Confession: it‘s not until I posted that last picture of the library book I‘ve been working on all week, that I noticed how familiar its UK cover looked in other Littens‘ photos. Because, as it turns out, I already owned a copy of this book. 🤦‍♀️

Now I‘m just hoping I still have the drive to finish it without a library due date breathing down my neck...

Centique 😂😂 I know the feeling. I have made a list on my phone of all the unread books I own because I found myself blithely buying more editions of the same thing at second hand book shops! 6y
ravenlee I always visit the same used book shop when I visit my in-laws. One year I bought The Pickwick Papers, because I thought it was time to read it. Got hone from the trip a few days later and put the book on the shelf...next to the identical copy I had bought a year or two prior...from the same store...same edition and everything. 🤦🏻‍♀️ At least my thinking is consistent. 6y
Reggie I bought the Milkman on kindle because there was a sale. And then 2 weeks later I cleaned out my car only to realize I had bought it at B&Ns like a month earlier. Lol, it happens. 6y
emtobiasz @Centique @ravenlee @Reggie you all are making me feel better! At least my duplicate was a library book! 6y

I‘ve been working my way through Reflections a few essays at a time this week, revelling in DWJ‘s writing about her writing. Imagine my delight, then, when I found The Ogre Downstairs in a Little Free Library on our walk this morning! #bookserendipity #lfl #tbr #thanksuniverse

Libraries are awesome. So is this book. If you are a writer, give this one a read. Jones left a legacy in the books she wrote and some of her processes are detailed in the essays in this volume. I'm a little over a third in and cannot recommend it enough.

Reflections, by Diana Wynne Jones, should definitely be added to your to-read list if you're a fan of her novels; the book talks a lot about what inspired them, and includes stories for Jones' childhood. It also has some great tips for writers of all categories and genres. #WhatToRead #NonFiction #Writers

This gem arrived in today's mail! I found Neil Gaiman's introduction to this book, which is included in his audio book The View from the Cheap Seats, so compelling that I ordered this book immediately! Looking forward to digging in!

catsuit_mango I just added it to my stack for exactly the same reason 9y
Louise @catsuit_mango Wow! I wonder if NG knows how powerful his reading of that intro is! He bringing a whole new audience to this book! 🤓✨ 9y
Louise Yikes! I meant "he's", but spell check was having none of it! ? 9y

BkClubCare Yep. ('Course I know that cuz Jenny speaks truth.) Are the Gin and Whiskey girls on Litsy? 9y
xicanti @BkClubCare I haven't seen 'em around, but I'm such a dabbler myself that I might have missed them. 9y
