Three 'r's

 

 

 

 Reading: I'm deep in a cracking children's book together with an absolute treat of an adults' book and a most interesting article by Hilary Mantel on how winning the Booker has changed her life (which, maddeningly, I can't seem to find online*).

     Receiving: just arrived, a "magical and original novel" which was apparently part of the Obama family's holiday reading!

     Reminding: if you haven't already done so, do enter our two birthday prize draws - here and here - and if you're outwith the UK you are still eligible as the Royal Mail and I can send the prizes anywhere.

*Edited to add: Hurrah! See M's comment.
