I’m off on an unseasonal holiday – yes, I know I’ve just been away for Christmas, but holidays are a lot cheaper in January than at other times of year – so I’ll be back in a week. I’ll leave with a song for a Sunday coming up tomorrow, and the weekend miscellany today. Have a great week!
1.) The book – I saw Eric/Lonesome Reader tweeting about All the Lives We Ever Lived by Katharine Smyth, and it seems almost absurdly up my street. The subtitle is ‘finding solace in Virginia Woolf’, and its a memoir of turning to Woolf’s writing during a difficult grief.
2.) The link – is a little unusual for a book blog. I don’t think I’ve mentioned Bulb before, have I? If you’re in the UK, I recommend them as a potential energy supplier – they’re much cheaper than my previous one AND they use renewable energy. Start the new year with an ethical power decision! And if you use my referral link, we both get £50 off our bills – but they’re great with or without my referral link, promise.
3.) The blog post – a little belatedly – enjoy what is sure to be the most delightfully middlebrow ‘best of 2018’ list you’ll read (and will doubtless have us all off hunting through secondhand bookshops).
There you go, swanning off on holiday, leaving me in deadly temptation to buy the books you callously mention…
Haha! Not sorry at all…
Have a great holiday – I love out of season trips. I’ve got a day out in Newcastle next week and I’m looking forward to that with more enthusiasm than I can muster, these days, for long summer holidays. The covered market, the Baltic, the Quayside, and all those lovely charity shops….
Thanks Rosemary – enjoy your day out too! Hopefully we’ll both get sunny and cold, rather than grey and cold. Sunny in cold is about my favourite weather.
Really looking forward to your thoughts on the Smyth! :D
I’m almost scared to start it in case it disappoints when it seems SO perfect.
Have a wonderful holiday! I’ve got friends coming to visit soon and am taking a long weekend this upcoming week — which, since it’s Martin Luther King Day tomorrow, means I’ll have two long weekends in a row. Heaven.
Swapped to Bulb, so thank you for the Link, Simon. Enjoy the holiday with all the reading.
Brilliant!
