Day & Night Mallorca Style



Morning on another glorious sunny day here in Mallorca but nothing interesting to report over my weekend so today I am going to recommend a  few things I like. Blue my weimy is all repaired he recovered very quickly and we had an amazing walk this morning just me and Blue and a herd of wild goats was great !!! Yesterday I had Sunday lunch at Max's Bistro my roast dinner fav with a girlfriend who I bought a Amazon Kindle from well  I quite like it its weight is very light but the keyboard is a bit fiddlerly but not sure I would like to read a book on it I like to be able to touch and feel the book and turn the pages?? so watch this space, I really bought it for Paul my hubby who travels so I think he will prefer it we will see. I have a list of books that I have just received from Amazon and don't know which one to read first :




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.
