I'm reading two good ones right now, Deep Creek and The Testaments. What an accomplishment from this new-to-me writer. You'll love Girl Woman Other when you get to it. The Rafa highlights from the east have been videos lately, so I brought over a couple of the recent ones from the last thread. >27 Berly: Thanks re the second round, Kim! I always like to have a photo of Rafa on a new one. Did she balance that portable writing desk on it? I wish I knew more about it. For such great writing to come from such a small space says a lot, seems to me. I expected it to be mentioned and maybe featured in this special. The only thing I missed was I was much struck by JA's very small circular writing table at Chawton Cottage. Now I'm going to look for others she's done. I had no idea Lucy Worsley is that delightful in person. I did see that "Jane Austen: Behind Closed Doors" with Lucy Worsley, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The first episode of this tv adaptation was definitely not a yawner. Those are the only writing of hers I'd say that about. The original chapters were a yawner for me, and I've read a lot of her books now other than the big 6. I'm surprised to be looking forward to it, too. >26 NarratorLady: Oh, you're welcome re Sanditon, Anne. I really enjoy his color sense in his illustrations. Those toppers are a nice diversion, aren't they. We and others in the square got a big kick out of it. He had a plan, and he was remarkably determined and persistent in carrying it out. If you go back to the last thread, there are more photos of what the curly-tailed and curly-haired little fellow is up to - he's creating his own sculpture from those big chess pieces. I'm glad it's doing well for you overall. Some readers of The Chaneysville Incident haven't liked his digressions as much as the rest I ate it all up happily. But other than that, it's been a great read. That part hasn't captivated me like, e.g., Young Men and Fire. You know, I hit a "stuck in neutral" patch in Deep Creek - she dedicates an awful lot of pages to the wildfire, doesn't she. Yeah, the old "the more posts the merrier" Paul is back, looks like. >21 msf59: Thanks, buddy, and I'm glad you like the toppers! It has been a buzz-y beginning to the year, hasn't it. >20 bell7: Thanks, Mary! Good to hear the toppers came through for you again. I've read the "Ancient" poem (have we all, from our school days?), and this take on it sounds intriguing. Thanks for the tip on the Rime of the Modern Mariner GN. Thanks! Ha! I'm glad we could give you your Rafa fix, and some toppers you like. It would be lovely to see you more on LT this year. >17 maggie1944: Hi, Karen! This is a pleasant surprise.
