A kind present from Julia, I had hugely been anticipating these stories by Elizabeth Taylor, having greatly enjoyed her novels (which I still need to blog about as they pre-date my Venture). And they were hugely enjoyed, particularly as they arrived at a time when I was struggling to focus on reading - I could just about manage a short story. It's been published in both an original green cover and a modern green cover; I love both of the cover designs. Julia sent me the later edition, but this is a book I would happily own in both editions for the beautiful pictures! And I'm still on the look out for the other ET short story volumes if anyone spots theM!
I'm still trying to get back into reading, but I am struggling to complete anything particularly weighty, or honestly, most things other than cookery books or children's literature. So I'm planning to slow down my VVV somewhat and just post once or twice a week, thus taking off some of the pressure to keep ploughing through literature which I know I would enjoy if I had my usual concentration levels. Please do keep checking in!

ReplyDeleteI'm always in awe that you manage so many weighty novels per week. It sounds like a lighter diet of cook books and children's literature is just the thing for you right now. (Also, I've been bunging on children's literature myself and it's nice to know I'm not the only one)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate for your kind words - I have more than binged on children's literature of late and am still going! Am now off the nasty tablets but having withdrawal side effects :(
