All my Persephone Books have arrived ...

... I seriously need to stop buying any more books until I've read the "to-be-read" pile beside the bed (don't you just love my little-nut-brown-hares? I love them all the way to the moon, and back). A close up for the stickybeaks. The current read, with optional glass of fizzy water. I find fizzy water aids the reading parts of the brain. Yes, I know it's the third one in the series while the second is in the to be read pile. I fucked up, I mostly read at night, when I'm tired and easily confused.

You know Sam McBratney has written some new ones - Guess How much I love you - one for every season - they come as a set of four in a little bag.

I did not know, guess what I want for xmas!?

M said...

I think very high TBR piles are an excellent design statement. And nut brown hares! Oh I love them all the way to the moon ... and back, as well!

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Oooo, I have a design statment - cool! (Sometimes I dream of it falling on me!)

Zee Poodle said...

LOL Ms DMM, it is a fine list - when do you hope to have completed such a big read?

Yes yes. Fizzy water is a fine thing to sip when reading. I love to drink it when writing and fell in love with raspberry flavoured fizzy water in the Other Place. Lummy.

P.S. Thanks for the tip about Sam McBratney, S.
We have a copy of the board book version of "Guess How Much I Love You" and it's precious to us.

Oh, my, does that ever look familiar! Except for the nut brown hares, of course. You must have been reading "Anne of Green Gables" when you got the hares.

I tend to read at night, or early on the weekend if I wake with the birds. And I always drink fizzy water, (only 2% of the water buying population apparently do fizz)

I like stacks of books, in fact I need to buy some more, but I also need new brake pads... dilemma, die happy or die fast ;o)

Ms Brown Mouse said...

CAW - I'm working my way through it, slowly. I like my reading water plain (but fizzy).
Lee - I keep them up there, safe from the pusscats.
Zoomie, I don't remember hares in Gables - now must dig out a copy.
Roo - we are a rare and refined bunch, we drinkers of fizzy water. And get BOTH, you can't take it with you!

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Zoomie, I just got this email from my mum -
"Hello Mouse,
I have your copy of Anne of Green Gables here, "this edition published in 1972" and it has your name on the flyleaf. I've just finished reading it, too. I even went to the kids' section of the local library and got the next book, Anne of Avonlea, because I was so entranced by it, all over again.
I don't remember any hares in it, either.
I love you,
j"

Morgan I have to say your Mum amazes and impresses me no end. You are a very lucky gal...

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Lee, she's not bad for an old bird!

Roo said...

Aren't mum's brilliant. Mine has all(for all 4 kids) our report cards and books from school. I was busted once, because I forged my dad's signature, when we where looking over them one year and get this, I was 23 and dad still had a pop about it!

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Roo, my mum handed all my old report cards over a few years ago, when she moved - looking over them was quite shocking, I come across as some sort of illiterate clot!
And mums are brill, mine used to sign my homework diary for me, a full term in advance!

DMM & Roo -
I fear I am feeling quite green right now...
