I know I keep bangin' on about Inception everywhere (c'mon YOU GUYS...go SEE it) but before I stop my wheedling just check out this really cute and kinda brill mashup of Inception and that other movie that's getting really good reviews, Toy Story 3.
If you've seen Toy Story 3, what did you think of it? I'm kinda thinking I should see it - 99% on Rotten Tomatoes can't be wrong! And if it is, well, I don't wanna be right.
Book review on The City & the City, by China Mieville should be up later today. Failing that...tomorrow.

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? (1)
This meme is hosted by Sheila at One Person's Journey Through a World of Books, and as far as I can tell, is used as a digestive tool for all the books gobbled this week.
I've quite enjoyed this week's reading. I finished with The City & the City, by China Mieville, and Fury, by Shirley Marr...both of which I was pretty impressed with, and am looking forward to posting the reviews.
And I'm about halfway through The Sweet Far Thing, by Libba Bray. It is (so far) a fitting end to a series that I've enjoyed immensely - I hope Libba Bray writes another series similar cos I'm missing Gemma Doyle already! Halo, by Alexandra Adornetto is also getting a bit of airplay - I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth further into that one cos (1) she's Aussie; (2) it's a book that will count towards my Horns and Halos Reading Challenge; and (3) it's got a really pretty cover!!
Finally, The Confessions of Catherine de Medici, by C.W. Gortner is looking like it's next on the list. I am definitely going through a historical fiction stage at the moment - more so than usual - and I've been lusting after C.W. Gortner's stuff ever since I heard The Last Queen was a great read.
It's Monday - what are YOU reading?
