Thanks, Book, I haven't been in here for a while - no time for much reading at the moment!

Thanks Kristel, I made some time for myself to finish a couple of books this month, it was precious time. And as we wait for the next wave of visitors, who are running late, I have bashed out a review and updated my points. I may not get much read, but it is still fun to do.
