book loot in the mail and all the things i'm reading

a catch up to do with amazing book loot in the mail from friends, plus what i'm reading and what i've been up to! We had a day of galleries and museums when the sun came out briefly
my friend James Griffiths' book about the band Squeeze is: 'The Pop Music Played' published by Orchard Abbott

"The X of Y" book title system is so true and well as "the so-and-so's daughter", so-and-so being defined by their profession. Squeeze was great.

Tempted! One of my favorite songs ever! Their lyrics are so clever.
Picked up Christmassy Tales for my iPad!

Love Squeeze and that period in music :)

I’m currently reading Persuasion and I love your channel.

You had me at Maude the Tigon. I just ordered Christmassy Tales. 🐯🦁

I talk about that Great Hall gig in the book...didn't know you were there too! It also just occurred to me last night that there's some weird synchronicity going on with the title of the epilogue...

I had to look up John Lyons and his work is wonderful. Those colours are magical.

It was a good exhibition

I've just finished the girl on the 88 bus. It was indeed prompted by your video with it featuring 😂 I absolutely adore the story, to be honest. I thought it was so well written, and I was absolutely unable to put it down. It's so interesting to me when I find a book I can't put down. I try to analyze why so that I can keep finding treasures like it to read. Often, I can talk about the book and what I loved, etc. But there's still something extra I can't quite explain.

[@paulmagrs2474]

That extra something is what keeps us hunting favourites, I guess

Eternal Champion is the phrase you were after!

[@paulmagrs2474]

So it was!
