In festive mode, after Ally organised me into writing all of our Christmas cards, I made up an amazing quiz for Christmas book club called "Whose bookshelf is it anyway?" To be honest, I completely stole the idea from the English department at my school. I asked my book club chums each to send me a photograph of part of their bookshelf with a selection of their favourite books. Ally kindly printed these for me in little booklets; he made a lovely job of it. The aim of the game was to guess to whom each set of books belonged.
The book club girls seemed to really enjoy it, and, after working out whose books were whose, there was a lot of discussion about the books and why they were our favourites. I was very touched that several of the girls spotted "The Shipping News" in my row of books and remembered that it is one of my all time favourites.
Our hostess Jennifer made us a delicious supper of chilli con carne and then we had mince pies and felt very Christmassy.
