pickFound this in a 2nd hand bookshop & couldn‘t resist after Family Roundabout. Tilly enters service as a 15 year old in the late C19th and watches as the family she serves grows up and grows old. Unhappy marriages feature again & there is a degree of contempt for the social norms of the monied classes. Tilly has more sense & more empathy than all of her so called betters. I‘ll be looking out for more Richmal Crompton.
pickThis is about the recovery period of Yozu's life after a suicide attempt. He is kept in a sanitarium along the coast while he is healing. During this book, Dazai continously breaks up the story by including chunks of his own dialogue that don't necessarily add to the story, but they make for an interesting read. I haven't ever read anything like this but could definitely read more like this.
Happy May Day ! From a company called Radical Tea Towels !
bailedSad that I wasn't able to finish this book. It was all pictures of his writings/documents and a few photographs. What I did read was boring to me and didn't want to continue.

This Christmas is definitely adding to my TBR shelf! I‘m so excited to read some of these books - how can I find the time?! I got these goodies in a secret Santa swap exchange. It‘s a cast iron tea pot and red velvet cake tea!
