~World Book Day~

A quick post to celebrate World Book Day.
As I'm 43 I didn't dress up as The Gruffalo, Horrid Henry or Where's Wally, but I just wanted to share my latest good read with you.
I got this book as a birthday present last month - The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.

It was published last year, so forgive me if you've read it already.  My finger isn't on the pulse of what's hot in fiction; I rely on accidentally finding good books or else am loaned them by friends.
This book is so wonderfully well-written, clever, funny...and so sad yet uplifting that I had several proper crying episodes.
If you fancy it, a review can be found online here.    To be recommended.

~Knitting Book Giveaway~

As promised here is my first giveaway of 2013...
It's a lovely craft book called 'Vintage Knit Knacks' by Sue Culligan, and you can read more about it here

I was going to have a gardening giveaway, but as Spring has not sprung and the snow and cold snap are forecast again this week, what better than a bit of knitting by a toasty fire?
Along with basic knitting advice, there are patterns for 20 projects including socks, mittens, bottle cover, cafetiere cosy, bookmark, gadget case, to name a few.
To enter just leave me a comment below before 12 midnight on Friday 22nd February.
Good luck
