My mum pointed out to me a new feature in here little reading nook - a library chair. So called because it serves two vital functions - it provides a little step ladder, for those hard to reach books... Here's a sexy side view... And by folding it over, you get a chair to read … Continue reading The Library Chair

The Witcher – The Last Wish
Last year (like a fortnight ago but it's fun to say), @BookElfLeeds told me that she'd watched the first episode of the Witcher series on Netflix and thought it was a very 'me' show. https://youtu.be/ndl1W4ltcmg Two days later, I'd finished the entire eight episodes. What can I say - the Elf knows me very well! … Continue reading The Witcher – The Last Wish
Happy 2020!
2020 marks 10 years of Leeds Book Club. In that time, we have read some 380-odd books together, and met up roughly 360 times*. There have been cakes, podcasts, songs, films, comics, themes, an accidental incest year (in fiction, people!), utterly inappropriate choices, the best and the worst book I've ever read (not the same … Continue reading Happy 2020!

2020 Reads
I'm a little stunned that we're picking books for 2020...the future is now! And slightly less cool than I was expecting 😀 Anyhoo, we have our January books picked and I wanted to share them ASAP - partly to give the regulars a heads up as to what we're reading for when, but also to … Continue reading 2020 Reads
The Brontë Parsonage
This week, I have a friend from home visiting. We are both avid readers (in fact Laini has blogged for LBC in the past) and have a particular soft spot for the wild gothic stories drawn up by Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Visiting the place that kindled their imaginations and provided the backdrop for their … Continue reading The Brontë Parsonage
PICTURES – Douglas Coupland – Slogans for the 21st Century
Spotted these on the Guardian - HERE - and had to look them up. Douglas Coupland - do visit his website, it's a bit of a delight - is a Canadian author, designer and artist that I've been semi-aware of for years (he wrote Generation X: Tales for an accelerated Culture, JPod and Highly Inappropriate … Continue reading PICTURES – Douglas Coupland – Slogans for the 21st Century
