A fairly quiet reading week. I was tempted by a combination of the Book God and Silvery Dude to pick up The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters which I’m thoroughly enjoying – one to savour slowly, not just because of the prose style but because I’m reading an enormous hardback with a delicate cover which means I can only really read it safely at home.
Only one book arrived this week, picked up because of a review by dovegreyreader, and a subsequent mention in Lizzy’s Literary Life – Dickens’s London by Peter Clark which looks fascinating and a good companion to some planned wandering around London. I’ve ordered the other book Lizzy has mentioned as well
I had hoped to have a few more additions to the stacks but failed in my attempt to spend my birthday book token yesterday; still something to look forward to though.

I’ll never forgive myself for not being able to attend the booksigning for The Glass Books here in Croatia… I have the translated version, though, but I would like to read it in English.
have a great week 🙂

Oh cool, I’ve been hearing about the Clark book and you’ve reminded me of it again. This time I”ve bookmarked it. I like the sound of your planned walks around London, something I am going to do next time I’m over. I have to get to Keat’s house! and get into the Cheshire Cheese, now that we know where it is. (we could only stand outside three years ago, it was New Year’s Eve and booked for parties already) Cheshire Cheese was a pub Dickens liked to go to, as well as Johnson, who lived in a house down the alleyway where he wrote the dictionary of English language. I enjoyed going through his house very much. Now that I’m beginning to read Dickens, there will be more to explore! lol not that London isn’t chock-full anyway…..
