All Consuming : miaow

This book really drew me in. But, in my opinion, it is severely compromised by it’s last few chapters. It feels like everything is tidied up far too quickly and far too predictably – it felt to me like the author was just tired of the whole thing. I was so disappointed in it, because I had enjoyed it up until that point. Oh well, maybe EG is still getting her form back after the disaster that was ‘What Came Before He Shot Her’.

How "Seventh Tree" changed my life

Seventh Tree

by Goldfrapp

I will always listen to this album and remember the first six months after my baby was born. We played ‘Happiness’ and ‘Caravan Girl’ as we danced her around to get her off to sleep. I think I will always feel a little bit soppy whenever I hear anything from this album. I love it.

Stargazing: Memoirs of a Young Lighthouse Keeper

by Peter Hill

This is a great book, but I have just not managed to read anything this year. This is what comes of going and getting pregnant…I will get back to it though. Maybe when she sleeps more than two hours in a row.

DUPLICATE #1

by Duplicate of http://allconsuming.net/item/asin/0375725784

Yeah, I liked this book. I kept going with it, even though I’ve only read two books this year (this is the second). I used to read a book a week. Then I had a baby. Ha! I did have to kind of speed read a few chunks of this because some of it just blathered on and I zoned out…

Nancy Wake: A Biography of Our Greatest War Heroine

by Peter Fitzsimons

A bit of an airport read – I found the style of writing slightly on the schlocky side, but still very interesting to read about life in France during World War II.

Peter Robinson doesn’t ever let me down. This is a great Banks novel.

The Moon and the Melodies

by Budd

I bought this on vinyl back when I was about 18. I used to listen to it when I was in the bath, or when I was studying. Haven’t had a turntable for years, but I now have it on my iPod and I think it’s going to be the soundtrack to the waterbirthing of PartyPie…

Big Love - The Complete First Season

by Sarah Pia Anderson

It’s good. It’s intriguing. It didn’t take over my whole existence like Six Feet Under but I did enjoy it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)

by J. K. Rowling

I read it yesterday. I devoted the whole day to it, and it was worth the wait!! I’d listened to all the previous books read by Stephen Fry, but being able to curl up with this was great. Highly recommended. I have closure.

A story about "Step Up"

Step Up

by Anne Fletcher

So bad. SO bad. So trite. So obvious and predictable. All I wanted was some eye candy kind of chick flick to watch while at home with a cold. OK, so the guy in it is kind of cute, in a thuggy bruised kind of way, but PLOT? HELLO? Rachel Griffiths must have really needed the money to bother with this…
Grrrr.

A story about "Enduring Love"

Enduring Love

by Ian McEwan

It took me f.o.r.e.v.e.r to get into this book. I probably read two other books while still dipping in and out of the first 80 pages. But finally it swept me away and I became drawn in and desperate to know how it was all going to pan out. One of the reasons that I read this was that so many other people had said how good it was, and I was determined to persevere. I’m glad I did.

Why I gave up consuming "Dead Sexy: A Novel"

Dead Sexy: A Novel

by Kathy Lette

It’s just too dreary. I had read a few of her earlier novels and they were funny – this was just too heavy on the one liners and the plot was lame.
