Betty's Christmas Book Review
I started to list and read book titles for Christmas relaxation but there were so many from which to choose the range became bewildering. However, here are a few which may take your eye……
THE LAST POST - by Max Arthur.
Poignant memories of courage and comradeship recorded by two old soldiers, both now over 100 years old. Remarkable read.
MUSN’T GRUMBLE - Terry Wogan.
Delightfully ‘Woganish’.
STORIES FROM THE OTHER SIDE - Gordon Smith.
Different, yes. Unusual, yes. Should read –yes
THE RAVENSCAR DYNASTY - Barbara Taylor Bradford.
The first three volumes of a family sage – in which she excels.
FOOTBALLERS - Wayne Rooney & Frank Lampard.
Both fascinating and personal.
GARDENING AT EDEN - Matthew Biggs
How to do it at home.
I noticed a novel by Julie Walters - seemed interesting also Liza Minellis account of her tempestuous life - also seemed interesting.
There are children’s books galore and a fantastic range of audio books, videos and DVD’s, in fact something for all tastes whether it be for a gift or a personal treat, but nothing too heavy at this time of the year!
