pickI read a Finnish fantasy, which was a BOTM in one group where we read fantasy & sci-fi. I had this book already in my TBR so this was a perfect excuse to read it.
This book made me even laugh, even though I thought this would be even more hilarious. Nevertheless this was fun to read.
I have the second book in my TBR and I am definitely going to read it too.
Fabrice was a natural comic, but the kind who'd had the good sense not to ruin his life by trying to become a comedian.
Most meat-eaters console themselves with the fact that they're consuming a creature that they wouldn't recognize. I wonder what percentage of us would be vegetarians if we had to kill and eat the very animal that we'd been feeding and nurturing for months.
However, when the moment of truth does arrive and we are able to look back over our lives, there's one thing we can be sure that we won't be saying: 'You know, my biggets regret is that i didn't worry a bit more. I had so many opportunities to be more uptight about things and I just didn't take them. Oh, how I wish I had.'
One of the frustrations of life is that however much time we spend planning our futures, we are always potentially just a moment away from a piece of news that can shatter everything. We have but a brittle hold on our own lives, let alone those of others.
pickAs the year draws to a close, I felt that for my final book, I wanted a book to leave 2025 with a smile on my face and a chuckle or two. Sue Townsend guarantees those feelings with the greatest comic character since bertie worsted. In this Adrian's diaries for 1997/1998 coincide with the first year of the new Labour government with brilliant satire but also the comedy of his home and love life. Happy reading in 2026, everyone.
If some of you are like me, this is still happening. I just hand the box to the kids: “here‘s another one I must have forgotten about.” #holidayhumor
Ok there‘s just been 3 so far…
