Well I am a third of the way through and not really enjoying it, not my type of book. However I will persevere it may get better.

I would be interested to know if the film of Water for Elephants is anything like the book. I have given up on films made from books - they are so different from the book - and "Anne of Green Gables - the Later Years" was the last straw for me. That destroyed any desire I may have to see a film made from a book, ever again.

I have got it. Water for Elephants is now in my possession. Collected from Birmingham Central Library today (Saturday).

Looking forward to reading it.

Have got Monday Mourning from Library. Also requested Water for Elephants at the same time.
Checked with them on Thursday but Water for Elephants is in great demand - as a film has now come out (according to the librarian). I am now fourth on the waiting list. Hope to get it in a couple of weeks or so.

Thanks for the message, Perse. Sorry, Ann. Yes, I've order the two favoured books. Might take a week to 10 days, depending on stock, but they have accepted the order for both.

Right Monday Mourning is an easy one, it has been sitting on the floor under the table since it came home from a shopping mall trip (I am terrible for intending to put things away and have to have a big clean up every so often). Will see if I have time for two, not sure on that front at the moment.

OK ordered for my Kindle. Water for Elephants and That Summer affair. The Kathy Reichs is not available for Kindle.

If neither of these books really really appeal to you (and I am struggling myself here). Please read That Summer affair and/or the Help. I promised myself and told you that I have to read some of the books on my shelf. I shall read the John Grisham that we said we'd also read if we could for Bridget (although she didn't read it either Lol) last time. I will then read at least one of the top four , whichever I can get on the Kindle. If theya re not on Kindle I probably wont read. I did say all this when I asked if anyone else wanted to relieve me of the thread Lol. :D :D :D :D
