Recommendations for Off Grid type books please

2012-02-05T10:11:30Z

I need to find a book but there are so many out there, it is a friends birthday next weekend and he is very interested in living off grid, although in the meantime they (him, her and two children) are trying to be self sufficient as possible. I am looking for a book about experiences of living off grid if possible or general books on the subject

They already have books like Self Sufficientish and love referring to them.
Any recommendations?

Oh dear I’m slightly ashamed to admit that yet again I’m reading teen fiction!! I heard about this series of books a while ago but then they appeared in the book shop I work at. Apparently they were self published but have now been picked up by a major publisher so have been repackaged.

Has anyone else read them? Believe me it’s no work of great fiction but it’s interesting to see the Pagan calendar in a mainstream book.

There is also quite a lovely website and forum to support the books here

Please reassure me that it’s ok to pick up teen fiction every now and again…. I can’t help myself

Point me in the direction of a good book.

I had been reading “Precious Time” and something else by the same author (gosh! Pg brain strikes again!) and I really enjoyed them. I now have nothing to read (well, I have a MOUNTAIN of books in my house but none that are grabbing me!)

I need a good book that i can read and drift off into . You know the type - the one you can’t put down and just got lost in the story line you feel you know the characters.

Can anyone recommend any for me?

Thanks! x

Children’s books - confidence and self esteem type?

2012-01-30T18:46:41Z

I’m looking for some fiction books for DS, suitable for 3 years and up, along the lines of:

why its good to be me/why I love being me
celebrating individuality
learning - how we might not know how to do something just yet but with time we can grow and learn

Any suggestions? Google/amazon searches haven’t been successful yet, perhaps I’m not using the right terms though

Thanks! x

Ladybird billy goats gruff

2012-01-23T15:52:00Z

Ok, bit of a cheeky request here. I am making a billy goats gruff set, and am basing it on ladybird books telling of the story. However, I don’t yet have the book, as my local bookshop don’t have it and there is a 1-4 week wait from Amazon. I have managed to glean the colours of the goats from the front cover, and the top part of the troll. But does anyone have the book that could tell me what the lower part of the troll is like, ie what colour his trousers are, has he shoes? Or is he barefoot?

The book in question is this edition

Thank you
