PERSEPHONE READING WEEK
Imagine my surprise when I opened the mail yesterday to see yours truly had his review of Dorothy Whipple’s The Priory quoted in the brand new issue of the Persephone Biannually. I had seen some other folks in the UK blogosphere last week write about how they had been included and I thought wistfully how fun it would be quoted in the Biannually. And boom, this week there it was. What fun.
I meant to review The Making of a Marchioness tonight, but work ran late and I barely have the energy to pop out this little self-congratulatory bit of boasting. But after all, if one doesn’t have the energy for that, does one have the energy for life?

Congratulations, Thomas! It is such a lovely surprise and serendipitous that it should arrive in time for this week. I was delighted to see you quoted (although selfishly I had wished it had been for The Home-Maker!)

JoAnn: It is a fun picture, but the scanner seems to have distorted it a bit.
Frances: No, no idead they were going to include that quote.
Nadia: Don't worry about it. You obviously had “Matt” on your mind. Is there something you would like to share…?

Thomas I have linked to you in my latest post… on further reading I was rather upset to read that the Persephone Book Shop in Kensington Church Street is closing. What a shame. Anyway – well done you, you have every reason to boast!

Thomas – I just found out that I've been quoted as well! I am so thrilled. I don't have a copy of the biannually so I might use some of your pics of the catalogue. Hope you don't mind. I'll mention in my post that they're your pics and that you've been quoted too. Isn't this so cool?
