Family busy-ness and personal poorliness have rather cut back on the postings recently, and now we’re into the Easter holidays: lots of reading, I hope, but how much time for posting?
I’ve managed to get to an ‘unusual’ library this week, and pick up ten fresh books for E. Plus a few that were on order came in. I’ve stashed the pile on an upper shelf in the Study, and I shall eke them out like rations, otherwise she’ll go through them in a morning! There’s a Gaskitt book – The Woman Who Won Things – which is an easy read, and will last maybe ten minutes…
The Library is closed now till Tuesday, so this is all we’ve got. It’s E’s birthday further into the school holidays, but I don’t know how many books she’ll actually receive – the relatives are fighting shy in case they buy books she has already read. I’m wary of asking her what she wants, because it will be wall-to-wall Rainbow Fairies. If she receives birthday money I think we’ll have to insist on a balanced book diet. Rainbow Fairy books are rather like sweeties – colourful, insubstantial and trashy without being complete rubbish. I can cope with her reading them in occasional small portions, but there has to be some real meaty stuff in between.
