After a visit to my favourite local book shop- Better read than Dead, I am well prepared.
Currawong Manor is the fabulous Josephine Pennicott's new book. Find out more at josephinepennicot.com
Her previous book Poet's Cottage was beautiful and intriguing, so I am really looking forward to this one.
I first saw Andrew Solomon doing a TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_solomon_love_no_matter_what which just blew me away. I had to wait for this book after it had sold out as a result of his popularity at the Sydney Writers Festival.
Two very different books - I'm not sure where Ill start. Perhaps I'll swap between the two. At the moment I am enjoying that gorgeous feeling of having brand new books just waiting to be opened.
Time to make a cup of tea and let the long weekend begin!
I have read, and really enjoyed Poet;s corner It made me feel like going live to Tasmania. I'm looking forward to this next book
ReplyDeletebut I think it was Poet's Cottage?
ReplyDeleteYou're right Wendy - it is Poets Cottage. I've corrected it now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello Vanna, thanks so much for supporting my book - so appreciated. It's funny how many people confuse it with Poet's Corner! Shades of Westminster Abbey! I hope you enjoy my world of Currawong Manor and you have a beautiful rainy long weekend to curl up with a book. Thank you again - word of mouth means everything. xx
ReplyDeleteI was so eager to start reading that I didn't do a proper edit of the post! Vx
