It's a damp day here on the Summer Solstice, just as in the opening of "Winter Away" - this passage where the 'heroine' is introduced to her employer by her cousin suggests that I'm going to rather enjoy this book. 😁 @bookstodon

Review by robinwalter - The Sleeping Island

4/5 at
for "The Sleeping Island" - a touch of phoneitinitis from Vivian, perhaps? Next up in back to

for "The Marble Staircase" by Elizabeth Fair. I hope it's as good as Elizabeth Crawford's EXCELLENT intro! @bookstodon

This rant in Nesbit's "The Lark" about the decay of English amused me - even more so when it went on for 3 pages. Plus ça change! @bookstodon

1/3 through "Miss Plum and Miss Penny" and while it's not lighting me up as much as did D. E. Stevenson's "The Fair Fortune", its wry observations have raised a few smiles & in this instance, an actual verbalised laugh 😁 @bookstodon

YouTube - Tere Bin Laden - Ullu Da Pattha

TFW a novel written by a Scottish author in the30s but not published then has a line of dialogue ("Ullu kar batcha!") that reminds you of the theme song to an Indian film from 2010, before the book was first published.

A fun idea suggested by @LyzzyBee_Libro on the other place - a whole month reading books from one publisher
