Celebration of Discipline: Richard Foster

This is a must read. I love this book. There's no rules of thour shalt just a gloriously practical look at the transformation that can occur when we stop trying to fix ourselves and just get some disciplines in place instead! He's great- no wonder this is a classic. I'm inspired!

The Voyage of The Dawn Treader: CS Lewis

Love it! This is my favourite of the Narnia Chronicles. I just love its aspect on healing and redemption. Love the whole thing of journeying after what is lost and love the redeemd and changed Edmund! Wonderful wonderful book, please make it into a film.. please!!!

Prince Caspian: CS Lewis

Great- moves the story on..

The Horse and His Boy: CS Lewis

My least fave I'm afraid. It just has too much of a tinge of un PC-ness.. (I hesitate to say racism but.. ) Still a good story!

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe: CS Lewis

What can I say.. great read, the characters all the more intriguing the more times you read it.. Yay

The Magician's Nephew: CS Lewis

I reread this and was surprised by how little I remembered from teh time before (onoy 4 years ago!).. Bizarre. I love the whole creation of Narnia thing... very lovely Am a tad gutted that they haven't gone for this as a film.. but well thats Hollywood!

Long Way Round: Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman

Great book. Two guys on big motorbikes go round the world.. via a mafia house in the Ukraine, some nasty mud in Outer Mongolia and a crash in Canada. The book is linked to the TV series/ film which I;ve not sen, but love the way its written.. I;m a bit of a Ewan fan so.. but well worth a look.

The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole: Sue Townsend

I think I prefer the sequal.. I think its this one that has a moment I still identify with- Adrian Mole going out to the skating rink, trying to look cool and failing miserably!! He ends up wearing his school PE kit.. Anyway.,. another quick and easy read just before Christmas (yes its taken me til March to write this up so.. )..

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole: Sue Townsend

This was a seminal piece of my childhood.. Adrian Mole and his hideous experiences as a teenager. The weird thing is that as a kid I didn't realise that Adrian Mole is a grade A whinger! On second reading, it all becomes hugely clear! But it was great to plough my way through this and the sequal!
