#OffMyShelf “hardback”

This book disappointed me. It‘s not quite memoir nor is it a proper history of jigsaw puzzles or of children‘s games. It‘s a hodgepodge and, IMO, it didn‘t always hang together. Some will find the hodgepodge charming, no doubt. Still, Drabble is a good writer, so it wasn‘t always a slog and I did learn the occasional fact, which hopefully I will remember. Like the Temple of Mithras in London.

#WhereAreYouMonday

I‘m mainly in Long Bennington in Lincolnshire off the Great North Road where Margaret Drabble‘s maternal grandparents had a tea house and lodging during her childhood. This is a gentle, introspective memoir, focusing mainly on one favorite aunt, but also quite meandering.

Court! 💜 You are too sweet! What a fantastic package to get, especially on a cool, rainy Monday. I have looked at this puzzle so many times but hadn‘t gotten it. And I love mini puzzles. Thank you! 😘💜💜💜

Done & dusted. Holiday puzzling. That ALL blue section? It was soooo hard #whinytone

I finally have a table to work jigsaw puzzles! I‘ve loved doing puzzles since childhood but it‘s been a long time since my last one. This one is a scene from the movie, My Neighbor Totoro. It was a gift from my husband. He knew I wanted to start audio puzzling. I‘m currently listening to Death at Bishop‘s Keep by Robin Paige.

A particularly rubbish picture of a fabulous jigsaw I just completed. It's called The Bizarre Bookshop and it's by Colin Thompson. I absolutely love it. There's so much detail to discover. I also have this design as my Kindle skin and it's a mural in my daughter's school library. The jigsaw is by Ravensburger & I think their jigsaws are the best I've ever done (image range and quality wise).
