100 Years of Books. Making a List: Women in Translation Month. July 25, 2015. Jane @ Beyond Eden Rock. August, for the second year in a row, is Women in Translation Month. Last year I read and I discovered some wonderful books, and so I couldn’t let it pass me by this year. I never can resist making a list, and so I looked around the house and I pulled together a lovely pile of possibilities. Each and every one is calling me. I can’t possibly read them all but I will read some of them. Here they all are:.

A Century of Books. Showing all posts in Goals. January 27, 2017. January 28, 2017. But I will try to remedy that this year. I decided that I will start with. A Very Great Profession. By Ms Beauman herself as it describes her interest in and love for the books she’s chosen to republish. I’m looking forward to not just looking at and enjoying the beauty of these books but to actually honoring their authors by reading what is between the iconic covers.

I Love. This. Book. June 25, 2015. When I first read. As is often my challenge, I have many things to say about a book but the thought of having to come up with some coherent, cogent review is beyond my patience and abilities. So, it’s time for another bulleted list. This one will appeal to the Bohemian in you. A woodblock artist, book maker, writers, librarian, gallery employee, arts administrator, and a poet all walk through the story at various points. Lively the person looks fairly conventional and p...

However, the book she chose to talk about last Wednesday was the more recent After Such Kindness. Which I reviewed here. To today’s children. That temporal distance is also relevant when we think of...

Happy Birthday To Me…. (or rather, an excuse for more books!) – A reader's footprints
https://inkyfoot.wordpress.com/2015/02/21/happy-birthday-to-me-or-rather-an-excuse-for-more-books
A reader's footprints. A reader's footprints. Lost in the Stacks. The world is a book…. February 21, 2015. Happy Birthday To Me…. (or rather, an excuse for more books! Yes, more books have arrived and been loaded onto the shelves in the past two weeks. And since I do find it hard (believe me, I do) to justify this massive addition so soon after the even more massive bundles. That came in just last December, I thought maybe I could get away with the idea of them being viewed as my birthday treats instead.

A reader's footprints. A reader's footprints. Lost in the Stacks. The world is a book…. June 27, 2015. June 27, 2015. Of Love and Loss…. But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they are strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up, Mr Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky. 8216;Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ (1958). It still has the same effect.
