I might have mentioned them last year - they've been on my 50 Books You Must Read list for years now, and I gave Darlene and Rachel copies, both of whom wrote about the book (As It Was) so maybe it was via me, directly or indirectly!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-56859079356632237482013-02-25T18:50:18.156+00:002013-02-25T18:50:18.156+00:00I am one of the hoard who rushed to purchase Guard...I am one of the hoard who rushed to purchase Guard Your Daughters after your glowing review :). I have yet to read it however :(. <br /><br />I have only seen one episode of Happy Endings, but it did not knock my socks off. I can watch it on demand, maybe I will give it another shot. But I hope for your sake, it makes it to a 4th season!

Your post about idioms with horses is brilliant, very enjoyable and very educational (especially from a foreigner point of view). And I love the post about new words that enter the dictionary. When I was a child I used to entertain myself for hours reading different dictionaries (I still do but I don’t brag about it). <br />Braggadocious – what a brilliant word!<br />And your bookshelves look fantastic, Simon! <br />Agnieszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033810414839540800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-30769702294197477482013-02-24T09:58:03.175+00:002013-02-24T09:58:03.175+00:00"Happy Endings" is the greatest show on ..."Happy Endings" is the greatest show on TV???

I remember seeing several bloggers talk about her memoirs towards the end of last year - were you one of them Simon? I recently read The Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane who pays tribute to Edward Thomas all through the book - and it reminded me of the memoirs I had read about - ... and so off to my internet shopping basket I did trot : ) - it is wonderful though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
