pickYesterday‘s 10 minute op shop before ballet. Grand total🟰 $43.95. I heard the writer of the swimming book speak at the Sydney Writer‘s Festival. He adores swimming at Coogee as I do. I heard the tagged book‘s author and Peggy speak at the Byron Writer‘s Festival last year. All the talks for both festivals are available online if anyone is keen. I‘m perusing the magazine on the train this morning on my way to work with my tea.
pickThis book goes almost “frame by frame“ over the Bayeux Tapestry to interpret both what is happening exactly and why it's being shown, as well as providing context and detail about the making of it -- I found it fascinating.
Snow, driven by a biting November wind, flurried against Guyon's dark cloak then swirled past him towards the castle glowering down from its crag overlooking the spotted River Wye.

pickThe vill of Sticklepath holds many dark secrets and when the skeleton of a young girl is found and rumours of cannibalism abound, Sir Baldwin and friends come to investigate.
The author is very good at invoking an atmosphere but be warned, it's a very depressing one.
