God, today is depressing isn’t it? We’re back at work with a cumulative ten-day hangover and our bank balance is redder than Auntie Pam’s cheeks after too many festive sherries. Therefore, we’re planning to spend the weekend holed up with our fluffy-wuffy cat, the new series of Celebrity Big Brother, and a very good book. And what’s the name of the book in question? Country Pursuits, by a certain Ms Jo Carnegie – the very same Jo who was Deputy Editor of heat magazine until she turned all fancy-schmancy published author on us. We’re actually very proud of Jo, as her bonkbuster (seriously, it’s proper smutty) is currently number one in the Sainsbury’s book chart (lend us a fiver, Jo, yeah?). And today it comes out in paperback, which means you should be able to scrape together the last of your Christmas money and get yourself a copy. It’s the perfect escape from this month of misery and, if you’re too cold, bloated and knackered to contemplate any saucy activity of your own, it’s definitely the next best thing.
