My Questions From Penny

  9. If you could spend two weeks anywhere in the world, where would you go? Port Douglas, Australia
  10. What is your favourite film/television programme? Lost in Translation and Up In The Air are also favourite films of mine. I'm ashamed to admit it but I'm addicted to soaps and reality telly
  11. If you could only read three books for the rest of your life, what would they be? Veronika Decides To Die (Paulo Coelho), The Book Thief (Markus Zusak) and The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)
