HeatherWhile I'm wittering on about #books, these are two of my to-read piles. One is in a bookcase as I knew I'd be a while getting round to them. I bought those for 50p a pop at a Christmas bazaar. They often have some mid-century gems but not this time. The other is by the bed, the Active Pile. The top three are proofs sent to a bookshop in town which offers them to #bookgroup members. The bottom two are Christmas presents that I was delighted to receive. House of Splinters is excellent. #bookstodon
Stolen from @Funktious as I thought it was such a great idea: a thread of all the books I read in a year.
Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hession, read for a #bookgroup that unanimously loved it. Set in modern day Ireland, it's a contemplative and gently humorous story of two men who in their own ways don't fit in to the world. It's lovely, and quite different in tone to the TV adaptation that treats them as a couple of kooky misfits. They are so much more than that. #books #bookstodon 🧵1
