The Big Book of Law A collaboration by Dewey, Cheatem & Howe
I love it. And am thrilled that my agreement has been extended/made indefinite. I was taken on for one day a week, then asked to do a second just for July/August. I've today been asked to make the two days until the end of the season (end Oct) then switch to one day a week in the warehouse doing online type stuff till the season starts next year. Brilliant. Not sure about a down-side... Except for rather long days in the hols, and having to wait until the shop's empty for locking the door and rushing for a wee it's my idea of heaven.
Got 3 on the go at the moment
Sworn Sword by James Aitcheson
Fall Of The West by Adrian Goldsworthy
Shadow Of The Silk Road by Colin Thubron
And I've just got the new Christian Cameron and the latest Merrily Watkins book by Phil Rickman. Heaven!
My TBR pile never seems to get any smaller, I think I'll have to stay in bed for a week or so and try to catch up on my reading.
Better start making sandwiches and a flask of coffee
Betty Crocker......trying to get ideas for supper.
Ta-Ta for now!

Interesting stuff Dzambo.
Im not really into fantasy or fiction either, I find when I do read books these days its either true stories (like the one I mentioned earlier by Dervla Murphy, the 2 previous to that were about Guernsey, true stories also) or factual, learning books as you mentioned.Or magazines and newspapers (not celeb mags or trash like that though!) lol
Having said that the child in me can totally relate to you KIm and your Enid Blyton. As a child my siblings and me had all the famous five books between us, they kept me going! Other Enid Blyton books too, I also loved Hans Christian Anderson, I couldnt get enough of books, I lived for them but then a lot of it WAS escapism too from reality as you say Dzambo, I needed it a lot of the time. I was always in the library too.
As a Mother my children were also 'soaked' in books and we always had read aloud sessions too, and bed time stories (where Id sometimes fall asleep with them too, briefly lol) they had even more Enid Blyton than me, my son still loves the famous five and asked for the box set one xmas when he was 17 ! They also had Winnie the pooh, Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, Alison Utley, etc etc my son loved Terry Pratchett too as a boy.
Working in a book shop (or even going through my own childrens books sometimes) I still start getting into them again, Id be like you KIm. Childhood favourites are unbeatable ...
