I can't believe little Miss is already 4 months old! On Tuesday we have more immunisations booked in. Yuck! It is the last thing I want to do. I hate getting needles myself let alone watching someone else get them and it will be harder still watching my daughter.
It must be a year and a half ago now (maybe even two) since I decided to read a few books. One of my friends had forwarded some message on facebook with the BBC Big Read http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml so I decided to read them all. I have just picked books off the list randomly. Re-reading them if I had read them in the past. I need to count how many I am up to. I finally finished one a couple of weeks ago (my first since having little Miss) I was quite impressed with the achievement. I have read more than thirty now. For some reason I decided to go back to the top of the list. I was so disappointed that Lord of the Rings is part of a Trilogy (why isn't it 3 books on the list? when there are some of the Harry Potter books but not all and they are listed separately?). Anyway, I finally finished the lot of them and had already read Pride and Prejudice so next to read was His Dark Materials, which I had never heard of before and low and behold if it isn' another trilogy! It certainly isn't an easy way to get through the list, instead of reading only two books I have to read six to cross two off. I am so not impressed, however, I will feel great once I have got through them.
I actually really enjoyed Lord of the Rings and I am not really into Si-Fi. I am quite interested in seeing the movies now too, although Tolkien is so descriptive in the novels that I think the movie might be a let down... It is funny how many of these books are movies. I guess that will be my next challenge. I wonder how old little Miss will be when I finally finish all the books?
Well that is enough for tonight of my random, disjointed post.
