Every Day is World Book Day

Is this a meme? I don’t know if it is meant to be a meme, but it is now. I stole the headings from [livejournal.com profile] coffeeandink because it is such a nice idea and it’s so long since I did a proper literary post.

The books I'm reading: Michelangelo in Ravensbrück by Countess Karolina Lanckorońska, Berlin Calling: American Broadcasters in Service to the Third Reich by John Carver Edwards, The Doodlebugs: The Story of the Flying-Bombs by Norman Longmate, The Black-Out Book by Evelyn August, and All Clear by Connie Willis. SPOT THE THEME.

The books I'm writing: It’s about flying bombs and Ravensbrück. I’ll just shut up now.

The book I love the most: Still The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber. That hasn't changed.

The last book I received as a gift: I think it was probably The Black-Out Book (not to be confused with Blackout), although I also got two others in the same gift pile and they were… World War II Allied Sabotage Devices and Booby Traps and SOE Agent: Churchill’s Secret Warriors. Some people might accuse the gift-giver of enabling.

The last book I gave as a gift: West with the Night by Beryl Markham, to my grandmother.

The nearest book: Well, it’s The Doodlebugs. My god I’m boring.

The last book I bought myself: Hahahahahahaha…. And now for something completely different… The Making of The Empire Strikes Back!
