! :oops: :red: 8O :blink:
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

didnt think people read Archers anymore. Salmons a good book, but the film makes it feel a bit padded.

Just finished Department 19: The Rising, almost cried when I found that the third one isnt out till March next year :'(
Turns out I was reading it that furiously that my kindle broke...(got a replacement though) so I had to finish reading the rest on my tablet(lucky the bf gave it me early!)

MR.G, I was on the ball with skullduggery pleasant and you! I IMPLORE you to read this book! Department 19> Department 19: The rising.
I demand you do!

I have been reading the "Pretty Little Liars" series. First few were pretty easy reads but now onto number 5 book Killers and its getting boring.

I've also read the first few in the "Weather Wardens" hard to get into the series but by book 3 I was hooked, going back to them after finished pretty little liars.

I also read the first in the Gone series by Micheal Grant as it was recommended to me by a friend, it was pretty good and apparently being made into a film however I don't know how true that is. But I will probably read the rest of the series at some point as I like to read the wholes series of things lol

You have very similar tastes to me! I've read all PLL books, but not in a row just when they came out but I do agree they become repetitive/boring.

I've not read Weather Warden but I love that author's other series: The Morganville Vampires.

And I've read the Gone series too which is pretty good (though I think the Maze Runner trilogy, which is similar, is a lot better).
