The Books That I Read in October

I didn't seem to read that much in October.

 I was just busy with work, Mum and then too tired and lazy to read, and instead I found myself firmly plonked down in front of the television drinking coffee, which always seems to be the easier option.  But the books that I did read helped me and did me some good, so that more than makes up for it.

Firstly I finished off Wintering by Katherine May, as talked about on the September books post.  I quite enjoyed it, but not enough to keep for a second read, so it went to the charity table in Booths, along with a couple of other books I didn't want to keep.

Then I dug out some of my Harcombe diet books as I was feeling in need of a reset.  I had been eating far too much stodge, this is what helped me ditch the large amount of carbs in favour of eating unprocessed and simple foods.  Sometimes you just need a reminder of how you used to eat.

This seems to be the slightly more up to date version of the book in the top photo ... one that incidentally I am quoted in a couple of times.  Oh the fame and glory. 😄😂

 

I also read through this one again, this is a club edition that you get as part of a trio when you join the Harcombe Club, something I've been a member of for many, many years.  It is available on Kindle and as used copies HERE.  If you want to read more about it.

I read through this one too, it would seem I was on a roll.  😀

I can't find this one anywhere to link to, but like most of Zoe's books it gives you a very similar background story and a good run through of the basics of this way of eating.

My Life in Houses by Margaret Forster.

I had over a week off from reading and then I started this book.  It was recommended last month when I asked what everyone was reading, and it sounded just up my street ... and it really is.  When I mentioned on my Books Instead of Pumpkins post that I had bought a copy for 50p off Amazon, lots of you said that you had already read it.  I was obviously very late to this particular party.  I have about twenty pages to go and then I can choose a new book for the start of this month.  

I always think of November as a very booky month, after all it's the cosy season, short days and dark nights, and time to hunker down and relax a bit before the madness that lots of people put themselves through for Christmas.

Whatever you are reading now, I hope you are enjoying it and staying cosy.
