My step brother and my friend both got a slow cookers this holiday season. Hmm. seems to be the thing.
My friend also got a slow cooker book. I'll check the title. I know she kept on commenting that it had "nice color photos"

[quote=""EC2""]I doubt it as I always buy my own books these days. Haven't opened most of the pressies because we're waiting for youngest son to come home from work. He's on a 12 hour shift today. I've bought him a Terry Pratchett novel for his stocking filler. I think the title's Money, but I bought it and wrapped it a while ago, so I can't remember![/quote]
Would it be Making Money? If so, snap! I gather it features a run on a bank - prescient or what? (Pity the bank in question wasn't called Petra Borealis).

I've read this one. It was pretty good as normal for Pratchett!

I didn't care as much for Money as I have his other books, but I think it was because there just wasn't enough discworld in it for me. I'll be your son will love it!
Ok, catch me up on the lingo - is a slow cooker like a crock pot from the 80s? I had one for years, and loved it. Then it just stopped working and I never replaced it. Whats the difference between them?

Basically the same thing I think, except the cooking bowl in a slow cooker comes out from the unit whereas a crock pot was pretty much all in one.

Royal Road to Fotheringhay by Jean Plaidy is coming to me as the replacement gift from my mother for The Birth of Venus. I asked her for any Plaidy the bookstore had in stock and so chose Mary of Scotland over the only other Plaidy in stock, The Rose Without a Thorn, about Katherine Howard.

Thanks Diamondlil - actually remembering now, thats one of the reasons I decided about not getting a replacement - cleaning it was a pain! But I'll have to check these new ones out
Its not a book, but the next best thing - Booklovers Page-a-day Calendar. My DH gets this for me each year. Many times the selections are ones I've read or knew about. But often I have found treasure. Tho I am bad and don't exactly wait for day to day to find books!
