We had a farmhouse in rural Ontario, similar to your description with five bedrooms on the second level and 2 staircases. Our dog would never descend the servant's staircase. We pondered why! <br />I will look forward to your book review. Like you, I read what my heart desires and not usually what is current or trending.<br />Milan Kundera is my current love. <br /><br /><br /><br />helen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-58065769981674998322014-11-23T20:05:40.141+01:002014-11-23T20:05:40.141+01:00Often, I wish I could read more "economically...Often, I wish I could read more "economically" and less consumingly. Once I got into a book I read without taking a breath rather than savouring it over a period of time.<br />By the way, on "Actes Sud" (that you recommended) I disovered Jean Darrig, which is of course just an easy and a bit of a trashy romancier policier. But I already read three of his polars just to relax and I enjoy imagining the scenes taking place in Aix, Martigues etc...(I think that was my aim in choosing him) Reminds me a bit of Izzo...<br /><br />And your photos are merveilleux, to dream along. Did you resolve your camera problem?<br />Silkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227231314673040029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-13671361631823307582014-11-23T02:47:19.531+01:002014-11-23T02:47:19.531+01:00 Lost in thought,being lost in an imagined world i...

I had a lamp hidden in there and would stack things under the hanging clothes to block off my "secret room". I would be all cozy and tucked up in there for hours and if anyone came looking for me, I would turn of the light and stay very quiet until they went away! :) Willow's Quiet Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808513772549995051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-59981278021273426772014-11-22T00:58:03.848+01:002014-11-22T00:58:03.848+01:00Heather like you reading was a complete refuge for...Heather like you reading was a complete refuge for me as a child and I guess still is! <br />Being the eldest of eight children it was my escape ( after my chores were done of course!)<br />Sometimes it breaks my heart when I am nearing the end of a book really I love!<br /><br />xoxo<br />Karena<br />The Arts by Karena<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Karenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206642885608991170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-41535165051310953932014-11-21T23:26:42.925+01:002014-11-21T23:26:42.925+01:00I bet you are reading 'The Goldfinch'?!

My mother's technique was to stand in the doorway and start talking nonsense until I finally emerged from my reader's fog. Such a great memory of her. I do hope you will let us know what the book is once you've finished it.<br /><br />And I will try to post a shot on IG of our Karina in a red ribbon as she, too, is a rescue, though as is often the case, I feel that she rescued us by giving us all she has in terms of love and loyalty.Judith Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079409605010969088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-27920733475288015752014-11-21T23:20:49.317+01:002014-11-21T23:20:49.317+01:00I love reading ROBIN"s take................I ...I love reading ROBIN"s take................I also love your description of your "reading closet!"<br />Instagram is fun.......however I have yet to participate with the TAGS!!I will get there............PIANO PIANO as they say in the old world ITALIA!XXLa Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682902106545680159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-29045665400210803352014-11-21T23:05:36.438+01:002014-11-21T23:05:36.438+01:00Reading: Sport of Mental Champions!

These days I don't seem to have much time for reading but it still sometimes happens I may become so absorbed in a great novel I don't hear or see anything that happens in the real world around me.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299152873788609754noreply@blogger.com
