What I’ve Just Finished Reading
A couple of books, but I’m planning to write full-length reviews of them both. Oh, and Sorche Nic Leodhas’s All in the Morning Early (illustrated by Evaline Ness), a picture book about a boy who heads off for the mill early in the morning and picks up a piper, a pair of shorn sheep, four farmers, six rabbits hirpling in the heather… One of those songs that builds on itself, like “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” don’t you know.
What I’m Reading Now
Still traipsing through Hilary McKay’s Straw into Gold. Quite liked the story where Cinderella captures the prince’s heart at the ball by cheerfully telling him about her day-to-day life in the scullery! Now that’s a take I haven’t seen before: usually she has to conceal the lowly state to which she has fallen.
What I Plan to Read Next
Still attempting to read my massive pile of library books under control, a hopeless task when I keep adding new books to the pile… But I ask you, how was I supposed to resist Colin Jones’ The Fall of Robespierre: 24 Hours in Revolutionary Paris? A little light reading to prepare for my trip to France!
