Thinking about Charles Dickens’s fantastic descriptions of people. At the Dickens’s Museum in London we were told he often looked in the mirror using his theater training to make faces to describe his characters from. I love thinking of this as I read Great Expectations.

One of those evenings when only John Donne will do. Yes, this is my poetry book. Where I tape my favorite poems into a notebook. https://t.co/QhI7S1onRj

My son asked me if this summer we could have a mother/son book club + read Dickens’s Great Expectations. So we thought we’d take this opportunity to see the Dickens museum. A good bit of background to get him excited about the book and made us both want to know more. https://t.co/wI0uCPcaA3

We are really into “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?” On Britbox . So much in fact that my 13 yr old now has a stack of Agatha Christie books beside his bed. Anyone watching?
