Dave Cooks the Turkey by Stuart McLean

This is a timeless Christmas tale as told by Stuart McLean of the Vinyl Café. Dave is enlisted by Morely to help with Christmas by preparing the turkey and chaos ensues. From hotels to gravy dripping from the lights it's hilariously funny and definitely worth the read.

For me Christmas isn't complete without hearing the story of Dave and the turkey and it's one of my favourite Vinyl Café stories, second only to, maybe Dave and the duck. From the busy months prior to Christmas to the weeks leading up to the big day to the chaos of the day itself this story is full of mirth and hijinks and will keep you laughing all through. Whether you listen to it on the radio show or read the book version this tale is sure to become a Christmas favourite and you're going to want to listen to it and read it time and time again (even when it's not Christmas). Stuart McLean has a real gift for story telling and while that comes through in all of his tales in this one it really shines. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a Christmas story, or any story really.

Hey guys, I know it's a short review today but what can you say about a short story without giving everything away? I would have posted this sooner but my computer was down for a couple of days, it gave me chance to catch up on my reading (sort of-ish-not really) and another review with be forthcoming tonight to make up for my lack of posting.

I did find out that I need to stay away from bookstores because no matter how big my stack of books to read is, if I go to Chapter's it's just going to get bigger (you'll notice that the list of things to read is actually growing not shrinking (well, not noticeably shrinking)

Despite my ever growing reading list I am always looking for things to read and review so comment, comment, comment! You can also suggest books to me via twitter (my info is at the top of my blog as well as the hastags you can tag suggestions with). Speaking of Twitter, I've decided to start using my Twitter in conjunction with my blog, I'm going to post there every time I review a new book from here on out so keep that in mind.

Oh, by the by, if you do suggest something for me to read keep track of my blog to see when I post it, by all means but again, I'll be posting on Twitter so if you're on Twitter and you miss my blog update, follow me on Twitter and you'll get the Twitter update.

I think that's all for now! Thanks readers!
