Since all of my crackers are trapped in an ice-cold bucket (my doggy
abhors loud explosions) and I got a few hours all to myself after that
busy run-up to Christmas I thought it a good idea to send everyone some
Happy New Year’s cheers.
To be frank so far it has been a lousy one and
I don’t except it to get any better whilst it’s taking its last breath.
I had a lovely time being busy with myself (those of you who follow the
forum might just have noticed that) and I’m not happy about that at
all.
Now I will settle in with a bottle of champagne and all those pretty
Christmas lights that are still glowing around me and try to keep in
mind all the positively good that came towards me in my
absolutely-not-OK days – and in this positive spirit I’m focusing on
the next year to come.

As promised I'm trying to keep you updated on Nat's latest TV project "The TV Book Club". The show's team is currently working on its own homepage which will go public shortly. Even more importantly though the book list has just been revealed. Among the authors of the ten first titles chosen for the inaugural series of Channel 4's “The TV Book Club” are Sarah Waters, Nick Hornby and “The Wire” writer George Pelecanos.
The start show will feature Sarah Waters’ Man Booker-shortlisted "The Little Stranger" with Hornby's "Juliet, Naked" and Pelecanos' "The Way Home" following, alongside more unsung titles such as Matthew Quick's "The Silver Linings Playbook" and Roma Tearne’s "Brixton Beach". The list is dominated by the big publishing houses, with two coming from Random, four from Hachette, and one each from Harper, Penguin, Macmillan and Bloomsbury.

Just a short one to keep you updated on the screening details of Nick Tomnay's "The Perfect Host" at the Sundance Film Festival. Here's a short synopsis: Warwick Wilson is the consummate host. He carefully prepares for a
dinner party, the table impeccably set and the duck perfectly timed for
8:30 p.m.
John Taylor is a career criminal. He’s just robbed a bank and needs to get off the streets. He finds himself on Warwick’s doorstep posing as a friend of a friend, new to Los Angeles, who’s been mugged and lost his luggage. As the wine flows and the evening progresses, we become deeply intertwined in the lives of these two men and discover just how deceiving appearances can be.
