Which Witch?

Eva Ibbotson

Saw this, had a sudden flashback to reading Which Witch? by Eva Ibbotson, many (many) years ago. That's quite a power in and of itself. https://t.co/eTOPINiz1n

It being The Season of Missing Time (compounded by baby, travel and accidental glutening), I haven't made as much of this as I should have! Very proud of my sister Judith, whose #HonoursRest was well reviewed in @TheScotsman. #BookRecommendations https://twitter.com/jayzed_kay/status/1471486740791660544

Also, seeing as there should be a new letter sent tomorrow or Wednesday, I might as well retweet this too. Join me if you are interested in nature, fantasy fiction, music, books, TV, movies, and all manner of other things. It's essentially a writer's notebook. https://t.co/g8dMklztk4

@angie_a I can't remember if I already recommended this (probably did, I do, a lot, sorry - my brain is not exactly awake today!), but my favourite summer book is, err, The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. I read it every year, usually around this time. Have a great beach break!

Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugal's History and Culture

José Saramago
Alex CrowAlex Crow

@monicabyrne13 A People's History of the Portuguese Revolution by Raquel Cardeira Varela is good - looks at how women and artists (amongst others) were instrumental in the 1974 Carnation Revolution. José Saramago's classic, Journey to Portugal, is also worth a read.
