Book Club: My sister's keeper

Again, something very different. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, extremeley moving and gripping. I wish there was no swearing in it (and any other books for that matter) but I guess the way caracters speak unfolds their personality better. I was pretty emotional througout the book being a mother and a sister myself. I loved the sotry but I found it a bit distracting having to think where in time things were happening. You don't only have to keep on eye whos eyes you're looking at the story but also where in time you are and within that is it present or past. it worked out well, but that made it s bit caotic.
I am goint to the pictures this Thursday to see the film version, we'll see how it measures up.

Book club: A certain slant of light

It took me two goes to get started on this book. Once it got going I got into it and didn't take long to finish it. It was an OK book. I did like the concept of the ghosts cleaving to their hosts and the moving into them, but I don't think the details of it was thought out properly I felt that it needed more explanation. Also she could have done so much more with the caracters, I would have liked to get to know them better. And the finish was very disapointing for me again I think she has rushed it a bit. I wouldn't recomend it as a great read, but it is interresting if you have nothing else to read at the moment.

I couldn't wait this year for the start of the growing season. Finally it has arrived and I got stuck in. I am growing now leeks, spinach, onions, beetroot, sprouts and raddish which I have already harvested and I must say it was just heavenly. Here is the proof of my hard labour.
