Under the DuvetOK, onto some proper chick lit (or trash as it might be called) which I bought for 10p from the charity shop. You can't complain at prices like that!!

My next book in January is Under the Duvet by Marian Keyes. This isn't actually one of her novels but a collection of stories from her life and some of the articles she has written for magazines. I have to admit that I find Marian Keyes very funny, and I have seen her interviewed on the TV and she is exactly the same as she writes. She talks at a million miles an hour in a strong Irish accent and she has opinions on nearly everything. Not everything in this book is funny ha ha, at one point in her life she was an alcoholic and the story about her pursuing sobriety is sad, and yet she brings her own twist of humour to what must have been a vile time. Not the best book I have ever read by any stretch of the imagination, but it amused me when I should have been working. An easy read and there were a few points that it made me laugh out loud.
