| A random selection from Asta's library |
Surely it can't be too hard, I thought. I chose my books carefully, trying to keep them to a limit. I created a lovely slideshow of titles that made me smile as the preview displayed their pretty faces... covers... one after the other.
I saved it. I copied it. But when I tried to paste it, I had no idea where to paste it to. Blogs! I have so much to learn.
Anyway while I sort out this problem why don't you share with us the books that you would recommend. I covered topics like: art, writing, simplicity, eco living, spirituality. What topics would you chose? Or maybe you are mostly a fiction reader. Any favourite authors? I can't wait to hear from you.

One I adored earlier this year Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks. Also loved being judge for the Caleb poetry prize and read some great poetry by Andrew Lansdown, an anthology by Poetica Christi press and a unique book by Cameron Semmons and other contributers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list Dale. I love how different everyone's list is. I haven't read Caleb's Crossing but my husband has and he enjoyed it, and it certainly got good reviews - as all her books do. Asta x
