Things in Brown Paper
Things in Brown Paper | Donovan Irven
2 posts
One man's death leads his brother into the labyrinth of memory. A piece of land holds the key. A story of family, of broken ties and longstanding grudges, Things in Brown Paper weaves a tale across time that is at once a mystery and a biography of a forgotten era. As Winston pieces together the story of a land steeped in legend, he begins to uncover the bonds that are wrought from blood, and stronger than the iron it carries. Recounting a long history of labor, moonshine, and murder, Irven's second novel is a Southern Gothic about the heights of love and the depths of depravity unfolding over three generations.

I came into town to pick up a book for somebody else's Xmas present - mission accomplished 🎁
Then, had a major bookcident! 😲and bought something for myself So, I've come for a sit down and a brew in the WestminsterTea Rooms to recover and plan strategy.
Do I add it to the Christmas book pile I've already bought myself and hope Mrs B's festive cheer gets me off the hook, or do I smuggle it in and hide it in the stacks? I'm thinking Plan B!

batsy "Oops"! ? Plan B is sound. Also everything looks so festive and cheery ? 1y

vivastory I'm with @batsy Plan B! Also bookcident is perfect 🤣📚📚 1y
tpixie @vivastory and @batsy are right! Plan B! What a fun place to go to sort your decision! And #bookcident should become the most popular hashtag #️⃣ on Litsy!!! 1y
Bookwomble @batsy @Linsy @jlhammar @vivastory @tpixie I went with Plan B! 😁 The Westminster Tea Rooms is always a nice place to visit, and as well as their traditional 1920s Mapp-and-Lucia vibe, they do an excellent choice of veggie and vegan options - I didn't take a photo of my vegan sausage and mash with onion gravy, but it was 😚👌 1y

Bookwomble @tpixie I did! I've been feeling a little low recently, so it was a bit of needed self-care 😊 1y

📯📚Book Haul!📚📯
I've been feeling super chilled the last couple of days, and hoping it lasts. Sitting in my sun-soaked garden with new books, music and a Pallini bitter should help 😊💛
