Talking 'bout Books & Shadow Shot Sunday


Having finished (and surprisingly enjoyed) 'Adam and Eve and Pinch Me' by Ruth Rendell, I have immersed myself in 'Morgan's Run' by Colleen McCullough. Reading about Bristol, England in the late 1700s where one of my ancestors was born, the same streets, occupations and everyday living - most interesting. Big, thick book of 600 pages to enjoy sitting in the shadows of the sheoak (casuarina).


There are some wonderful shots of shadows here. Thanks Harriet

Well, that looks like perfect peace; reading in the shadows. I've read Colleen McCullough's Tim and loved it. How I wish I had more time. One day I will, I know, just like you and I will be able to read and garden and blog. You're peaceful life is inspiring!

Those big fat books with epic stories...oh, yes. Perfect for lazy days of reading. And what a perfectly peaceful spot to read in.
