I enjoyed Butter as more literary fiction, knowing that it wasn't the crime thriller whatever it was described as. But knowing that before I started meant I approached it differently with different expectations.
Having said that I hated the book so maybe its a good thing!! 
- but they are another thing I have an obsession with, The Secret of Colour and there's a book about fabric and one called Craft which are great general reads.
I've just started my The Will Of The Many re-read.same! i’m really looking forward to it after hearing so much good here
Oh I love it! I know someone who could really do with that - where did you get it?I thought I'd post this here, as I think you're less likely to lynch me out of grumpiness.
It's not about books, but will probably end up on my bookcase, and I'll be going back to the shop to get more.
It's an ornament that I bought to brighten up my home a bit, cost £1.99, but it's having a miraculous effect on people.
Everyone who looks at it starts smiling like a Cheshire cat - big squashy grins.
Even the till operator, as it was actually facing her on the conveyor belt, grinning away at her.
I've done her job and it's a bit soul destroying. She stopped and burst out in a big grin, then looked at me - I was thinking what's up? She even looked me right in the face again and said goodbye when I got the till receipt like we were best buddies.
It's carried on ever since with people bursting out grinning at me the minute it smiles in their face........and all this for £1.99!

i love that it’s smiling in a very cute way but ALSO looks like it’s up to mischief! That’s super cute and would be great for a bookcase. I’ve actually started adding things to my bookcase but I’m on the look out for more little knick knacks. I’ll come back and share pictures of what I have later, but does anyone else want to share if they have anything on theirs?I thought I'd post this here, as I think you're less likely to lynch me out of grumpiness.

Home Bargains. Quite a lot had gone, so people obviously feel the need of a grin.
I have a couple of Jellycats on my work desk for the same reason - it’s harder to be grumpy when food with a face is beaming at me from below my monitor
I've still got my mince pie out. Went back and bought another one.
, as she introduced her new baby and couldn't stop crying, even though the birth of this baby was better than the last.definitely crocheted and wish I could share my page without outing myself cos I make this kinda thing!!!Home Bargains. Quite a lot had gone, so people obviously feel the need of a grin.

Think it's knitted or crocheted.
ETA.
