19 Things I’ll Do in 2019

I’m a little hesitant to publish this post. Mainly because I wrote a similar post at the beginning of 2018, and quite frankly, I didn’t do very well in fulfiling the things I’d said I’d do. I confess, too, that I’ve felt challenged (in a good way) by some who’ve deliberately not created a list. […]

This month, we’re starting with the classic Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray. My Fair Lady has a word in common with Vanity Fair, and is […]

18 things that happened in 1918
premium
Earlier this year, I wrote about 18 things I planned to do in 2018. I’m not sure how successful I’ve been (I’m a bit scared to look!) but with the centenary of the First World War’s Armistice Day fast approaching, I’ve turned instead to the events, people, books and films of 1918. While the list […]

I cannot remember a time in my life when I wasn’t surrounded by books. As a kid, I was never happier than when I was perusing the shelves of a library or browsing a second-hand bookshop – apart from being tucked away somewhere reading the books I’d chosen. When I was 11, my family spent […]
