Reading is one of my favourite downtime pastimes - books especially, although I love magazines too. And I am thrilled with the revamp of the Exclusive Books website. It's user-friendly, slick and now includes music, films and books too. Plus you can still earn Fanatics points, and we love loyalty programmes! Online shopping is another blossoming pastime of mine as somehow life just keeps getting busier and you can do it at anytime from anywhere.

I was recently absolutely hooked to the Millenium trilogy by Swedish authour, Stieg Larsson. These are gripping thrillers, that are so clever you'll be hooked from the first page of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, all the way through The Girl who Played with Fire, until the very last page of The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. Although chilling and almost disturbing at times I can't recommend these books enough. Perfect for the cosy winter weather we have coming up - just make sure you have them all as you won't be able to wait to start the next one!

I am currently reading Last Night in Twisted River by the amazing John Irving - an epic story of a father and son's relationship and shared life on the run from some accidental crime. It was recommended to my bookclub by Carla Edgar, the lovely owner of Nice in Parkhurst and I will definitely ask her for future recommendations.

So I hope you have a good book for this weekend. See you Monday!
