I'm currently reading Shakespeare's Sonnets (MIND-BLOWING) and River by Ted Hughes, which is a joy eternal. I recently read Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, which was marvellous and I think you'd really like it.<br /><br />PLZ SEEK OUT TIC PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEBODY.<br /><br />I know, can't wait to read them both! (In the worldwide read-a-thon ... good idea!)<br /><br />Thanks <3<br /><br />That is so sad! I send you my support. Wait wait but when are you moving?!

YOU BOUGHT THE PRINCESS BRIDE?...ZOSEIFJA'SDFKJ! YOU BOUGHT THE PRINCESS BRIDE?! (Okay so I knew that already.) I mean, The Princess Bride? What is this book of gloriousness? You say you had to make yourself put it down, huh? That sounds promising. Perhaps I pick it up asap and see what it's all about. *cough* ;) <br /><br />I love all the books! (Also, love the Buttercup pun!) The Burns book sounds really good. I love books with a history like that. That is so cool that your great aunt had pressed flowers between the pages! <br /><br />There is a lot of poetry here. I feeling a mild urge to run to the library and borrow some. Except that my TBR is currently horrendous. Also, The Icemark Chronicles. I think when I've finished Percy Jackson, I'll have to seek it out.<br /><br />The Accident Season looks really good! Also, The Scorpio Races. Because Maggie S. and horses! Obviously, I need to read it. We all need to read it. Let's have a worldwide read-a-thon. And when the worldwide read-a-thon is such a success nobody wants to stop we shall keep reading with The Princess Bride. . .<br /><br />I like your photos. And the title. :) <br /><br />My bookshelf right now looks very sad as I am going through the process of packing. Also there is the awful experience of what books do I take with and what books do I have to leave? It's traumatizing. a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-81060495235199593942016-06-16T22:31:25.293+01:002016-06-16T22:31:25.293+01:00Very much looking forward to Westwood, because of ...Very much looking forward to Westwood, because of that stunning opening passage.

AND THE SCORPIO RACES. I JUST LOVE IT TOO/SO/VERY MUCH. <br /><br />Also, I read that poem you linked to and it's pretty amazing, even though I didn't understand the first read-through and had to read the explanation-y bits at the end. (Poetry just isn't my thing because I try to read them as fast as I read books but then I don't understand anything and get lost and confused and frustrated. You seem to enjoy it, though, which is cool :) )<br /><br />(Also, would you be interested in swapping MS critiques at some point?

Nice how the books match so well. ;D I sadly don't know of a lot of these, but I've definitely heard good things about The Scorpio Races and The Accident Season, and I actually have a copy of The Princess Bride on my shelf. Haven't read it yet, but the movie is hilarious and cheesy and a must-watch.<br /><br />Speaking of book hauls, just today I picked up Mortals by Ted Dekker & Tosca Lee for about $5. Hardcover!
