The lovely Simon of Stuck in a Book very kindly invited me to participate in his online version of My Life in Books, and my responses appear today, with those of fellow blogger Margaret from BooksPlease, a delightful blog that I've only just discovered. You also get to find out what we thought of each other's choices - Margaret pegged me as a keen swimmer based on mine! Do have a look; the series runs all week and the choices and comparisons are fascinating.
Nice to 'meet' you Tanya! I go to a local 'face-to-face' book group and we met this week. We were choosing which book to read in January and one of the other people suggested 'Waterlog' and I was able to say I'd heard it was good - in the end the majority chose Roger Deakin's 'Wildwood'. I'm going to look out for 'Waterlog' to read as well.
ReplyDeleteI see from your comment on Simon's blog that you're an admirer of Karen Armstrong's books too. I can't remember how I found her books - it may have been after seeing on on some TV discussion programme - I find her fascinating to watch and to read.
Thanks again for participating, Tanya - and it's lovely to unite you with a blogger I think you'll love, and vice versa! When pairing bloggers, I'm always tempted to put like-minded people together, but then I shuffle things a bit so that the paired bloggers are a little different, but will both be interested by the other's taste. That's my hope, anyway!
