What a star!<br /><br />Mrs T - as ever: nail on head!<br /><br />Nappy Valley Girl - not read any Ben Elton for years so can't really say, but definitely don't bother with White Tiger...<br /><br />Chic Mama - That's it exactly - it's only 40 years ago. Astonishing.<br /><br />Kelloggsville - do!

I did a whole Amazon order the week before we went (based mostly on what Saffia at Motherhood and Anarchy had recommended) and I knew there was something else but couldn't think what it was.<br /><br />Anyway, it wouldn't have mattered, because Amazon failed me and none of the books arrived, so most of these (with the exception of the Help were lent in a last minute panic by a friend!)<br /><br />Will see if I can get the Slap in town later on though.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975259590293860488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-23414830530487264062010-09-24T08:48:28.118+01:002010-09-24T08:48:28.118+01:00I love finding out what other people read.
