show 2nd dec 2010

My guests today should have been Corinna Christopher and Malcolm Martland but Malcolm rang me a couple of hours ago, to say he had a fall yesterday and so wouldn’t be able to make the show. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Malcolm.
So my guest to day is Corinna Christopher and myself. In fact I rang Corinna just to make sure she would be able to make it that she wasn’t snow bound….Lovely sight last night when we had that fall of snow, not so deep, crisp & even..!
Fortunately Corinna was originally going to review 3 books but thinking we wouldn’t have time for 3 I chose 2 but now we are back to the 3, which are:
Hypothermia by Arnaldur Indridason (Icelandic thriller), The 10th Gift by Jane Johnson (drama set in Penzance & Morrocco), The Night of the Mi’Raj by Zoe Ferraris (suspense tale set in Saudi Arabia)

Besides reviewing these books, each week we will be looking at whats out there in the literary world for Christmas pressies. This week we start with the Sports category. So, put on the kettle, grab a cuppa and pull up a chair, seemple tk!
Sports books I mentioned were The Grumpy Golfer's Handbook by Ivor Grump (could have been Ivor complaint)… is a compilation of all things miserable about playing golf.
Plus the 6 shortlisted for the William Hill Sports book of the year Award 2010. WINNER OF Worlds Richest Sports book prize is former England and British Lions rugby union hooker Brian Moore who received the greatest honour in sports writing, for his gritty and revelatory autobiography Beware of the Dog:
