I ate them all and have never touched one since. <br /><br />I've just finished Cross stitch (it won't accept one word!) which I really enjoyed. Which one do I need to order from Amazon next???? She appears to be pregnant and I can't hang on very long to find out what happens next.

I lo...Suzie - I see you are having a Hardy season. I love his work and have many of his books and lots of biographies/critical writings about him too. Tess is my favourite of his books, although it is so sad. My tastebuds are out of kilter at the moment (and sense of smell) and nothing tastes like it should, and then it just "sits" in my tummy, which is Not Good!!<br /><br />R. Robin - DO check out Phil Rickman. I love his books which are set along the Welsh Marches, an area we know well and are planning to relocate to as soon as our house is sold. I am eagerly awaiting the Edward Thomas book, of course. My "special" books stay with me forever.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-42683757391079629322014-02-15T09:18:51.426-08:002014-02-15T09:18:51.426-08:00Oh so sorry to hear you are ill and having odd foo...Oh so sorry to hear you are ill and having odd food cravings...same for me if I get a stinking cold...crave lots of odd things and hate heavy stodgy foods like bread and potatoes.<br />I have finished Tess and Under The Greenwood Tree, and then read Jude The Obscure-which I had forgotten just how much I loved, and I'm now on The Woodlanders. This stormy weather has certainly got me reading like crazy!<br />I hope you enjoy your new book.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-65104502079579222014-02-15T06:50:37.232-08:002014-02-15T06:50:37.232-08:00I hope you feel a lot better soon :)

My body is actually responding and fighting back now - although I awoke drenched in perspiration in the night - so feel a little like a wet dish rag today! Judy Kendall writes very well and really knows her subject. She is the speaker at a day school in Oxford held by the Edward Thomas Fellowship. I'm hoping to go, so fingers crossed. Enjoy the book : )Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-8493470254750714072014-02-15T03:37:36.945-08:002014-02-15T03:37:36.945-08:00Sorry you are ill again.

As it is set in Hay, reading it was almost as good as being there! I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />I was awake in the night as my body decided it would sweat out the evil bug (did IT) so feeling somewhat jaded this morning. I find I am better up and moving around though, or else everything starts to ache.

Sleep is my prescription, every time.<br />I'm the same with books, but because I always buy them second hand when amazon shopping at around £2.80 each, I lull myself into a false sense of security. I'm reading Phil Rickman at the moment too- got all of them except the most recent too and now have a lovely pile to read through- should keep me going for a while at least :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-70652792835866124032014-02-14T11:04:41.265-08:002014-02-14T11:04:41.265-08:00I've had that same yearning before SSS.

I thought I would stick to safe eating and bought some fish. That was an error. I wanted M&S fish which is so fresh and tasty - this was Bird's Eye and tasted like it had been dead for months before it even got the breadcrumbs slapped on it. So I had half a piece and 5 chips. I had better lose some weighth now!!!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-43941104798750791622014-02-14T10:54:07.360-08:002014-02-14T10:54:07.360-08:00Isn't it strange how books just fall into that...Isn't it strange how books just fall into that basket!<br />Hope you feel better soon.<br />It's a Chinese takeaway that I always fancy after I've been unwell and not eating.I can just hear my mum tutting and offering dry toast!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.com
