Gwen Raverat's Period Piece, a memoir of her childhood in Cambridge in the late nineteenth century.

Sounds interesting!

I have completely failed at reading more books this year. I think I've read, like, 12. FAIL. I still have a pile of unfinished ones that I must actually read before I start anything else. And it's not like they weren't interesting or I got bored, I just... stopped for some reason.
