I read In Other Words last year (or the year before) and enjoyed it. I don't know any of the other books, but they look interesting.

A good haul, I think!

I have been eyeing up the bottom two books for a while so I will be interested to hear what you think of them. The Pullman looks intriguing too!

The Pullman is an extract from his forthcoming collection "Daemon Voices" (to be published in the autumn, I think), and is this year's Independent Bookshop Week essay so should be obtainable from all independents. I got mine at Blackwell's.

In a totally unrelated subject. I thought of you and your blog when I saw this wonderful mug. It's on sale and free shipping in UK...alas I'm in the states, but I'm thinking about the 'Old Rose' one for myself.

I have it, Deborah, but sweet of you to think of me! The mug sits on my desk full of pencils and pens and whatnot, and at the moment there's a tiny vase of real cornflowers beside it.
My daughter has the Old Rose mug, and it's lovely too.

Of course you have it - perfect.
Right! The Old Rose mug is soon to be all mine.
Thanks Deborah
