Big excitement here in Cardigan Girl's Flat....the Persephone BiAnnually arrived this week and featured an excerpt from my review of The world that was ours.
Of course, Persephone BiAnnually also means new Persephones, and I immediately ordered both Dimanche and Other Stories and Still Missing, plus Good things in England to take advantage of the discount in ordering 3 books. Wonderful - can't believe how quickly they arrived or how lovely the endpaper to Still Missing is.
Just in time for Persephone Reading Week...
Congratulations on the mention! I hope that you enjoy your new Persephones!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I didn't know there were new Persephones released! Just checked out Still Missing and it sounds riveting! I can't wait to have my own copy. I've been preparing my reviews for Persephone Week....can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOh, how exciting! Congratulation on appearing in print and on getting such lovely new books - I'll look forward to hearing what you think of them!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Hope that means my BiAnnually will be arriving soon, too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, congratulations. I recognized quite a few blogger names in this issue!
ReplyDeleteThe Persephone Biannually is so wonderful; each issue you get a high quality short story and a free book mark, amazing! I cannot think about the story from the last edition, Dorothy Whipple's 'A Lovely Time', without my heart wobbling into my throat.
I l.o.v.e. the fabric used for Dimanche and Other Stories.
Oh that is thrilling news! My copy will most likely be delayed a few weeks due to the flight backlogs. Looking forward to seeing your excerpt in print, Verity!
ReplyDeleteA well-deserved mention and honor! Have heard that those of us in the US may wait awhile due to postal delays/ cancelled flights. I will try and be patient. But it is hard. Can't wait to see new endpapers!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Looking forward to receiving my copy now! Also really looking forward to Persephone week.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see names I recognised on the blogs report in the Biannually.
ReplyDeleteAlso to spot on the events page the Persephone tea party in Edinburgh that was inspired by the group of D E Stevenson fans who are making the pilgrimage to Scotland in June. They're coming from Canada and the USA, there will be some from the UK as well.
I won't be at the tea party, but will be thinking of my DESsie chums who are having that fun.
How wonderful that you got a mention! I can't wait for my copy of the Biannually to arrive.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my Persephone Biannually--it probably won't come for another week or so--but something to look forward to. I've been very good--not ordered any new Persephone titles for ages--I think I deserve a new book (or three...). Enjoy your goodies!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your enthusiastic comments! I hope that all of you still waiting for BiAnnuallys get it very soon and that you can treat yourselves to new books in time for the Reading Week. Wonderful stuff!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Verity! I look forward to reading your article when my PB arrives :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Verity I noticed you in there. I also got a little excited as I was in it too - double hoorahs all round hee hee.
ReplyDeleteThanks digifish!
ReplyDeleteSimon - yes, I did spot you, and a couple of other friends too :)
