Children's Novels

Began the tidy up of the house in preparation for Xmas today.

This wasn't helped by a sore head, and a weary body, due to a number of bottles of Staropramen in the Everyman Bistro on Saturday Night.

Got the bulk of the Xmas shopping out of the way on Saturday afternoon. Only a few people left to buy for.
Spent an enjoyable couple of hours in the children's book section at Borders, leafing through novels by the likes of Anthony Horowitz, Eoin Colfer, Roald Dahl etc.

There's a fantastic range of children's action, adventure novels and fantasy these days. I do still buy them (or have them bought for me) as I enjoy a good lightweight, escapist. read. I spotted a new book called Iron Hand by Charlie Fletcher, which is a sequel to Stoneheart - both of which look promising.
