I love books about women's experiences in WW2.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-10680138317182679642009-07-10T07:33:56.257+01:002009-07-10T07:33:56.257+01:00Oh and I have just enlarged your photos and seen w...Oh and I have just enlarged your photos and seen what else you have on your shelves and I see so many books that are on my own!

I wouldn't have bothered if I'd realised that my Mum and his Mum would also give us Easter eggs.

Too bad you didn't live closer! I would love to join you and Claire in a Persephone challenge but it's quite laughable as it takes me a week to read one! I really would like to read Mariana or A London Child of the 1870's though so perhaps if I start now lol!Darlenehttp://www.rosesoveracottagedoor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-58524602005100134222009-07-08T18:21:25.430+01:002009-07-08T18:21:25.430+01:00New photo on...I'm afraid I seem to have a ser...New photo on...I'm afraid I seem to have a serious case of camera shake today so the new one isn't much better, but I've taken a close up of the Persephones as I figured that's what people are most likely to want to peruse.

Go ahead and moan, I hate it when people are martyrs to pain. Well, I take that back...my husband will moan about a hangnail and that can get pretty irritating.<br /><br />Did you see the Persephone Post blog yesterday? There's more Whipple on its way for Fall and they're looking at compiling lists of the most popular books - hooray!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-35462975308086791362009-07-08T13:58:40.033+01:002009-07-08T13:58:40.033+01:00Great organisation!

I think only some glossy magazines will do, and not from the pile of worthy magazines on my TBRNP (to-be-read-newspaper-pile), which are mainly cooking magazines. Hmm, don't Waterstones card holders get a free copy of their magazine - I could pop in and pick that up perhaps...<br /><br />Or maybe I just need some new shoes.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-26698537113889755712009-07-08T11:56:09.063+01:002009-07-08T11:56:09.063+01:00I love what you've done with the Persephone sh...I love what you've done with the Persephone shelf! Even if it is more for practical than aesthetic reasons, it really works.<br /><br />I am sorry you are feeling so jaded. I think that finding something different in the library and then watching a DVD on your laptop will make a world of difference. Perhaps a revisit to beloved childhood boarding school literature should be prescribed too...Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.com
