Christmas books


Recommended Posts

Posted

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?!

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!
