Here are some more books that I have recently read and HIGHLY recommend. Click on the links if you want to buy them. If you click on the link and purchase something a lovely charity called the Living by Giving Trust (see here) will earn some money to support its causes. :) I supported them recently, and though I've not been to any of their events, I have supported them as much as possible. This is one way I can do that.

I love reading by the way! Can you tell? I've always got five or six books on the go, which is a bit silly - but then I eventually find one I finish; and then move on to another one I've half-read. To be honest, it's very easy to start reading a book on a long train journey and get bored of the reading - so it's good to have another book waiting to be read. So, this is why I end up with a few books on the go - but it works for me at the moment. Anyway, here are some books that I've read over the last few months, and I really do highly recommend them all!

This is an oldie book, but there's nothing wrong with that! Is there? No! The Real Benny Hill is a really great, great book, and so interesting. Benny Hill was such a sorry and lonely figure - but then I suspect he was OK with this. The book is written by one of his friends and is a really intimate and beautiful portrait, but it is also one that tries to understand Mr Hill. Pick up cheap copy today? Use the link above.

Secondly, if you're interested in the family background of Princess Diana, you can't do better than The Spencer Family by Charles Spencer. It provides another intimate portrait - this time of a famous family throughout lots of English history, and then a VERY famous family after Diana Spencer married Prince Charles. Well recommended.

And finally for now, and away from the biographies, here's my next recommendation, which is a classic: King Solomon's Mines (Oxford World's Classics). If you want to read a classic Victorian-era novel, full of adventure and high-jinks, then you can't go far wrong with this book. Read today.

More soon! :)
