Is that a photo of jean Shrimpton on that book cover? I'm reading a collection of ghost stories, I always read them at Christmas time. xLeeAnn at Mrs Black's https://www.blogger.com/profile/05923451542086673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-43000788745046761362013-12-18T03:44:48.323-08:002013-12-18T03:44:48.323-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-14883568954885665052013-12-18T03:44:17.485-08:002013-12-18T03:44:17.485-08:00I'm tempted by the Tartt book.

I've ordered one of the earlier Phil Rickman's based on your recommendation. I too have a connection with the borders and love the area so will be pleased to read something set there. Ellis Peter's Cadfael books are some of my all-time favourites and also feature the borders. Hope all is well.

I admit that the one-week library return deadline came before I'd finished the book, but that was my fault not that of the book. I don't like to rush my reading when I am enjoying the author. Now, the library has informed me that I have the book waiting for me again, so I will resume reading this coming week.<br /><br />Since then, I have read Penelope Lively's memoir Ammonites & Leaping Fish, and would definitely recommend it to others. It was funny that Ms Lively mentioned a favorite author of hers was Jane Gardam, and J G was the author of another book I was reading, The Man With the Wooden Hat. (that book was loaned to me by our mutual reading, and writing, friend, Elizabeth. Jane Gardam is definitely an author to seek out.<br /><br />Now...in the midst of all sorts of other seasonal and non-seasonal activities seeking access to my time, I am reading Georgie Greig's Breakfast with Lucian. I've been a fan of Lucian Freud's work for ages and ages, and am finding interesting to read this book (and look at the photos) by a journalist who LF did grant access to breakfast get togethers over a long span of time.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what Elizabeth thinks about that Moroccan tagine cookbook. Just the descriptions of the dishes have made me hungry.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-14608547524196887602013-12-14T11:23:24.537-08:002013-12-14T11:23:24.537-08:00Good morning Cait......thanks for stopping by to s...Good morning Cait......thanks for stopping by to say hello. I liked your list since I am also a "blue stocking"...I'm always looking for good reads. <br />HOME, MINDFULNESS AND THE ARTS THERAPIES and THE GOLDFINCH are the three that I myself might look into. Not much of a poetry reader....although on occasion I do try to write a little verse or two.<br /><br />stay well,<br /><br />JoMy Grama's Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114089036939629527noreply@blogger.com
