How about heart for food or drink? They sell it in Tesco! I did wonder about that, I've even eaten it! My mum served it to us when we were children and we hated it! Seemed a bit tenuous

My food and drink was "Evil Spirits (The Life of Oliver Reed)" - can't get much more tenuous than that!

Ok, now down to 3 I didn't get. Need to get going on the 2018 challenge now, and see if I can actually do this one. My second book of the year certainly fits a category. Off to start a list now (I was going to print it but think I should go "hi tech" and do it on the PC. Yep, self confessed dinosaur here)

Oo, you can do it Sarah, I've got one on the PC - no surprise there - it'll change as I go on though, but at least there's a basis.

(You'd scarcely believe I was once a technical author writing user manuals for software would you? But it was back in the days when Wordperfect involved putting in codes to get bold, italic etc and floppy discs were actually floppy!!!)

She may not be a member but she sure has a broad church approach to reading. All sorts on that list!
