Meanwhile something I have been doing whilst lying in bed like an ailing heroine over Christmas is reading, so here are the latest offerings leaving me 25 to go.....
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
Read this unabridged on my iphone (get me) in the lead up to christmas. It was actually quite an enjoyable experience, particularly in bed as it generates it's own light to read by and even makes a satisfying page turning noise as you 'turn each page'. Really enjoyed it - Dickens wrote for the long winter evenings.
Fag Hag - Robert Rodi
Oh the shame of it! But I was really poorly over christmas..... really, really poorly.
Little Town on the Prairie - Laura Ingalls Wilder
I read 'Little house in Big Woods' and 'Little house on the prairie' as a child. Had never read this, and I was really poorly over Christmas....
December - Elizabeth Winthrop
A novel about an elective mute, the extraordinary power that brings with it and the associated strain it places on a marriage. How do you react to it and to what extent does the family enable it.
Thought provoking and enjoyable, but the temptation to skip to the end to see if she does ever speak again is oh so tempting!
The 10 smartest decisions a woman can make before 40 - Tina B Tessina
Yawn!
It would appear that the smartest decision you can make is to make decisions, and this is more like a 10 point plan for doing that, Nothing wrong with a bit of procrastination in my opinion!
Dear Fatty - Dawn French
Enjoyable. Frank, funny and you can forgive her for the pure self indulgence of it all.
The Gargoyle - andrew Davidson
WOW Goes straight to the top of my 40 so far.
Didn't want to read it too fast because then it would be over, yet found myself sitting in the bath until the water was stone cold not wanting to break the spell. READ THIS BOOK but not my copy! Bookcrossing and karma be dammed.
