Happy weekend! I’m off on holiday so won’t be blogging for a bit. But, dear burglars, there will be someone in my house while I’m away. No burgling please! Or burglarising, for my American friends. Or burglarizing, I suppose. The word ‘burgle’ has lost all meaning for me.
An episode of ‘Tea or Books?’ will be coming out while I’m away, but otherwise I’ll leave you with a book, a blog post, a link.
1.) The blog post – Susan at A Life in Books always comes up with interesting topics for blog posts, and ‘Five Novels I’ve Read With Unusual Structures‘ is no exception.
2.) The book – I loved comedian Tom Allen’s book No Shame, and I’m looking forward to Too Much coming out on 10 November. I recommend listening to him reading his own audiobooks. This memoir will cover his father’s recent death and, if it’s anything like the previous book, it will be sensitive, observant, and hilarious.
3.) The link – I love the ‘Never Too Small’ YouTube channel – looking at how architects have designed stylish, functional homes in small spaces. Here’s one to get you started, but you might end up getting addicted and binge-watching…
Have a lovely holiday Simon! I’m also looking forward to Too Much, having enjoyed No Shame.
Oh my, that little apartment is gorgeous and so cute!
What if I just… you know… squat in your flat? That works, no? And yes, those YouTube videos of small houses and the like are addictive! I’ve seen the one you linked to – ingenious!
Have a great holiday! I’m looking forward to listening to the new tea or books?
Have a lovely holiday!
A bit off piste but what was the title of your thesis,please?
Thanks for asking! It was Dark, Mysterious and Undocumented: The Middlebrow Fantasy and the Fantastic Middlebrow – available online if you Google:)
Looked at the abstract.Fascinating!At 75 I’ve decided to read only women’s writing but I will certainly look at “Miss Hargreaves”as well as the women authors.
Thanks for sharing.
Oo lovely!
