Just getting a few things down.

Books for Isla

Wednesday, August 03, 2005

My daughter Isla is thirteen tomorrow. Frightening though that thought is, it at least affords me the excuse for some book buying (as if excuse were ever really needed).

She has worked her way through the Louise Rennison books, with their boy entrancers and huge nunga-nungas (if you've been suffering a lack of either of these items in your life of late, fear not: I suspect you're part of a huge majority) and has recently started on the 'Mates and Dates' series from Cathy Hopkins. I have a meeting at SUN tomorrow at London Bridge so I shall head up to the Waterstone's in Leadenhall Market and scoop up a few new titles for her.

I'll be gone before she wakes up a teenager tomorrow but at least I can arrive home with some extra presents for her to open while I remind her how much I love her and how proud I am of her.
