I finished that too, and though I thought it could have done with a litlle editing halfway through I still enjoyed it. I ended up starting on Peter Temple's An Iron Rose. So easy and flowing - I'm enjoying it so far. Next, The Luminaries. I'm nervous, so huge.<br />I'm loving doing Pip's course - its really given me direction and is so addictive!<br />What's the name of your blog Jules? Would love to have a look.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072426019153435206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427151140784384440.post-43151423943503125922014-02-07T02:29:22.200-08:002014-02-07T02:29:22.200-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072426019153435206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427151140784384440.post-72429261197576719322014-02-07T02:11:47.224-08:002014-02-07T02:11:47.224-08:00Hi Louise, I have just finished reading The Goldfi...Hi Louise, I have just finished reading The Goldfinch and thought it was brilliant. I love the Lauren Childs edition of Pippi Longstocking, we have it somewhere in our shelves too. Reading the comments, I might have to check out Burial Rites next though sounds intriguing. Your blog is looking great, I'm doing Pips course too and thought I'd say hello! x littlewoolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044255857519779930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427151140784384440.post-10980907344344946092014-02-06T20:01:24.741-08:002014-02-06T20:01:24.741-08:00Would love to see what you made!
You're much b...Would love to see what you made!<br />You're much better at making things than me I suspect. I so need a pattern and instructions that I can understand, and with these books I sometimes find it difficult understanding what they mean in English!

My books are all in Japanese, but illustrated instructions and with my tendency to take short cuts it worked fine!<br />We have also been reading Astrid Lindgren this year - the boys loved Karlsson-on-the-roof, love innocent naughtiness is kids books! It also inspried some craft...will forward a photo sometime.<br />Looking forward to more installments x<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583322147381903573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427151140784384440.post-64243867398770292922014-02-06T14:32:47.462-08:002014-02-06T14:32:47.462-08:00I know them both!

I read the entire Chronicles of Narnia set every couple of years! They are the only books I've read more than once, and I read them soooo many times. But I still love them. At the moment, I'm about to start reading 'Vantastic' (hoping it will put me off the idea of packing 4 kids in to a caravan) and the NSW DPI Guide to Getting Started in Free Range Poultry (for that bit of paradise which we find when we are on our road trip!!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703484758379809039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427151140784384440.post-91435819210837688252014-02-06T02:57:46.350-08:002014-02-06T02:57:46.350-08:00Eyrie is a little bit of a slog but I hear I'm...Eyrie is a little bit of a slog but I hear I'm not alone. I think it's because I've had a run of enormous books but Burial Rites was the exception. What a book - brilliant! It stayed with me for days, especially the final paragraph of her confusion about her death. Really moved me. I'm glad I'm not alone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072426019153435206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427151140784384440.post-25999582705404746322014-02-06T02:47:26.114-08:002014-02-06T02:47:26.114-08:00Love the fabric - definitely worth the crazy eyes ...Love the fabric - definitely worth the crazy eyes :) <br />I've just finished Burial Rites and it was epic.
