A Dead Man in Deptford | Anthony Burgess
post image

I‘ve decided to dedicate my reading to focus exclusively on the works of Anthony #Burgess. My main reasoning for this is because of his influence to my life directly, in getting me to become an actual reader, & consequently getting me to expand to other titles/authors.

So I am going back to my roots, to read through the titles I never got to, and with still more in mail, it will definitely be a thing!

In progress:
A Dead Man In Deptford.

Took me back to my childhood. I reread those old Green Meadows stories so many times. When I wanted to share them with my daughters, I could only remember Jerry Muskrat. Couldn't remember the author's name either. I'm so glad I decided to do this challenge with @TheBookHippie Thanks. #ChildrensClassics2020

TheBookHippie These are wonderful I heard there is a book with most of the tales in it!! I am on the hunt ! Such warm fuzzy stories. 4y

Not book-related at all but.... today I saw red squirrels in the wild! I‘ve only ever seen a glimpse of one at a distance - here there were 5 or 6 skittering around all over the place!

It‘s a bit chilly out and about though - certainly not the warmer temperatures that were forecast.... sitting in the van reading before going out for a pub tea later.... and then home tomorrow to my Christmas book stacks!

jenniferw88 Woohoo! I'm so pleased for you! 🎉🎉🎉😻 5y

Hooked_on_books There were bionic red squirrels at my university. They ate out of the trash cans and would launch themselves out when you threw something in. I also had one steal a cookie straight out of my hand once (it was not being offered). I‘m pretty sure they were 2-3x normal size. 😂 5y
squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - I‘d love a bionic red squirrel! 🤣🤣 5y

It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on a screen.
