Book update



So, I have finally finished The Amber Spyglass and the last of the Dark Materials trilogy.

I have loved discovering these books as an adult rather than as a child.  I honestly do not think I would have enjoyed these as a child or even understood them.  But as an adult I have been immersed in the worlds that Philip Pullman has created.

It took me much longer to read The Amber Spyglass than the other two in the series and it was my least favourite of the three but overall I think the trilogy was fantastic.  I cannot wait for the second part of the series to come on the BBC in the Autumn.

Now to read the Book of Commonwealth.  I read the Belle du Savauge last year even before I read the Dark Material books and I can't wait to discover Lyra now that she is older.

Have you read these books?  Are you looking forward to the new series?

In terms of reading in September, I'm going to take it easy and not set a TBR and see what takes my fancy.  I've made my peace with myself that this hasn't and isn't going to be a good reading year for me and I'm not going to put pressure on myself

Happy reading

Love Lesley xx

Quick Catch Up

 Hi All I've been absence from this blog for a while as unfortunately my beloved hubby has been diagnosed with cancer.  We have caught it early and the prognosis is very good and positive.  It has been a strange year all round and the last couple of months have been more stressful and worrying to say the least. Things are now on the up and thus I feel it is time I get back into updating this little blog of mine, and this little catch up is to say I am coming back.  I am planning more regular content, showcasing my crafty endeavours, what I'm reading and life in general I am also pondering a better and more productive blog schedule for 2021. Watch this space. With love and wishing you a good week Lesley xx

What a Year!!!!

What a year 2020 has been.   Coronavirus has virtually dominated the whole world and the way we live our lives have altered for all.  We haven't been able to do all the things we would normally enjoy do,  due  to the national and local tiered restrictions imposed on us.  We haven't been able to visit friends and family, enjoys holidays and breaks away, do so called normal things like shopping and visits to cafes and restaurants and for some people haven't even been able to work.  To say the very least, this year has been tough for all. On a personal level, I've been lucky in the fact that I only experienced a very tiny period off on furlough and I am currently still working.  My husband also has been able to work throughout the pandemic, although he has been working from home. I haven't felt much like shopping so have only been shopping in the supermarkets if I can't get an online delivery.  Anything else I am afraid have come from Amazon....
