So I was browsing Amazon.co.uk and a Dutch online shopping site in the hope to find some new books and came across the books of Tom Holt. From the short explanation of several of those books, they seem quite hilarious. But since those things are supposed to make people think so, I thought I'd ask you. So can any of you tell me more about this ( Read more... )

Well, that hasn't happened in a long time. I actually read two books in four days. Which now puts me at the start of Dresden 8. The fact that I had number 7 in e-book format as well as the paperback (thank you for that, e-book provider ;)), did a lot to help that :P So hooked right now. Don't even feel like watching tv or anything else. And ( Read more... )

Well, decided to just continue the Dresden files series after all. In any case, the only person who answered my questions as to what to read lately, was enigel and I knew what she would say :P So now decided to first continue this until book eleven and only then start on something else. I prefer to read a series one after the other anyway, if possible.

I'm so enjoying the new computer. I got another keyboard which makes the typing a bit easier, but it's still not the perfect keyboard so I may get another one if I find one which I'd be totally happy about. I've been watching quite a few Bleach episodes already and am enjoying myself immensely. I still got a lot of catching up to do, but will get ( Read more... )

't Was a very tiring Friday evening and Saturday. In compensation, spent the day outside lazying today. Got a bit of sunburn and the book I was reading is finished. I had promised myself to reread a Discworld book, but now I'm hesitating because I still have so many unread new books. And if I pick a new one after all, I have no idea which one to go ( Read more... )

I've got the afternoon off, because Alby's teachers asked for people who would come and read from their favourite childhood book. Now my favourite childhood book I couldn't find immediately, so I picked Roald Dahl's 'BFG'. I'm a bit nervous and hope I won't make too many mistakes. Got a sore throat because I've got somewhat of a cold, so the ( Read more... )

I think I’m having some sort of winter blues or something. In general, I’m enjoying the approaching of all the festivities at the end of the year and the busy times that we’re having, on the other hand I sometimes have these moments where I’m suddenly extremely sad. Also had a moment today where suddenly I couldn’t stand my colleagues annoying me ( Read more... )

First of all, sorry for not replying to stuff, but life is hectic. I counted my free weekends until the end of the year and I'm left with one Friday evening, one Saturday evening and two Sundays in which nothing is planned. Argh ( Read more... )

I finished Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris yesterday evening, as was my goal. ( Tiny review here )

During the course of a busy day with lots of phone calls at work, I managed to lose most of my voice. Was hesitating about going to class but since I won't be going next week on account of being on holidays, I decided I should attempt it after all and am glad I did. I'm deadly tired right now, but maybe I'll sleep well for a change ( Read more... )
