Ooo some really good recommendations here! I’ve been in a fiction tunnel recently but this makes me want to dive back into memoir.

I love memoir too much, but actually really do miss a bit of good fiction

Oh how I love reading about other people's reading. And always excited to hear about a book someone loves...I am definitely bookmarking The Art of the Personal Essay for future reading.

It's quite a tome... but one of those books that you can dip in and out of.

A belter of a Sunday Shelfie to read on a Tuesday; I was watching a puppy on Sunday and know that you will both hard relate to that! Thank you Anna and thank you Lily. Quite a few titles to add to the bedside book cairn. No beautifully carpentered shelves here. Not yet anyway.

Thanks, both! And that 50% read feels about right for me, too. Love that you have your bookcase back, Lily. I'd it's the one in the photo nestled in that book beside the fireplace then it's definitely home now.x
