Can you tell a book by its cover?
Summer holidays are the best time to get stuck into some reading. I wonder what you can tell about a person from what they read. Let's have a look at what is on my beside table at the moment. I always have a stack of stuff to read. Reading is my favourite thing to do - besides eating chocolate ice cream.
First up is my beloved Frankie magazine.
I love, love, love this mag as it's full of other dags just like myself who are trying to be creative.
Plus the writing is just so, so good. Even Bill loves to have have a flick through this one. It has a little bit of craft, a bit of cooking, stuff to buy, home decorating that is just like mine. It's just fab.

Another mag I love is G magazine. It's all environmental stuff and organic stuff and simple living and frugality and heaps of ideas on how to reduce your carbon footprint. Just stuff that floats my boat really.
I am super excited that Tintin has been made into a movie as it's one of my favourite sets of books from my childhood.
We used to go to The Entrance Library every Friday afternoon and I would always try to borrow Tintin books.
Yesterday in the city we had a stroll around Dymocks and Bill bought me a Tintin book. It is going to be the first one in my new collection. There are 24 in the set. I know it's quite an acquired taste but I do love a bit of nostalgia.

A new book on the bedside table this week. It's got fantastic reviews. It's a bit of a sociology/anthropology book about the lack of interaction between kids and nature these days and the consequences of that lack of interaction. Can't wait to get into this one.
But it's not all heavy going.
Another new book on the bedside table is this bit of chick lit. I can't even remember what it's about but it sounded good in the book shop. I'll take this one away camping with us in January as I suspect it's the kind of book you can read while you cook sausages on a campfire.

What are you reading now?Any recommendations?
Am I the biggest dag you've ever known?

A Dag! Never! Some of the best people I know are dags. I've never heard of G Magazine or Frankie for that matter, but then again I don't generally buy magazines, but we are going camping in January, so I might grab them for a look. What's on my bedside table ATM...We Of The Never Never, Agnes Gunn...Older Than Time, Allegra Taylor...The Power, Rhonda Byrne...and The Bible (not that I am super religious, but I like to read proverbs from time to time, when I'm feeling low it peps me up) My what an ecclectic mix!
I don't think I've ever read G - I'll have to keep a look out for that one. And you might be a dag - but we love you for it :-).
