Stuck-in-a-Book's Weekend Miscellany
It's been a little while since I did one of these... and this one's going to be brief, because the painkillers I'm on for endless headaches have made me very sleepy! (They're not especially heavy-duty painkillers, but... well, maybe I have a predisposition to sleepiness. It's been noted before.)
1.) The book - is The Matriarch by G.B. Stern, which Daunt Books sent me a day or two ago - I've been wanting to read some of her fiction for ages, and this is a great opportunity in a lovely edition.
2.) The link - oh, just Buzzfeed. I spend my life there now.
3.) The blog post - Washington Wife has put up another two hilarious posts - read 'em here and here.

I've yet to read any Stern, but that Daunt cover looks lovely!
ReplyDelete(Hope the headaches get sorted - have you had your eyes tested recently?)
I'm sorry to hear about the headaches - I suffer from those as well, and they can be so draining.
ReplyDeleteI came across a copy of The Matriarch Chronicles at a used-bookstore, and though I've only read one of G.B. Stern's books, I couldn't resist it (the story of my life & my TBR stacks).
What an extraordinarily clever cover design!
ReplyDeleteI hope the headaches go away soon.
ReplyDeleteI am rarely swayed by a cover but oh dear, I am so tempted by 1)
ReplyDeleteI want to read The Matriarch based on the cover alone!
