Blue Remembered Hills | Rosemary Sutcliff

Spent a week in London and came home with a stack of books, a mix of new and used. Was excited to find both a Persephone and Slightly Foxed edition.
Could have spent days perusing book stores but my family was less inclined. Just as well because my suitcase was pretty heavy!

sarahbarnes So fun! That looks like a great stack. 😀 4h

Billypar Sounds like a great trip! I never heard of that Lispector - that's quite a title. 3h

charl08 Just seen the penguin archive books in a display at.a bookshop. Tempted by most of them! 2h

TheBookHippie @Billypar Was going to say the same!!! I do love her writing! 2h

A Classical Education | Richard Cobb

Garden reading while the husband gardens. 😆

This is a memoir of a man who reconnects with his childhood best friend from boarding school after said friend is released from prison for the shocking murder of a family member. The story opens with the author meeting the friend at a train station and then goes back over their school years together and the times they spent at each other‘s houses.

Christine What @Tamra said - I want that to be my summer motto: “Garden reading while the husband gardens.” 😄 11mo

CarolynM Perfect! Interesting book, too😆 11mo

LeahBergen @TrishB It was! 11mo

LeahBergen @Christine @Tamra @CarolynM I assuaged any guilt (not really) by bringing him frequent drinks. 😉 11mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts Thanks, Cathy! The little dwarf lilacs should be blooming soon. 11mo

Jess_Read_This Your role as beverage manager/landscape designer is a crucial one! That SF is one that I‘ve been mulling over purchasing. Looking forward to your review of it! 11mo

LeahBergen @Jess_Read_This Oops, I forgot to reply! I enjoyed it. The writing takes a bit of getting used to at the beginning (he was mostly an academic author so there was a teensy bit of disconnect for me) but the story really powers it along. 11mo

Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen All of this is good to know before I pick it up. But it sounds like one worth reading! 11mo

Slightly Foxed 9 | Gail Pirkis

Love this literary journal. It‘s expensive for me to order it from the U.K. but it is worth the indulgence. 💗

Mr Tibbits's Catholic School | Ysenda Maxtone Graham

I‘m currently reading (and really enjoying!) this #SlightlyFoxed book about a South Kensington Catholic boy‘s school. It follows its history from 1934 until the present day with lots of tidbits about eccentric teachers, headmasters, and quotes from past students.
