The holidays are coming soon!

Christmas trees and Christmas decorations:

Last month I was in Spain (in a safe green zone) and the sun was shining brightly while the thermometer fluctuated between 27 and 32C° every day.

One day we decided to drive to Moraira to try out a modern tapas bar. From here to Moraira is about a fifteen minute drive and on the way we pass many shops.

You have to imagine that at 20:00h the temperature was still 23C°. Well, in one of the larger shops on the road to Moraira they already had lots of Christmas trees and Christmas decorations in the window. They are there even earlier than in Belgium "Van Gastel" who has been the leader for the last 10 years.

New books:

After 6 weeks in Spain it was time to return home. Despite the fact that I continue to work from Spain, I had not received any new supplies of books in the last few weeks. Fortunately, I had received a lot of books in July and August. But "you have to feed the beast"! So, hardly back home, I called a few publishers and started buying books again.

I bought a batch of great and recent new books that I listed this week on www.thekingofbooks.com and on bol.com . There are too many to mention, but there are names like Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Evy Gruyaert, Goedele Liekens, Mary Arlidge, Karin Slaughter, Aster Berhof, and many more. Also a lot of good thrillers by Dutch and foreign writers. Also books about the history of cycling and reference books about the best cyclists of the past 100 years with facts and photos by Eddy Merckx among others. The new book about Club Brugge is also a beautiful book. Also new books about the Second World War. In short, take a look at www.thekingofbooks.com .
