There is no book being reviewed this week because I am moving house. All my books are in boxes, waiting to be delivered (tomorrow!) from a depot somewhere near Corsham, to our new house just outside Bath, in the west of England. I am so tired from garden wrangling, tradesman supervision, long-distance driving, listening to men grumble, and project managing other people’s schedules that I fall asleep before reading anything. I long to see my books again, and have time to sit and read something. But not this day.

Sympathies! We forget sometimes the recharging quality of reading. I wonder if you’ll leap on an old favourite when the first boxes are unpacked?

I think it’ll be the unpacking and ordering of books that will undo me. Constant opportunistic browsing.

Corsham lovely and quite nearby. Welcome to the Wild West!

Thank you! My grandparents lived in Hilperton, but I don’t remember being taken to Corsham much. I know Bath better. I’ve discovered the Corsham bookshop though …

Just outside Bath? Oh, I am envious. 🙂 I’ve actually been to Bath – many years ago – a marvelous time was had by all. What a gorgeous city and arriving by bus as we did, we saw the most startlingly beautiful countryside. As for the moving of books….I wound up giving away a third of my library when I moved two years ago into a small apartment here in North Carolina. (The move was from New Jersey.) And I still have run out of room for the remaining books. Still having to give some away.

We’re already at the stage of giving away furniture on Freecycle. But not books.
