It's the first time I write about the books I read, and curiously 2011 has been the year with less reading-activity since I started reading for pleasure again. But here I go. Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go  I watched the trailer for the film (I must say, this happens to me very often) and I got very interested in it. And I liked the book, though I should say I found it veeeery slow. I want to think that it is necessary for the story, the passing of time mixed with the inevitable fate of the children... it kepps them and you, waiting. The film, by the way, it's awful. It's a good portrait of the story, but it's like a bad summary of the book. Kathryn Stockett's The Help I heard about this book from my University colleagues (this happens to me too) and I started to read it almost immediately. And it totally got me, I couldn't stop. I love the story and the different voices in it. Read it, please. The film is great too.   H. P....

I bring you some new stuff that have entered my home lately. ("Lately" may go up to 6 months)   Well, I have this frame since January 2010, and year and a half later there it is, at last attached to a wall. Now I just have to find something nice to put in it. Where to find it? Here .   We have four frames in the living room, two are used by my boyfriend, and the other two are supposed to be for me. It has cost me more than 6 months to find a proper image for them. This is one of them, the other one, I'm still looking for something. Any suggestions? A tin calendar I bought this summer in London.  Don't you love it? Cause I do it. And I can use it forever! Here you can see four cookie cutters and a lunchbox with two sandwich cutters. I'm anxious to have a chance to use the box. All the rest has been used and with great results. Where to find them? Here and here . (You have better pictures, as mine is crap) ...
