A Christmas Extravaganza...














With the last mince pie eaten, the decorations taken down, and the return of work looming, one could be forgiven for experiencing a dose of the post-Christmas blues. The new year however, entices optimism. On a personal level; resolutions, new opportunities, reunions and family. On a literary level; award ceremonies, new releases, anniversaries and enjoyment.

If trying to reconcile the two is proving a seemingly impossible task, why not ease your way in by catching up with some of the tv literary highlights from over the holidays? From enthralling 'Great Expectations' to the more light-hearted 'The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff', from the much loved 'Chronicles of Narnia' to the biopic 'Becoming Jane', there are hours of entertainment available. Suggestions and links for these and many more are located on the right hand side of this blog. Enjoy!

How to Book Good Naked...












Channel 4 is relaunching 'The TV Book Club', with the first episode due to air tomorrow. The programme was first seen as part of Richard and Judy's daytime show, yet now boasts its own broadcast slot and a ten-part series. Its presenters, or at least two of them, are equally high profile. Comic Jo Brand and fashion guru Gok Wan, as well as Dave Spikey, Laila Ross and Nathaniel Parker spend each week reviewing a new title, from authors such as Sarah Waters and Nick Hornby. Each episode also features a celebrity interview and a look back at previous Book Club members who have now created their own literary success; Kate Mosse and Cecelia Ahearn to name but two. 'The TV Book Club' airs on More4, on Sunday at 7:30 p.m., and is repeated on Monday on Channel 4 at 12:05 p.m. The latest episode can be seen here
