Daily Dip In
All year Mr Norfolkbookworm and I have been dipping into the wonderful The Wrong Kind of Snow, which was a great find in the National Trust bookshop at Blickling Hall in January.
This has a entry for every day of the year with quirky weather facts, or happenings in history that occurred due the atmospheric conditions on that day. There's been a lot of humour, lots of quotes from novels to add to the ever-growing pile of books and also a lot of discussion between the two of us. There have also been some eye-opening and sad entries.
However it is now nearly the end of the year and of the book and we're looking for something in the same vein for 2016.
We both read at very different speeds but we're both adventurous readers so something like this was ideal to share during the year. We're not really looking for a straight diary like Pepys but wouldn't rule out diaries in general and we don't mind if it is science or arts based... over to you!
Hello norfolk bookworm, have you read bandaid for a broken leg? Picked up on impulse and really enjoyed it. Also confessions of a gp which I gave away on wbn a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for these suggestions, I've read Confessions of a GP but will add the other one to my tbr pile, sadly they really aren't Mr Norfolkbookworm's cup of tea so I will keep hunting!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great book and although I've already read it I think I might look for another copy of it so that we can both re-read.
