50 shades of Pern

I, oh reader, am a hopeless book lover. I have everything from watership down to American psycho, redwall to belle de jour, I just love to read! At the moment I'm simultaneously reading the new E. L. James Grey and Anne McCaffrey The Skies Of Pern, two books from different genres and yet I am enjoying both! If you are unaware of either tomes, I'll give a brief description.

 

Grey: a spin off from the original 50 shades of grey that shot to fame a few years back, Grey is written from the perspective of Christian, and his views on the relationship between him and ana, the style of writing, to me, is more calculating, not so open and innocent as the original trilogy from ana's perspective, a darn good read though if you like books with sex, BDSM and shouty capitals!

 

The Skies of Pern: one in a long series of books about the dragon riders of a small world called Pern and their fight against the deadly fall of thread, a silvery rain that burns through everything bar water, stone and metal. The only way to stop this deadly rain is to burn it, and so the brave riders, on the backs of their fire breathing dragons go out every time it falls and sear it to ash. This particular book is 16th in the series, the first book is Dragonflight. An excellent, compelling read full of adventure, marvel and of course, dragons ;)

 

Bar my reading, the last few days have been good, the little miss went for a taster session for school, seems crazy she'll be off there in September! She enjoyed making a house for the class turtle (a toy, not an actual turtle! Lol) but was sad because most of the children knew each other and they wouldn't play with her, but that'll change when she get to know everyone in September hopefully!

 

Also, decided that 13 stone is to heavy, so I'm now going to embark on healthier eating, no more chocolates, biscuits and crisps for snacks, fruit and veg will be the way forward! Actual meals I do tend to home cook so are generally more healthy, but I will add more veg to them from now on! So apologies for the next few posts, they may have a fair bit of whining about missing chocolates and how cucumber is not the same as a nice bag of crisps! XD

 

Yet again on the IPad, so have am emote turtle ????
