"...and how she gave me life, and how she made it in..."

Happy belated Beltane to them as celebrates it! I got back from seeing cybermule (H) in Bristol last night. I read Sarah Waters' The Paying Guests on the coach down. I kept looking up and there were rookeries, then globes of mistletoe, in the trees lining the motorway. It wasn't always easy to tell the two apart, until the rooks lifted from the branches. H

Lovely! :)

It was! I'll go back. Many times, I hope. :)

You have to, sweetest. Now the house pines for you too <3

[ashlyme]

Thank you for saying that. <3

Even as I've reduced (drastically) the amount of bookbuying over the last ten years to about 1 tenth of what I used to do (for both money and space reasons), I still love few things as much as a great used bookstore, and even fewer than experiencing a bookstore with a partner.

(I also really liked The Paying Guests.)

Bookhunting with a partner's a rare joy. I manage my collection by gifting books to partners and friends - it means much more than just taking them to a charity shop.

(I'm enjoying the Waters a lot! A good return to form after "The Little Friend", which left me maybe a little cold.)
