  3. Haha, well I wouldn't say I was football loving - I tolerate it!! But footballers in the UK are just like movie stars, everyone knows who they are - plus he is a little pretty :D

    If I had to choose a team it would West Ham, who are so bad they got relegated - whoops!!!

    THANKS for the comments guys :D

  4. Oooh, you got some lovely books. I've been hearing some really good things about Shift and I'm totally a Maggie girl, as well. I frequently hang out at the Merry Sisters of Fate on livejournal where her, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff write short stories, etc. And I totally adore the PLL series of books. :)

    Such a fabulous IMM, with some nice peeps taking care of you. lol. Totally a new follower, already stalking you for life. It's crazy, yo!

  7. Hiya. I'm a new follower and I know this is last week's IMM, but I had to comment because I can't believe you got such a haul of great books at a charity shop! I consider myself to be quite good at finding the second-hand gems, but I've never done that well! Good for you!
