Tilly the Triceratops seemed a bit long-suffering about today's haul... I swear I didn't mean to get so many. I wanted to support Portal Bookshop, so that accounts for eight of them, and I had a gift card for Waterstones, but...
Still, I'm happy. Some people stockpile toilet paper, I stockpile stuff to read. And the tagged book looks fascinating and was on sale for only £5!
All of the posts today about literary #tours brought this book to mind.
The author takes a chronological look at the real houses that inspired the fictional homes of British authors, from Sterne‘s Shandy Hall to the Tallis mansion in Ian McEwan‘s Atonement (and yes, Pemberley is included). The mixing of biography with social history (and lots of black-and-white photos) makes this a really fun book to dip into.
