Inseparable, me and my book.

8. The Girls - Lori Lansens
Awesome. Really takes you into the characters. Not much in way of plot, but really feels... real. And anything with something as rare as craniophagus twins is always gonna lure me in :D

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

86. Waitressing, at the agriculture show. Check.

89. Strawberry picking. That's manual, right?

Update

13. I've been invited on a 21st birthday ski/snowboard trip in January, but I think it's gonna clash with exams and a dip in finances. Might have to settle for Milton Keynes...

33. Signed up to donate blood, and I have an appointment for the end of the month! Dad is going too, so I have no excuse to back out. I am TERRIFIED.

54. Totally gutted - the flatmates did this at 4am in the North Sea the night after I moved out!

61. Stood with one foot in Scotland, and one in England! I think that counts :) Might try to reachieve this with a more exotic location, however...

68. So damn close! Two 19's... :(

71. Han and I were both at a party on Saturday night, and were mutually civil. We have since exchanged brief text messages, to establish that neither of us is pissed at the other, just that it's been a long time since we talked. Progress!

74. I'm off! Last tab was on Friday! Now to stay off...

Fiery

In respect to recent comments about my increasingly short fuse, I now have the hair to match - dark red. Yesterday it just looked like I'd taken a weak pink highlighter to my blonde streaks (all natural!), but today, after a second dose, there are actual red bits! Of course, it'll all be back to mouse by the weekend, but it sure was fun to experiment.

All perfectly in time for freaking the Mother out when she comes to collect me in a few days.

Jet black next, methinks...

My booklist has never expanded so quickly. Until next summer.

7. I Saw You First - Cindy Blake
Very character oriented, rather than plot. Few psychological nutcases in there, but some reasonables - Declan, Christina. Erm - plot. American self help book, needs advertising in UK. Bed swaps a plenty (non-raunchily). Character growth and recession. Blah. Not entirely recommended.

So long as doctoring doesn't involve book reviews, I think my future is cool.

Summer pages

6. Wish You Were Here - Mike Gayle
Perfect summer read, male protagonist, readable while still twisty. Loved it. Now excuse me, for I must return to my sunshine...

Sun, check. Shorts, check. Good book, check.

Why are all the main protagonists in the books I read women? Does this make me a feminist? Just wait til I get my hands on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

5. This Is How It Happened - Jo Barrett
Read it all in one morning (312 pages). Lots of neat twists, out of the ordinary yet not complete unbelievable fantasy. Loved Maddy's kick-ass-ness (after Carlton ditches her). Kwirky ;)
