When I think about the books I want for Christmas there are both some old and some new. I have never read any Tolkien (I know that is hard to believe) but I do desperately want this book by Tolkien which I have been told is amazing. It contains letters from Father Christmas written to Tolkien's children telling all about his life at the North Pole. Sounds enchanting. I am going to get a copy for my sisters and her family too. I will so enjoy reading these to my children and I think this … [Read more...]
His face grins up at me. But I look away! I love Michael McIntyre and yet I have his book sat by the side of my bed as yet untouched. That happens with some books doesn’t it? They just sit there unloved for a long time...usually because they were an unwanted gift, or because the topic is too heavy. (War and Peace sat there for about 2 years because it was so BIG! ) Yet I love Michael McIntyre. I think he is hysterical. Have you ever heard him talk about going shopping with his wife? It … [Read more...]

For a stationary and book lover like myself the 100 Classic Ladybird Covers in One Box is just a fabulous treat. I can't tell you the delight I had opening this beautiful box of memories. Inisde there are indeed 100 loose postcards depicting Ladybird book covers form times gone by. They are absolutely beautiful. They range from Map Reading to Three Little Pigs to Learning with Mother and a cover to a Knitting Book. When I was a child we had many, many ladybird books and lots of these … [Read more...]
Tesco Books sent me Delirium to read by Lauren OLiver and asked me to tell you what mood it invoked in me. Delirium reminds me a little of Orwell's 1984, a government controlled emotionally void world where all the problems of messy emotions have been cured. But love of course, in the tradition of all the best romantic novels, overpowers and overwhelms control. This book was emotional, addictive, gripping, frightening and it made me feel passionate and young too. This was defiately a book … [Read more...]
