Well, I managed 20, less than usual but I do only read in bed. I find I nod off far too soon after getting into bed these days!

Happy New Year dear, B. x

I can't imagine not reading every chance I get!

Thank you, and the same to you.

And some people boast of having read forty!
Luckily, it's not a competition :-)
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you!

I read Lucy Mangan's Bookworm over the Christmas holiday and concur with your review. I enjoyed the book but found all that constantly trying to be funny really irritating.

Our age and geographical gaps also meant I'd heard of hardly any of the picture books. They were published after my picture-book years, and then when I had my son, tended to read Aussie picture books.

And a Happy New Year to you!

I knew most of the picture books because my daughter was the right age for them. Shirley Hughes and Judith Kerr are stll favourites with her (and me)!
