I promise I am writing! Turkey is so close to going up, but I seem to be in the middle of lots of things (knitting 2 projects, reading 2 books, need to practice ukulele, still job hunting for both morning and holidays jobs!) and I’ve been slack… and having a life!
So, for your enjoyment, because lots of other people seem to be doing this, here is the list of books on Mt. TBR (Mount To Be Read).
1. Nemesis – Jo Nesbo (promised to a BCer coming to Leeds)
2. The Shadow of the Wind – Carlos Ruiz Zafon

7. Dear Olly – Michael Morpurgo (currently reading)
8. The Wreck of the Zanzibar – Michael Morpurgo
9. The Sleeping Sword – Michael Morpurgo
10. The Butterfly Lion – Michael Morpurgo
11. Toro! Toro! – Michael Morpurgo (all given to me in Gothenburg as part of the NSS)
12. The Hound of the Baskerville – Arthur Conan Doyle (I feel bad I haven’t read of these yet!)
13. Ghosts of the Tower of London – G. Abbot
14. The Plague – Albert Camus (given by a friend who had 2 copies)
15. Gulp – Mary Roach
16. The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared – Jonas Jonasson

22. The Night Circus – Erin Morgenstern
23. The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ – Philip Pullman

I recommend;
The five people you meet in heaven,
The hundred year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared,
and anything by Michael Morpurgo is usually good although I have not read any of his for a while. Dad

Thanks Dad! I’ve now finished ‘Dear Olly’ by Michael Morpurgo, which was good, but a bit short! I kind of want to read something a bit longer (if only so I don’t have to choose too quickly again!)

Of course I’d recommend The Hound of the Baskerville! Time you started on this rich source of pleasure.
But also must say that the first two your Dad recommended are very high on my ‘Must Read’ list.
Please let us learn about what you HAVE done rather than what you are going to do though.

I should have known you’d say that one! Actually I picked it up specifically because I hadn’t read anything by him and knew you wouldn’t approve!
I’m going to finish Turkey now, just for you!
