Totally gutted when I found out earlier today...more upset about it than David Bowie. Guess we will get a run of his films now...so many memorable characters and his sexy voice

Hubby and I went to see Bridge of Spies....Tom Hanks...was very good.

'Murder at the Vicarage - A Christmas Mystery' by Jill McGown I really enjoyed this little murder mystery. Not my usual type of book, but it was a wee page turner. Simple plot, or so it would seem. Set in an isolated village with a close knit community. Murder takes place at the vicarage at Christmas, and the victim is the vicar's son-in-law. Good characters and writing. It is down to CI Lloyd and Sergeant Hill to solve this modern day version of twists and turns. Whose head will the crime finally fall upon....well that would be telling.....!! I'm sure Agatha Christie would have approved this version. I might look for more of Jill McGown. 4/5

I gave my niece the Secret Garden colouring book....the girl who designed them is from up our way. They are lovely and I'm sure you will enjoy doing them.

Oh good, it was a birthday wishlist book from last year, so I must move it up the list then. Still have shortbread in the tin Kay...I'll put the kettle on...let me know when you are going to pop in

Hiya... ...ah yes the famous last words of 'having a clear out of the book shelves'. Funny you should mention that, hubby and I were just in Waterstones today... he had a voucher to spend, which he did and then I said 'so which shelf will that be trying to find a space on...?' So good luck with it. Nice to see your thread...happy in 2016.

Not that I need to buy/aquire any more books..

Have a great year....and yes I always enjoy a good Diane Chamberlain read...I imagine a few of those will be read throughout the year.

'The Great Christmas Knit Off' by Alexandra Brown With 'knit' in the title and fact that I am knitting quite a lot at the moment, it had to be read. Very easy read, if a bit slow to start and I did wonder then the 'knitting' was going to start. Small village, lots of friendly villagers, pub, bookshop, Hetties Haberdashery, which eventually lures our Sybs to its doors. She has always dreamed of having her own shop, as she loves anything to do with crochet, knitting and sewing. Sybs ends up here after being heartbroken and jilted at the alter. She heads off to see her friend Cher, who has recently taken over the village pub in Tindledale, for a few days, but she is not there and ends up at the B&B run by Lawrence, with her dog, Basil. She becomes friends with Hettie and helps her put her shop in order and discovers it may have to close. The challenge is on. Eventually there is a mega knitting session organised to knit Christmas jumpers for the Japanese tourists who come every year for Christmas. This helps to pay off the debts for Hettie to stay put. Romance is in the air too, Ben the local doctor takes a shine to Sybs. A nice, feel good read for the Christmas season. Nothing bad happens... 4/5
