I got a few books for Christmas this year:

• The Auschwitz Violin by Maria Àngels Anglada
• Room by Emma Donaghue
• Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
• The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
• The Lily Bard series by Charlaine Harris

It was a tough choice to decide which to read first, so I’ve decided to read them in the order I opened them. First up is The Auschwitz Violin by Maria Àngels Anglada, which Cameron bought for me. I love reading books about the war; two of my favourite books are World War Two (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Diary of Anne Frank). I’ve got two days off, then it’s back to work for 3 days and then a 3 day weekend, so I’ve got plenty of time to get through a couple of books.

Now it’s time to take a look at the January Sale email from The Book People. I had the catalogue through the door a couple of days ago, and there were some really good deals in there.

I think someone needs to confiscate my credit card…
