Interesting to see your new additions. My favourite book of this season is my daughter in law's first published novel, An Ungodly Child. If you haven't yet bought it, it's with Amazon and the author is Rachel Green. I am almost half way through it and it's great fun, unlike anything I would normally choose to read but I'm loving it.<BR/>Happy New Year to you all.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-25282188365182920652009-01-04T13:36:00.000-05:002009-01-04T13:36:00.000-05:00I do love a good book!

Sometimes a book ordered online does not go through. I have a shelf just for my Beatrix Potter books now. I love any book about her life. You are right...there is nothing like a cold January day, sitting by the fire with a good book. I keep stealing a few moments to read between my undecorating this evening. Well that and looking at your sweet blog. <BR/><BR/>Hugs ~<BR/>HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306674979528881706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-7896767530609446122009-01-04T09:58:00.000-05:002009-01-04T09:58:00.000-05:00Michael Palin..yes.
