Calendário do Advento Vampiro Magazine #ColecçãoVampiro
A partir de amanhĂŁ, vou publicar neste blog um post por dia durante 24 dias. Cada artigo falará de um dos 24 volumes da revista Vampiro Magazine, publicada em Portugal entre 1950 e 1952, que acompanhou durante esse tempo a publicação de romances policiais na Colecção Vampiro. Quero sobretudo registar os tĂtulos e autores que foram publicados e dar uma ideia de como era a revista.
#12BooksForChristmas “The Mousetrap” by Agatha Christie
Another favourite book and play and a stunning edition. I wrote about it here.
#12BooksForChristmas “The Willows at Christmas” by William Horwood
I’m adding this one to my December TBR. The book is set just after the events of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and before the ones of The Willows in the Winter, from the follow up series by Horwood. It’s beautifully illustrated by Patrick Benson. I only found out about this follow up series of the much loved book by Grahame through the wonderful YouTube channel of Miranda Mills. Check her website where you can find links for the several resources she creates.
Taxa da Cópia Privada custou 35M€ aos Portugueses em 2022 #PL118
Era suposto pagarmos 15M€ ao ano por conta da taxa da cĂłpia privada: uma compensação por um possĂvel prejuĂzo para realizarmos cĂłpias privadas, prejuĂzo esse que o legislador nunca demonstrou existir. Nos Ăşltimos dois anos pagámos mais de 30 milhões de euros por ano. Um “estudo” da AGECOP permite concluir que as pessoas gravam sobretudo fotografias tiradas por elas prĂłprias ou amigos e portanto nĂŁo sujeitas a taxa.
#12BooksForChristmas “How to survive a Classic Crime Novel” by Kate Jackson
With all the crime fiction readings during the long winter nights, you’ll be needing this survival guide (also, it’s a great source of discovery of new books). Make sure you grab more than one, it makes a perfect gift for the crime fiction lover in your life.

#12BooksForChristmas “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas” by Agatha Christie
Another favourite author and reading.

A collection of short stories with one with Lord Peter Wimsey occurring in a Christmas Eve, an excuse to drop in this list one of my favourite crime fiction authors.

The 4th instalment of the Flavia de Luce book series (a favourite series), about an eleven year old girl with a love for chemistry that solves murders. “…and suddenly Flavia, in the midst of designing an experiment to prove the existence of Father Christmas - has another, far deadlier mystery to solve.”
