Elizabeth Baines: Too Many Magpies as book group choice on Hubpages
http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2015/07/too-many-magpies-as-book-group-choice.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Too Many Magpies as book group choice on Hubpages. Chuffed that Andrea Jackson has chosen to recommend Too Many Magpies. As a reading group choice on Hubpages. It's flattering, but to be honest I'd rather not think too hard about people pulling my books apart in the cruel way we do our reading group even with the greats! Many thanks to Andrea for her thoughtfulness and attention. Labels: Too Many Magpies. Theres a...

Elizabeth Baines: April 2015
http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Reading group: Stoner by John Williams. In his own article about the book, the inner space of the individual is assailed and monitored on all sides. In fact, the book has still not taken off in America in the way it has in Europe, and John suggested that, in its controlled, contemplative tone and its insistence on the life of the mind, it is in fact more European in flavour than American.

Elizabeth Baines: Reading group: Soldiers of Salamis by Javier Cercas
http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2015/07/reading-group-soldiers-of-salamis-by.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Reading group: Soldiers of Salamis by Javier Cercas. Another book (suggested by Ann) which tended to prompt discussion of the history on which it centres - in this case the Spanish Civil War - rather than of its treatment of those issues or the book as a literary artefact. However, the unusual structure of this book is of great interest both politically and aesthetically. Our archive discussions can be found.

Elizabeth Baines: Writers travelling: wear dark specs unless you're looking for a story
http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2015/07/writers-travelling-always-wear-dark.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Monday, July 06, 2015. Writers travelling: wear dark specs unless you're looking for a story. What a wonderful time I had at the Unthology 7 launch in Norwich - great readings from Dan Powell, Elaine Chiew, Adrian Cross, Gary Budden and. I got out my book and he asked what I was doing. I said I had things to read before I got to Norwich. He said, 'Oh, I'd better leave you to do your homework! Well, how could any writer resist? Theres an...

Elizabeth Baines: May 2015
http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Monday, May 18, 2015. Why writing is on hold. I don't think it's just the sound of hammering above, and battens being thrown down all around; it's also to do with my displacement from my nook. I've puzzled about why, since I've written in so many other places: I've lived. Happen. So why can't I do it now? Links to this post. Labels: The Writing Life. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Very exciting. Nicely typeset, too. It's pretty great being in ...

Elizabeth Baines: Reading group: Beloved by Toni Morrison
http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2010/04/reading-group-beloved-by-toni-morrison.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Reading group: Beloved by Toni Morrison. Ann suggested this book because she had attended a lecture given by an American academic, in which he had advanced the notion that fiction is better at conveying the reality of historical moments and situations than 'factual' history. The two novels he cited as being excellent examples were Coetzee's Disgrace, which we have also discussed. Edited in: When it was suggest...

http://elizabethbaines.blogspot.com/2015/07/edge-hill-awards.html
How to be a writer without ending up sozzled, behind bars or insane. Tuesday, July 07, 2015. I would hate to have been a judge of the shortlist, though: the other four books, by Carys Davies (The Redemption of Galen Pike), Annaliese Mackintosh (Any Other Mouth), Toby Litt (Life-Like) and Rose Tremain (the American Lover) were all wonderful, as I said here.
