Another day, another photo of a stack of DWJ books
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...
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
The newest addition to my book pile (quite literally) and a wonderful one at that. Incredibly insightful book
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!
Diana Wynne Jones knows stuff, y'all.
