I’ve got a jam-packed weekend, with a wedding, theatre trip, church, etc. Probably not much curling up with a book and relaxing, but lots of fun. Hope you’re having a good one, and here’s a book, a blog post, and a link to take you through it…
1.) The link – is the first in a series called ‘Books By My Bed‘, in Boundless (from Unbound). Dan Kieran talks through the books on his bedside table, and it’s generally a nice piece about the joy of books.
2.) The blog post – is over at Shiny New Books: which books should you buy for Christmas gifts? My recommendation is there, along with those from many other bloggers and reviewers.
3.) The book – Browse, edited by Henry Hitchings, came through my letterbox recently and I can’t wait to start dipping into it. The subtitle, ‘love letters to bookshops around the world’, tells you what you need to know. (To find out a bit more, enjoy Susan’s review at A Life in Books.)
I must confess I saw Browse in Foyles today and was awfully tempted but didn’t – maybe I should have…. :s
