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. 😀 2w

Billypar Sounds like a great trip! I never heard of that Lispector - that's quite a title. 2w

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

Melmoth | Sarah Perry

Yes. This is really doing it for me. It's sombre and mysterious. It touches on WW2, topical matters, loneliness and folklore. It references #Essex. Highly recommended. #librarybook #englishauthors

uncommonpoppy Thank you @CoffeeNBooks ! Nice to connect with people who love reading as much as I do. 6y

Severnmeadows I found the Essex Serpent in a charity shop - but couldn‘t get past the first few pages. Some books resist you, for whatever reason. 6y

uncommonpoppy @Severnmeadows I was the same actually, despite being very keen seeing as it's one of the few books I've ever known that referenced where I lived. I had to go back to it later. This one was different, I was drawn into the story right away. 6y

Severnmeadows @uncommonpoppy I‘ll certainly give it a go then, Thankyou. (edited) 6y
