I am a few pages from the end of this book and am thoroughly enjoying it. Sometimes all you need is the right book at the right time, and this one is perfect in the run up to Christmas.

I had read about it on Elaine's blog, and then with your review, as well, I just had to get it. Merci, Simon. I got an email from the seller and she said:<BR/><BR/>I mailed your book today, and hope it will arrive soon. Hope you enjoy it--I loved it!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-33472020208623199532007-12-12T19:17:00.000+00:002007-12-12T19:17:00.000+00:00This sounds just perfect.

Have you read Raffaela Barker's Hens Dancing and Summertime, two perfect books to me. <BR/><BR/>Wodehouse is my favorite above all others. As you have a Milne quote for all occasions, I have a Wodehouse. :<) I just love him.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-4299031335201866632007-12-11T11:57:00.000+00:002007-12-11T11:57:00.000+00:00I read this last year Simon and loved itI read this last year Simon and loved itElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408101165520113965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-49760159028956240282007-12-10T19:37:00.000+00:002007-12-10T19:37:00.000+00:00Have you seen this on the writer's blog today Simo...Have you seen this on the writer's blog today Simon?<BR/><BR/>'A Proper Family Christmas' <BR/><BR/>There is a really nice review of A Proper Family Christmas on Simon Thomas's 'Stuck In A Book' blog: http://stuck-in-a-book.blogspot.com/. I was so pleased that Simon liked it and delighted to see his nice comments.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, however, Transita have just informed me that A Proper Family Christmas has sold out of the first edition and they don't feel it would be in their interest to print any more copies. Had I known this, of course I wouldn't have continued to promote the book, and it makes me feel a bit like a shady time-share salesman selling property on what turns out to be an empty building plot! I can only apologise to those people who had hoped to buy it this Christmas and will now be disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-27205583203043553292007-12-10T07:24:00.000+00:002007-12-10T07:24:00.000+00:00Thanks for the recommendation - this sounds just-t...Thanks for the recommendation - this sounds just-the-right book!BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.com
