I still seem to be working 12-14 hour days. *cries* In lieu of a proper post, that book meme, borrowed from thistlerose, erastes and quietliban at the last count.
Name...
Three books that have marked your childhood...
The Chalet School in Exile by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer
Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery
A Dream of Sadler's Wells by Lorna Hill*
...and your teenagehood:
Here be Dragons by Sharon Penman
Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Your three favourite books (only three, even if it's hard!):
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (I am turning into a bit of an evangelist for this book)
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
Three books you could read again and again without wearying of them:
Bleak House by Charles Dickens (anyone notice a pattern here? :P)
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold
Three books you've read recently or are reading:
The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
Thomas Hardy by Claire Tomalin
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Three books that you'll read soon:
Afterwards by Rachel Seiffert (this woman is so good)
Blood Ties by Pamela Freeman
The Persian Boy by Mary Renault
And one special, fetish book that you'd keep with yourself at all times:
Some kind of edition of Thomas Hardy's poetry.
*No one else seems to have read these books, but seriously, I was obsessed. If there was a fandom, I would totally be writing fic for them. Still. Ballet, horses and Northumberland: what more could a girl want?
