Christmas Reads

Grey Granite thinks the possibilities for interesting walks will be limited this Christmas and following Dr Anne's example has planned her reading list.It is a great regret that The weekend Scotsman, The Guardian and The Observer will not be published for 2 weeks  -Bah humbug!

Grey Granite habitually reads an novel, often as an ebook, a nonfiction title and poetry concurrently. She also listens to an audio book during walks to the shops without Rufus. 
At present she is browsing Edward Thomas and re reading Jessie Kesson. She must finish Richard Dawkins: The Ancestors Tale then will move on to:

Patrick Barkham, The Butterfly Isles: A Summer in Search of Our Emperors and Admirals


Jenny Diski, What I Don't Know About Animals

Juliet Gardiner The Blitz: The British Under Attack

Carol Anne Duffy,  The Feminist Gospels

Donald Paterson, Homecomings

James Robertson, And the Land Lay Still (widely regarded by contributors to The Scotsman's round up of best books of the year)

Current Audio books are Stephen Fry, The Fry Chronicles to be followed by Dawn French, A Tiny Bit Marvellous
