It’s holiday season – time to think about beach reads!

What Samantha Cameron might have said when casting around for a book to recline with on that hard-earned summer holiday

Well it is hardly any sleeps until we go away which would be :)))) except we cannot decide on books? I said to Mummy it is awful but until now we have hardly missed Govey any more than we miss Hilto or the Clarksonator or the Freuds or the Brookses or the Murdochs or Cou**on or any of the Russians, God the way Govey used to drone on about reading with Haguey, we would be like excuse me you two get a room, but NGL, at least we never had to think about beach reads? As in Dave says Mr Cobber means well, but actually his old copy of Fifty Shades of Grey is not even in a readable *shudders* condition? I'm like babes, honestly, can't I ask Govey, remember last year he was like, Samantha, you loved Harry Potter, try this – I was like oh please I hate Springwatch, but he was so right The Goldfinch *is* basically Harry moves to Manhattan with this adorbs dog, I mean totes tragic but in a good way, plus there are clothes & furniture etc, you do not even miss quidditch?

Well Dave goes, so ask Nicky, I'm like who, he's like MORGAN, she's like, I can thoroughly recommend St Mark's Gospel, I'm like you are joking right, she's like well for humour I would suggest Proverbs, so I try Alexa, she's like, actually blue covers are very *now*? I'm like, awesome, I will take the The Fault in Our Stars, she's like, but unfort sad stories are not, srsly, when eyeliner is having a moment tragic is NOT your friend?

So it's like, help, we must know SOMEONE intellectual, Mummy's like, tbh darling who has the time but if it helps Willie did once give me a fabulous book about golden retrievers? Then I ask Craig, he's like if it's real classics you're after personally I am packing The Fast Diet, I'm like, for a two week holiday, he's like, I know, ambitious much, but everyone says just skip to the recipes? So I am literally in despair when this HUGE package arrives with a note going, "Your 2014 holiday reading – don't be put off by the title, we think Piketty is the next JK Rowling." Dear, forgiving Goveys :)))
