I'm looking forward to curling up on Christmas Eve with The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

Nothing like Stephen King to get one into a festive spirit.

I like the look of that, but over Christmas I'll just be reading what ever I'm reading now and whatever turns up next.

I may even get around to downloading all the stuff I have piled up at Amazon onto my new Kindle. I've forgotten what I have there, so it will be like opening presents.

Enjoy it Patti, I'm not a huge fan of his but have enjoyed one or two , I didn't know there was a new one out.
I have made a list of my most want to read and now I can't decide which one to start. I like your idea of curling up on Christmas Eve though, dare I say it, I'm on my own all day so I might do the same, and that does sounds like a good plan !

Over the Christmas and New Year break I'm going for The Bazaar of Bad Dreams , Finders Keepers (also by Stephen King) and Go Set a Watchman.

I haven't really planned my reading - I will just see what catches my eye when I can sit down and read.

Not sure when that will be as I have a busy Christmas Eve/ Christmas day. I might sneak a bit of reading when the others are watching some film on TV.

Mum & I are going for a spa treatment on Christmas Eve (her birthday present and I said I would take her)
Then on Christmas Day I am driving mum and Misty over to my brother's for the day. We are taking a detour to call on mum's brother and deliver cards and presents that I'm collecting from mum's younger sister tonight.

Not sure. It may well depend on whether anyone lobs over a beta-read. I always do them first. Otherwise I'll probably go for the village book group January read - get in credit! The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals

After being swept away by 'the name of the wind', I'll be reading the follow up, The Wise Man's Fear.

I will also be trying to get a book finished to the point of beta reading for a certain lady above, if she'll have it :~)

I'm sure she will... whoever she is!

:~)

I really enjoyed Finders Keepers. You've read Mr Mercedes?

You've got some good reading ahead.

I love the Kingkiller chronicles David. I've got several books by 'our' authors to read, but I shall also be reading seed catalogues. Phwoar.

You know how to live! When are you going to start? ;)

That's an excellent idea & one I may copy soon. I remember how good the Name of the Wind was, but never got around to reading the next one - so I ought to rectify that.

It's looking like the book I'm currently reading, Flesh and Bone , don't think I've ever curled up on Christmas eve with a book, during the day I always go to the rescue Buster was from. I'm really behind with Stephen King, not heard of most of the ones you mention Patti

You are in for a treat David, they are great books, I do wish he would hurry up and bring number 3 out..

Your Christmas book sounds interesting Kath, let me know if you enjoy it.

Begins where book one left off, and one chapter in is just as good.

Anita and Rosie, I'm sure you're correct.

To start with I'll be reading Escape From B-Movie Hell but that will go to the side for Christmas day to read a couple of Christmas books and short story anthologies. Including the one to go with my favourite Christmas advert, Mog's Christmas Calamity.

Mot sounds ok to me Claire. Have you finished for Christmas?

Anita wrote: "Mot sounds ok to me Claire. Have you finished for Christmas?"

Yes! I'm all done now :) If I wasn't so worn out I'd be doing a dance in the living room!

Yay ! I'd dance with you but my legs have just gone on strike. Have relaxing day tomorrow and safe journey home. Bet you can't wait !

I'm currently reading Kevin Marsh's The Belgae Torc and I'm hoping to snatch some time over Christmas to finish it. The plot is gripping.

I shall be reading that festive classic, "The Radio Times".

Other than that, there are several books I've started and need to finish. Plus I've just got a new Audible credit. There will be no Stephen King.

I'm re-reading Hogfather and also a book about murder in the Channel Islands (very festive).

Not sure what's next after that.

I have read that Tim, save your time, it's rubbish, nothing worth reading at all.

Ah. Happy Hogswatch!

Anita wrote: "I have read that Tim, save your time, it's rubbish, nothing worth reading at all. "

I was just coming to the conclusion that I've read most of it before...

Yes and there are only so many repeats you can watch.

Well you could always read https://jandbvwebster.wordpress.com/2...

The third and final part of the Mudfold and Cockeren Feud :-)

Oh look! Festive spam!

Turns out I shall actually be reading The Beano Annual 2016! :-D

with cranberry sauce and all the trimmings!

(but no sprouts)

Yay, Tim!

I've started my Christmas Tales book, and read The Fir Tree and The Ice Queen last night. They're all classic Christmas stories so I'm looking forward to snuggling up with some more later. In fact I might read some now, Mum and I are waiting for the other two surface!

Nearly finished Tim's latest - I shall by bedtime - so I'll start on that village book group thingie.

They still make beano annual? Well I never. Enjoy it Tim.

Oh yes! £20 million of glass in the New Crystal Palace, and Dennis the Menace has found a conker tree. . . . Nothing could go wrong!!! :D

Good old Dennis, never fails to deliver !

I'm jealous! I love a good comic...

I haven't read a comic for years, the girls are still a bit young really.

Anita wrote: "I haven't read a comic for years"

Neither had I till today!

For now we are still into my little pony and the magic faraway tree but who knows what will be in store for us next

Does anyone know anything about a Mog book?

Mog's Christmas Calamity Patti?

Yes, I think so, Claire.

Being sold for charity?

Where can I get one for our school library?

Just been given Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop: And Other Practical Advice in Our Campaign Against the Fairy Kingdom

Now reading :-)

Why did no-one give me that??

Sainsbury's have them, it's the book the sainsburys advert was based on. If you want I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm passing and I can post it to you if I find one?

And the kindle copy is about 60p cheaper than the paperback!

No worries, thanks. We've got a Sainsburys in town.

I think I have better get it for Holly, I have a few kindle book on my iPad for her so I shall add that to the collection.

I had plans on finding a new book to grab and instead got one given to me for Christmas.

I got a very special limited edition of Shepards Crown by Terry Pratchett.

Beautiful copy :-)
