Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas

The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas

This Christmas McFly's Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter bring toilet humour to the jolly season. The title tell you exactly what to expect, and my especially favourite part is when Santa, who's eaten along with everything else festive, rides a wave of poop out of the Dinosaur's rear end....

Anyway, I thought I'd have a play around with my copy and camera one evening:

November Covers

As Christmas fast approachess we have some beautiful and intriguing covers to tempt the money from our pockets. This month my eyes can't help but be drawn to Laini Taylor's Days Of Blood and Starlight [Hodder & Stoughton, HB]. Although looking back at Aprils top choice of The Wind Through The Keyhole I'm wondering if I just have a thing for covers featuring fire.

In amongst my Top 5 is Pratchett's The Compleat Ankh-Morpork; a guide to the city and its establishments. For any Discworld fan this book is an absolute must. It is beautifully made and designed with maps of the entire city that you can spend hours of your Christmas day pouring over. Perfect present material. Others making the grade are:
