Jane Eyre: I liked Jane Eyre a lot. It was unconventional and I thought it was going to have a tragic ending but it was actaully a nice happy ending without being cheesy or clichéd or unlikely. Mr Rochester was a brilliant 'hero' of the story and Jane is easy to relate to, and not an annoying girl (well, except for when she inexplicably leaves Mr Rochester and is a homeless person for a bit). I liked the constant references to Wuthering Heights and the differences between the Jane/Rochester relationship and the the Cathy/Heathcliff one. Overall, it was super, thank you Louise for buying me such a beautiful edition :D
The Reader: I read the Reader in two sittings. It's not a very happy book but it didn't make me depressed either. I liked that it didn't give any definitive right or wrong answers to the philosophical and moral issues raised. Because it's told from Michaels perspective it allows you to feel sympathy for Hanna, Michael and the victims of the Holocaust. Michael is a fair narrator, but sometimes a little inhuman, which he admits. However his 'numbness' towards the Holocaust allows for a greater understanding, if it can be called that, of the actions of the Auschwitz guards.
My costume for Louises. It's not especially 80s but it is inspired by Debbie Harry, who is well hot and totally cool.
Helping Ma Select new furniture for the living room. This was ultra fun, we got to sit on a million sofas and pick out throws and cushions and choose fun colour schemes, yeah! We also got to go out for lunch in Cheltenham so I got the best tomato and basil soup ever, yum

My Advent Calendar. Mum made us fabric Christmas trees for our doors years ago because we were not allowed a proper advent calendar. The 25 pockets on the tree have a question and a treat inside. But you can only get the treat if you get your question right. However, because Mum is nice, we usually get the treat anyway or Mum lets it roll over to tomorrow. Anyway back in the day the treats used to be raisins or dried fruit or something. But since Clares been around Mum is nicer so now we get a lindt ball, yesssssss :D Anyway Todays question was: Which county supplies Trafalgar Square with its annual Christmas tree? The answer is obviously Norway and I got my lindt ball, yeah!
