Gone with the Windsors

1. Figure skating all the way. I got home from work 4.5 hours ago and all I‘ve done is watch the skating I missed overnight!
2. Laurie Graham- especially the tagged book! She‘s funny, smart and historically spot on.
3. January- I‘m all celebrated out for another year!
4. Death of Stalin - brilliant, funny but very, very dark
5. Happy birthday to all the February #littens - and to my mum (on the 12th!)

rubyslippersreads ❤️❤️❤️ Laurie Graham! 7y

Verity @rubyslippersreads I 💖 her books so much. I have a signed copy of GWTW that she sent me when I lent my copy to a friend who didn‘t return it and I moaned on Twitter that I hadn‘t got a copy any more. But it was too nice to read so I bought a second hand copy to read. Then the friend who nicked my copy had a book clear out and gave me first dibs before the charity shop and the original one was in the box so I got it back. So now I have 3 copies. (edited) 7y

Gone with the Windsors | Laurie Graham

Love the idea of #MeetTheLittens @maich - here are mine:

1. Northampton, 🇬🇧
2. Gone with the Windsors (I read it at least once a year!) or one of the Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane books (I've almost always got one of them on the go on audiobook)
3. Peter Wimsey
4. Pillow Talk
5. Buffy!
6. At the moment, Irit Dekel is my most listened to
7. Blue
8. Detective or romance
9. BBC newsroom
10. No, but I claim a share of my parents dachshund puppy!

Sydsavvy BBC, seriously! Go you❣️ 7y

Verity Awww @Sydsavvy and @maich thanks guys! I'm on my last nightshift of 5 this week so it's not feeling very fun at the moment! 7y

Sydsavvy Well I just have to say thank you for helping this American find some sanity in our most recent election. BBC coverage made me feel infinitely more sane. If that's possible. 💁🏻😳. Seriously thank you and tell your people, too! 7y

Sydsavvy And now I'm interested in that Gone with the Windsors too, lol! I remember picking up a book on Wallis once when I was in London but it was so heavy I bailed on it. 7y

Verity @Sydsavvy I love GwtW so much. Its a dim but snarky southern lady telling the story of the abdication. Frothy and funny and really quite accurate. Except for the fact that Maybell and her family didn't really exist! 7y

Sydsavvy That sounds perfect. I love Brit humor! 7y

rubyslippersreads Love this book! I need to reread! 7y

I'm in a book giving pyramid thingy - this is what I'm sending to my person. You're asked to send a well loved book. This is one of my all time favourites. It's out of print here so I had to get a secondhand copy but I think it's worth it.

I've never done a book post thing before - so many of the Litsy ones are in the US and i worry about the cost of postage (to get to me mostly). #bookpost #goingpostal
