War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells was much better than I thought it would be. After reading Time Machine and the Island of Dr Moreau, I was expecting to be disappointed. The fact that most of the story is just a few miles from where I live probably helped. This is definitely the best of the three books. This one I would read again (not that I'll have the opportunity for a few years).

Adverts for DVD of The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger have been all over the TV the last couple of weeks. I haven't seen the film yet so I thought this would be a good choice. Although it is written by a women the language is very masculine in my opinion. The narration alternates between the two lead characters and I would have expected there to be a marked difference in styles between the two but there wasn't. I enjoyed this one but I was creeped out by it a bit. I felt like this man was "grooming" this young girl. I'm sure it wasn't meant to come across that way but that's how I read it.
My book reader has been going everywhere with me. I've been reading over my morning cup of tea, lunchtime at work and most evenings. I am an addict. I keep thinking I'll have a little break but I don't. Between reading, tweeting and blogging I'm not getting a lot of anything else done. I have next week off work. The plan is 7 days to declutter and spring clean. You might think that is a long time but if you saw the state of our house at the moment you would understand.
