Cover blurb: We all have secrets. Would you share yours?
Pugging school. Coming out. Accidently becoming a killer. The people of Scotland confess to their deepest secrets; acts they regret, childhood adventures. Or simply something they want to get off their chests.

These revelations are by turns touching, alarming macabre and funny. Including stories by well-known writers such as Lisa McInerney, Juno Dawson and Jo Clifford as well at the people of Scotland, this collection unlocks the nation’s strangest secrets.

This book is a present to you from Scottish Book Trust to celebrate Book Week Scotland 2016. HAPPY READING!

In no particular order some of the stories that stood out for me, and why…
…returning later to add thoughts, once I have finished reading a copy of this.

Released 4 yrs ago (11/30/2019 UTC) at Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

In a tearing hurry to prep a Festive BookCrossing Exchange parcel and get it into the post. Nevertheless, instituted a search and label plan for this copy of Secrets & Confessions as while busy realised there was still just enough weight ‘space’ for a sliver of a book in my ‘under two kilogrammes’ UK small parcel. Notice I’ve yet to append my reading notes above, but a search, complete an add, will have to happen later, see ref to the “tearing hurry” already mentioned.

Hoped to get this parcel into the post yesterday but, my seriously, over ambitious plans indicated it’s going to be today more possible. To the next reader: I hope this intrigues and at the very least makes an interesting addition to any BC parcel you may post-on in the future. As you’ve no wish-list nor do the seven books on your BC bookshelf give much indication of what you like to read it means all my Festive BC Book offerings are shots in the dark. My fingers are crossed that some of them hit a reading target for you!

Do let me know how you fare with this!
Festive Cheers rainbow3

Picked up from todays meet-up as these books are just the right size for leaving in leaflet dispensers. Read the first four stories on the train home :o)

A mix of short - very short! - stories & prose but for me they were a bit too abstract & random. I liked "General Lending" but otherwise I wasn't particularly keen on them.

This is one of the many books I found in the amazing box of books the postman delivered at silly o'clock this morning! I've never had so many arrive at once!
Thank you very much, plum. Your generosity is overwhelming - and I won't complain about a lack of books to read for months . . .

Journal Entry 10 by wingNu-Kneeswing at Knaresborough, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Friday, August 14, 2020
I'm English and rubbish at languages! I was taught French, Latin, German and even some NT Greek at school, but none of it stuck - and I've never studied Gaelic, so it's fortunate for me that there are translations of the stories and poems that I wouldn't have understood without (e.g. pp34, 76, 100).

Where I failed was with the stories whose spellings were supposed to represent dialect pronounciations. I couldn't decode them, had to give up and move on to the next contribution in the collection.

I've finished the book - and can't remember any of them, none having made a lasting impression on me. Thanks anyway, plum, for the chance to experience them!

I think I'll pass it on to tree-hugger when I next see her. As a librarian who's been involved with Big Reads and such like, she might be interested to see what other bodies have been giving away :-)

I'm afraid I'm having to clear out a lot of bookcrossing books unread, which I feel very bad about, but needs must. I don't read much any more, so having hundreds of books on a To Be Read shelf is silly because I know I won't get around to them - they're better off finding new homes where they might get read.

Heading from North to West Yorkshire in the hands of the Royal Mail - with my apologies that it's been there before! Oooops! My excuse is that it was a long time ago and I've slept a few times since then . . . :-)
