Pageturner to cheer you up when you are feeling low !!
Festive holiday with your family can be the nightmare during Christmas with your mother telling you off (I'm 55) ; shushing your teenage children when they say anything controversial or ungrateful; opening useless presents etc this year was made quite bearable by one gift from a close friend - Ben Hatch's book. I could relate to it as an older single parent living in Brighton who has travelled a bit too and I sniggered to myself each night and it was the highlight for me of the obligatory visit to relatives. Ben is wry, (need to keep a close eye on the predictor text as that came out as wet) ; sardonic; childlike/ish; a great dad; very funny and a great find. I have been converted to reading all books and newspapers on my phone but being given a book as a present was a real treat and reminded me that a real book makes a better present than a download anytime!!
