I read Room recently and thought it was brilliant, I literally couldn't put it down. I liked the way it was all written from the little boys point of view.
I'm halfway through The Baby whisperer as I've just got ten days to go (well, hopefully less!) until baby arrives. I've got Judi Dench's autobiography to read next which I hope will be good too

I was the same Nicola (you are Nicola, yes?) The end of the first half had my heart racing and palms sweating and i knew that if I put it down I would be up all night wondering what happened!

I think I may have to borrow this book Lou to get me back into reading. I need a good one to kickstart me.

Jenn 'Room' is written by Emma Donoghue and it is brilliant. I borrowed Lous copy and then bought myself the book so I can read it again.

The Girl in the Mirror is new. It's a very small book though and has two stories in it. Good read though as usual for her.
