These are the books that I bought myself (as a gift from BiL- he gave me some money). I can't remember where I saw them mentioned but I liked the look of both .
I came across details of this soft cover, large size book below when finding out about the Radio Times nostalgia for a blog post earlier this month. I looked on abebooks and amazon where it was a selling for crazy prices - over £20- but on the Radio Times Shop direct it was £9.99 - so that found it's way to me before Christmas. It's absolutely fascinating and a lovely addition to my WWII Home Front book collection.
And then I had even more books from my wish list from the children!
Might be needing a bit of a shelf sort out to make room for everything.............
After 11 of us all together on Christmas Day, Yesterday- Boxing Day was quieter, just me and BiL. In the evening I 'forced' him to watch the special festive quizzes/panel games which started with 'Would I lie to You', then 'Richard Osman's House of Games' and 'Celebrity Mastermind' . By the time it got to 8.30 he said he couldn't cope with anymore quizzes! which made me laugh, so he went home to avoid 'Only Connect' and 'Christmas University Challenge'!
Your books look interesting, I received a book voucher - must take a look!
ReplyDeleteThe Slow Down book looks interesting
ReplyDeleteOh! What a find! The RT one will go on my birthday list.
ReplyDeleteI bought myself The Almanac which is about trees this year.
Great choice of books as gifts and look forward to seeing some reviews later. I watched Would I lie to You as well and I really enjoyed it. My favourite is Have I got news for you with all its different hosts. Catriona
