JACKIE COLLINS - GODDESS OF VENGEANCE
Love her books but seriously love the character Lucky Santangelo so for this reason I have to read this next book in her life so watch this space, she says Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance in a novel full of power,passion,revenge and the raging family dynamics of the Santangelo clan.
DAVID MICHELL - CLOUD ATLAS
This is a friends recommendation, as I have read about the film of the same being made here in Mallorca this September 2011 with TOM HANKS and HALLE BERRY and a few other big star names. so I wanted to read before the film comes out its about a mans travel diary I think in the Pacific so don't know why they choose here to film ?? we will wait and see how that turns out I was told its a bit slow but to stick with it so will try.
GEORGE R.R. MARTIN - A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
Now I think I am going to read this first as a huge book which took him 6 years to write his the writer of Games of Thrones which was a new TV series on Sky Living which was I think fantastic !! so has got me in the mood to read the books which are many but I think will be easy to read as I loved it so much so I am excited about the series. Its George Martins fifth volume its about Daenersys last scion of House Targaryen, her dragons have grown terrifying big and she rules as queen of the city on dust and death beset by enemies. Once I have read this I might read the rest.
I am also reading BYZANTIUM by JOHN JULIUS NORWICH The Decline and Fall, another recommendation which is slow going but I am reading it in chapters, but I am enjoying the history of poor old Constaniople's fall.

POOR BLUE
What a day today, this morning my poor Weimarner Blue had a accident while walking up the mountain for his daily walk, don't know how he did it but bent back his dewclaw so I was in a bit of a panic coming back down as it looked bad, as surprisingly their was lots of blood, but Blue didn't seem to be bothered by it as always, anyway I drove back down and went straight to my vet Nick and he said that he would have to be sedated before he could cut it back, and it was still attached firmly and if he cut it like that Blue would never step into the vets again !!! so I leave my poor boy who didn't have a clue what was going on as he loves going there and loves Nick. In half hour I got the call to collect him all bandaged up and repaired, he was funny all woozy from the gas and injection. Its been a quite day as Blue has slept most of the day bless him with the odd dream or two and keeps crying alot. His had a good nibble at the bandage which is now covered with a sock and he looks so funny. So no long walk tonight but will try to take him for a walk downstairs on the beach on the soft sand later.
