I don't have a favorite place to read it. I suppose the bathroom floor with the door locked is pretty good. That way I'm not disturbed by the kids. Or maybe in bed, after everyone's asleep.Angie Muresanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830360358541367259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-20333060988367387832011-06-15T16:49:42.095-04:002011-06-15T16:49:42.095-04:00Oh, Pamela!

Yesterday, I started a new book called "Half-Magic" with one of my students. It begins with four children who have just made a trip to the library to get new books. They have just fallen in love with E. Nesbit's enchanted world.<br /><br />My Family and Other Animals is very next book I'm going to read. What a funny coincidence . . . but maybe not, if it's the perfect summer book. :)Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-69664737077266637892011-06-14T20:15:33.184-04:002011-06-14T20:15:33.184-04:00I keep coming by to look at this post.

I guess it's leftover from school days, which are far enough in the past to have given up their hold, but somehow haven't. Right now I'm reading The Postmistress by Sarah Blake, and French Lessons by Peter Mayle - both good escapes!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-66595790007109367432011-06-11T11:39:27.159-04:002011-06-11T11:39:27.159-04:00My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell is o...My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell is one of my favourite books.... it's SO funny!Half-heard in the Stillnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840301617199033576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-49952131496793038982011-06-11T01:46:48.262-04:002011-06-11T01:46:48.262-04:00what a wonderful juicy post - filled with book ins...what a wonderful juicy post - filled with book inspiration. the excitement of books, of opening the pages and discovering the mysteries written on there is in my opinion far better than real treasure hunting. i'm very lucky as my man sells second hand books - can you image the excitement when he comes home from another book expedition and i have first pick of the new treasure he's just acquired.

As I read your post it vividly brought back memories of going to the library as a child, often by bicycle. The smell of my favorite books (Little Women) and what the sun felt like as I'd sit reading on the back lawn. I adore the photo of Edward and of you. I suspect your home is as comforting as any place in this world, even Scotland! Maybe we'll meet there someday?<br /><br />xDebDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-45027696549748574692011-06-08T21:37:15.827-04:002011-06-08T21:37:15.827-04:00Hello Pamela

I’ve linked to it in mine so others can find your list. <br /><br />This is one of my favorites of all your posts. I love how you paired reading both with a place and time, capturing the experience. You make me want to travel to Scotland or meet you in that café. How nice to have a dog and reader friendly spot in walking distance of your lovely home.

I just loved it -the idea of different books for different spaces. I've just bought the Drabble book, and in fact am reading one of hers just now - a sort of memoir called The Pattern in the Carpet. A Moveable Feast is one of my top, top books. I love it. I ache every time I read the part about Hadley getting off the train, with her hair that hasn't been cut, and he knows it is over. He blew it. I know there's a fictional version of her life but I don't want to read it. I own a biography which I really must read soon, just called Hadley. It doesn't look like there is much room for you on the chaise!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-38389529403937758042011-06-08T12:00:10.327-04:002011-06-08T12:00:10.327-04:00thanks for the encouragement; yours is a lovely li...thanks for the encouragement; yours is a lovely list. mine is at my blog today, June 8.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-71615135028421890942011-06-08T09:06:21.427-04:002011-06-08T09:06:21.427-04:00Pamela...I loved following you from room to room t...Pamela...I loved following you from room to room to a cafe and then to the Wallace Collection!
