First of all: Thanks to everyone who wished me well - the cold is not gone yet, but I am able to read (and think) again. ;")
So, here we go:
For my reading group I am still with
MANSFIELD PARK by Jane AustenWe are now at chapter 20 - and I still think that Fanny is a quite invisible heroine - which I find somewhat interesting..
Last week I read:
the January columns of
MEIN HERBST- UND WINTERGARTEN by Vita Sackville-West- an arrangement of her Garden columns which were edited as books in the 1950ies as IN YOUR GARDEN (1951), IN YOUR GARDEN AGAIN (1953), MORE FOR YOUR GARDEN (1955) and EVEN MORE FOR YOUR GARDEN (1958). This is a German edition arranged by Julia Bachstein.
and I also read:
This week I re-read:
ALL-NIGHT PARTY : THE WOMEN OF BOHEMIAN GREENWICH VILLAGE AND HARLEM, 1913- 1930 by Andrea Barnet
Next week or sooner I'll read:
LOOK WHO IT IS! by Alan CarrSo - what are your picks? I hope you'll have a great week and tons of fun with your reads!
Your books look so fun - I hope you are enjoying them all!
AntwortenLöschenI'm intrigued by the Billie Holiday biography - I love her music.
AntwortenLöschenIs FRL the equivalent to "Miss" in English? I wonder that every time I visit your site, so I thought I'd ask.
AntwortenLöschenI read the last part of Mansfield Park last year and decided it is my least favorite of the Austen novels because the ending it to talk-talk and not enough kiss-kiss. Let me know what you think when you get there.

My Head is Full of Books
Thank you, Sheila! (I am!)
AntwortenLöschenHer Royal Orangeness - I do love it, too! ;")
Anne Bennett - yes, Frl. is short for Fräulein which means indeed "Miss". ;")
I'll let you know when I find out what I think of Mansfield Park's ending.
