i ve been excited to get hold of his diaries ever since i heard they were being published they start off in 1977 in his fruit picking and hitch hiking years and take us through his life of drug binges dodgy apartments and many many odd jobs before his writing started to get noticed it s interesting to read about some of his pivotal moments as they were actually happening whether it s meeting his long term boyfriend for the first time a guy named hugh who he describes as handsome a nice guy gay or the death of his mother and the first family christmas without her christmas was hard when mom was around we d remain at the dinner table for hours but this year we all scattered the moment we finished eating continue reading share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x

me to a wonderful if strange family and their eventful lives the writing is delightful humorous and almost whimsical but there is a darkness running through the book allowing the reader to truly feel invested in the characters and their lives starting in essex in the early 1970 s we meet narrator elly as a young child her family comes with baggage in the form of dysfunctional parents and a misfit older brother when a disturbing incident occurs it s elly s brother joe that looks out for her he buys her a pet rabbit which they decide to name god much to the disapproval of elly s school teacher

january i went on a truly unforgettable holiday to new orleans and very quickly fell in love with the place it has an incredible atmosphere ranging from laid back to festival ready the people are friendly and i enjoyed listening to the accent which is so different to my own british english of course you can t talk about new orleans without mentioning the music mellow jazz in the supermarkets kids playing self made drums basically just buckets on the street and talented musicians playing in local bars every night of the week just thinking about it makes me want to go back but one of the things i loved the most was the amount of amazing bookshops i visited six in total and hope to get reviews of most of them up on the blog one of these days today i ll start with faulkner house books

linnea dunne july 17 2018 july 21 2018 bundleofbooks 1 comment since the popularity of the little book of hygge i ve seen a number of similar gorgeous books about the scandinavian lifestyle i ll admit at first i thought they were a coffee table decoration to look at and skim through but not exactly life changing and it s true that while this little book about lagom is perfect for the coffee table it has helped me to improve certain aspects of my life it really struck a chord with me when i bought it last autumn i was going through a busy period at work and was really struggling to keep my life

a comment over the past few years i ve been trying to make my way through the wide range of feminist non fiction out there i ve hardly made a dent in the ever growing list but i can finally tick off the beauty myth i found it quite slow going a problem i often have with non fiction it makes your brain work harder than fiction but i kept at it and it was definitely worth the slog published about two decades ago it s not surprising that the book often comes across as dated but shockingly it is at times still very relevant however i found myself very torn while reading i didn t like the sometimes forcible way wolf tries to get her point across being especially unfair to men at times it s not helpful to write statements such as continue reading share this share on facebook opens in

apocalyptic britain it s such a ridiculous premise the world goes blind overnight and gets taken over by giant flesh eating plants but somehow wyndham makes it work we meet the narrator bill mason in a hospital bed in london where he is recovering from an eye operation he soon realises something is terribly wrong and it s a familiar scene as he goes through the steps of confusion denial and then dawning realisation that the world will never be the same again i have a fascination for this type of story it s not so much the monsters or strange supernatural events but rather the exploration of how people cope with it continue reading share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on tumblr opens in new window tumblr share on pinterest opens

after i finished the harrowing between shades of gray and was in desperate need of something cheerful to warm my heart i couldn t have chosen a better book to make me smile this is a lovely little book about a struggling american writer in new york and her correspondence with an antiquarian bookshop in london the first half is a copy of the letters starting with helene inquiring after certain
