Froglet Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I've come to realise over the years that we are quite a collection of bookworms here at FSF and as I'm procrastinating about reading papers for a governors' meeting I'm wondering if you have any particular favourites you revisit regularly at Christmas. My mum often asks if I've read my Christmas books yet. Some of mine are just nostalgia and childhood memories others just have the odd really good Christmas scene in them! Here are some of mine. The Children of Green Knowe Box of Delights The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder (I read this like an Advent calendar as there is one chapter for each day of advent) Through a glass darkly also by Jostein Gaarder - I read this one less frequently though as it's sad! PS Is there a collective noun for a collection of bookworms?! A library?! Quote
Froglet Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 And as it's now the first of December I can wish you (as I do all my family). Happy Advent!! :1b Quote
narnia Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 collective noun?? I'd have said 'A chapter'..............but that's already been pinched by hell's Angels. Then again........................... 1 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 And to you Froglet :-) Interested to read you are also a governor - what with our own stuff and gov stuff to read and absorb It's hard to find time to just read for pleasure anymore :-( 1 Quote
Froglet Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Know what you mean Mouseketeer. I belong to a book group and I think I've finished one book, maybe 2 in the last year. I still read lots but find that during term time I just want easy things to read so either read very 'light' or books that I've ready hundreds of times before so it doesn't matter when I fall asleep in the middle of a chapter and the book hits me in the face! And yes, governor papers - tonight's meeting had 118 pages and that didn't include a couple of documents that were tabled at the meeting! Quote
