Time enough for the hasty thought to cross my mind that it was you who were suddenly going to move (and possibly taking the wallpaper with you)! :)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-42964515039546383112017-03-06T16:38:10.631+01:002017-03-06T16:38:10.631+01:00How nice to have the chance to do this - I think i...How nice to have the chance to do this - I think it would be too expensive now! I like books like this too - I mean, peoples' real life experiences of making changes in their lives, preferably with some humour added.

The title is Fallen by Lia Mills - it is quote "a hugely evocative and skillful novel" set in 1916. Beautiful writing, but sad and quite gruesome as it deals with WW1 (the Great War) and the Irish Rebellion. <br /><br />Hey, perhaps I do need a funny book next - or at least something a bit lighter!<br />Happy week.<br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.com
