This week’s topic is a Freebie. Meeghan says, "Topic of your choosing for today!"

There are always subjects that I miss when they're on and then sometimes, other bloggers use subjects as freebies where I think, I could use that one day. Like this one. Cindy from Cindy's Book Corner had this a while ago (here) and since I wear glasses myself, I noticed that they're rarely featured on covers. But - I found a few.

Babel, Isaac Emmanuilovich (Исаак Эммануилович Бабель) "Red Cavalry" (RUS: Конармия/Konarmiya) - 1926

A witness oft he civil war when Cossack cavalry invaded Poland after WWI, Isaac Babel describes the attack on a train and the subsequent killing of nine prisoners.

Brown, Marc "Arthur's Nose" - 1976
This book about Arthur's nose was the first one in a long series about children that are different from others and it is still as relevant as in 1976. 

Frisch, Max "The Arsonists" (GE: Biedermann und die Brandstifter) - 1958

Gottlieb Biedermann is a rich person who is upset that some arsonists are in town who start living in people's houses while intending to burn them down. 

Perkins, Sue "Spectacles" - 2015
Sue Perkins is one of my favourite comedians. She is witty, she is funny, she is smart, she is kind, there is nothing about her not to love.

Wodehouse, P.G. "The World of Jeeves" (Jeeves #2-4: The Inimitable Jeeves #2, Carry On, Jeeves #3, Very Good, Jeeves! #4) - 1923/1925/1930 

There isn't much more to say about these books other than how wonderful they are. I mentioned before that they aren't just funny but that the language is superb. My final sentence to the first book I came across was:"A truly delightful book. Whenever you feel gloomy, read a bit of Jeeves and Wooster!"
