Books, bits, bobs and the occasional cat…
Well 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 MoreGood afternoon, bookworm, it’s lovely to see you again. Now, you may need to duck a little as you come through to the library; I was digging around in the old attic just out of curiosity, and came across some old, foil Christmas decorations like the ones I remember my mum hanging up when I […]
Read MoreHello, bookworm, it’s lovely to see you again. Do come in, but be careful of the wet floor; the Art and Craft books invited several genres to a Christmas crafting hour early this morning and it was rather messy, so it’s taken ages to tidy up. The True Crime genre got a little carried away, […]
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 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 MoreWelcome, bookworm – don’t trip over the piles of books! I’m doing a little reorganisation of the bookshelves here following some anti-social behaviour amongst the bookshelves. Last night, the feel-good fiction books were most upset when the psychological thrillers started loudly telling them how nobody can be trusted, spouting statistics about men killing their wives, […]
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 MoreGood morning, bookworm, let me take your coat and scarf. Goodness me, it’s chilly this morning as autumn wraps us in it’s embrace of change. I feel like I turned a little poetic there; it must be from dusting the poetry bookshelf this morning. They don’t get as much attention as the other books, so […]
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 […]
