Elise, I finished The Lovely Bones this evening, it's very good. It started to fall apart towards the third quarter but the last few pages pulled it together, I'd definately recommend it.

Yeah, it's great. Really weird at the beginning, sad too. Made me think about what happens after death differently.

I couldn't find lucky (by the same author) in work, I think it's on loan! I'll have another check on saturday.

Has anybody read the time traveller's wife?

Elise. Just because you take advantage of your authority and steal books from the library.

Haha! Why would I want to steal a book? They're free anyway, and pointless once you've read them

Oh Grace (I think it was you I was tlaking about this with)

I read Alice Sebold's Lucky, it was relaly sad :shock:

I'm reading Chris Moyles first book just now. I pre-ordered it form Amazon before it was out and it has been on my shelf ever since! I am just about finished it and have to say it is very good!

I haven't read much in ages but have read 4 books in the last 4 weeks! Who knew I was a reader? ha ha

The 1st of which was a book called Cents & Sensibility (that I got free with a Gillette razor) and that was brilliant! I definitely recommend that to anyone that likes a girly book :D

Carl Hiaasen's Lucky You

He writes very good books *nods* Sick Puppy for one.

I just read The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. S'very good.

I read Tess of the D'Urbervillesfor one of my modules too. I get why people would hate it if they had to do it for GCSE or anything but it's a VERY good book. I liked.

Oh and I'm reading Julian Barnes' Arthur and George, Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club and A Midsummer Night's Dream. I love being an English student.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

I'm currently reading Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, after seeing the film version a few months ago and liking it I thought I'd give the book a go. It's actually a really good book, it's unlike anything else I've ever read before but that's partly why I'm enjoying it so much.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I am reading The History Boys by Alan Bennett (it was adapted into a film a few years ago) and a little-known book called Wuthering Heights by a lady named Emily Bronte. Anyone heard of it?

Heard of both of those but haven't actually read them. I've been meaning to watch the History Boys film for a while actually, it looks good.

    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
    • I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
