    I was lucky enough to recieve Terry Pratchetts 'The Truth'. The only problem was that it ended. I need something to fill the void it left. I tried 'Life, The Universe And Everything' but it's just not the same.

    As for buying something for myself I picked up a copy of 'Legends' while in Chapters on Friday. Haven't got round to reading it yet though.

    Pointed to the books I wanted, in the bookshop, and Herself bought them for me for christmas :-)
    She is really sweet


    Batavia's Graveyard - Mike Dash (absolutely brilliant)
    Family Feud - Anthony Galvin (bit of a muddle, but give you an insight as where not to go in Limerick :)
    Blow Fly - Patricia Cornwell (this is the last Scarpetta book I am going to read, she is starting to bore)
    Chickenhawk - Robert Mason (I read this a while ago, but it was not my copy, and I felt I needed to have my own copy on the bookshelf)
    Anne Frank: the diary of a young girl. - Anne Frank I saw a program about research into who betrayed the Frank family, that made me aware that I have never read this courageous girl's diary.
