Sorry! a day or two late as it's December already, but due to some family emergencies I couldn't get here.... but I'm here now.
It's December, and for some folk that means snow. Here in the SW of England it's cold but dry and perhaps with NO RAIN for a while - YAY!
So do you get in the Christmas spirit by reading something heartwarming? Or perhaps something quite the opposite?
I am suggesting a book 50 years old or older should be the read for December. Now that might be
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
or
An English Murder - Cyril Hare
but whatever it is, it sort of needs to be set around the Christmas Season. I have just read An English Murder (1950) which was a short and sweet English Country House story. I liked it. Clever.
So wishing you good reading and a Cool Yule where ever and whoever you are. Enjoy!
Mac-Adventures (with books! I read an eclectic mix of books, some years old, rarely prizewinners, sometimes on bestseller lists but more than likely not: but the ones I like I'll tell you about...... if you read them too, let me know! You may also find Gardening here, Home and Furniture makeovers; sometimes Food, Travel tales..... but mostly, Books.
