The Editor Who Reads Too Much

Lockdown Christmas

25/12/2020

Some of the books under the tree this year!

If you need to learn how to shed the stress during the holidays, I recommend a Minimalist Christmas.

If you're not successful at getting ride of the stress, I can recommend A Very Sweary Dictionary.

Happy birthday, Jane Austen!

16/12/2020

Jane Austen was born on this day in 1775. It's her 245th birthday!

Although she was acting in her and her family’s best interests, I see the loss of Jane Austen’s letters as one of the biggest travesties in the world of literature.

Her work speaks for herself, but I’m a JA fangirl, and if there’s one thing I love, it’s knowing what she was really thinking.

I found this book tucked away at The Open Book in Richmond while taking a lovely group on the London Bookshop Crawl back in February 2020.

Of course I haven’t read it yet, so this is a good chance to sit down and enjoy what letters do remain!
