I’ll be winding down for Christmas soon, but it seems to be full-speed ahead for the next week or so – including heading off on two fun jaunts today and tomorrow. Today’s involves a train journey, at least, so I can put some time towards finishing off A Century of Books. (I thought I’d be sauntering towards the finish line, but it might be a bit tighter than I’d anticipated…) Anyway, here’s a book, a blog post, and a link to entertain you this weekend…
1.) The link – is a vlogger, Kazen at Always Doing, who talks about some of her favourite book podcasters. I was delighted that Rachel and I are included with ‘Tea or Books?’ – but it’s also great for some other bookish recommendations I hadn’t come across before.
2.) The book – Claire Harman has written several interesting books before, including some about Jane Austen, and I’m intrigued by her latest – Murder By the Book. It seems to be in the line of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher and others that look at historic murders. Plus, the cover is beautiful. Find out more over at Penguin.
3.) The blog post – Hayley is doing another advent of pairing books with drinks – the first in this year’s series is here. Tbh I pair pretty much every book with a cup of tea, but for the more adventurously minded, go and enjoy!
I clicked on your post as a matter of course and never expected to see myself here – thank you! It’s my pleasure to spread my love for the podcast on Booktube. Best of luck finishing off your Century of Books – it looks like I’ll be cutting my own goal of books read this year a little close, and I need to get cracking!
I’ve seen the Harman book in stores but never picked it to actually read what it was about. Now having read the blurb, it sounds fascinating.
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend jaunts!
You cannot beat a good Negroni!
