Books, bits, bobs and the occasional cat…
Good evening, bookworm, do come in. Here, let me take your coat so the cats don’t lie on it and you get comfortable by the fire. Do you like the new forest green colour on the chimney breast? I had to go for a dark colour thanks to the dragons getting a little over-excited when […]
Read MoreWell hello, bookworm, how lovely it is to see you on this rainy January day! Come in and get dry by the fire. I’d say happy new year since this is the first visit of 2021 but that may be stretching the acceptable social conventions of that one a little too far since we’re almost […]
Read MoreGood evening, bookworm, do come in. Would you mind flicking the Christmas lights around the door, please? They’re a little temperamental, especially since the cats try and bat the lower bulbs. Ah, perfect! I love the different shadows and glow they cast upon the walls of my book nook; it looks rather artistic in a […]
Read MoreHello bookworm, have you been waiting long? I’m sorry I didn’t hear you knocking; I was in a world of my own there while I was dusting the bookshelves and trying to ignore the squabbling. It’s always the same: The classics genre seem to think a bit of dust adds a degree of gravitas to […]
Read MoreHello there, bookworm, and do come in. It’s almost dark so I’ll just light a few lamps and candles to make it cosy in my little library. Sit yourself down in a comfy chair, help yourself to a fluffy blanket, some cake and a cat or two and I’ll be with you in a moment […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm, do come in. Just be careful crossing the floor; I had to clean up the mess left by an altercation between some of the police procedurals and crime mystery books last night about which were superior (after careful negotiation, we have all agreed that they are each superior in their own special […]
Read MoreWelcome, bookworm, do come in. Can you believe we’re almost halfway through October? It’s my favourite season, full of snuggly blankets, hot chocolate and cosiness. Speaking of cosiness, I want to tell you about a book I’ve just read: It’s called Boomerville at Ballymegille and is written by Caroline James. Before I get to my […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm! Come in and snuggle under one of these thick, cosy blankets. I’ve only just managed to get the heating on; the dragons normally warm the pipes for me if I just need to take the chill off a room but this morning they stubbornly refused. I know why they’re sulking: I forbade […]
Read MoreWelcome, bookworm and a happy Sunday to you! I hope your plans today involve some resting and reading before we start the week again tomorrow. I have a pot of coffee this morning, as I need something to wake me up. Do help yourself, and have a pain au chocolat too. Shoo! I’m sorry, not […]
Read MoreWelcome, bookworm! Come in from the mist and have a look at what I’ve got here. Don’t worry about your shoes, it’s only around the Classics shelves that you need to take them off, or they’ll be demanding someone clean the carpet… I haven’t even had time to brew a pot of tea for you […]
